DISCUSSION:
In May 2013, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was
executed between the City of Fort Worth and the Community
Foundation Project Henry, LLC (CFPH), a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Community Foundation of North Texas, Inc.,
outlining a process for fundraising and the construction of the
medical treatment ward at the Fort Worth animal shelter. This
project has been named Project Henry and CFPH has graciously
offered their services pro—bono. In addition, CFPH has enlisted Pat
Cornell, CEO of Railhead Properties, as construction manager. Mr.
Cornell and his architect have agreed to provide their services
pro—bono.
A number of generous residents and foundations from Fort Worth
have stepped forward to offer the funds necessary to design and
construct the animal medical ward. To date, approximately the
amount of$775,000.00 has been raised by CFPH for this project
and it is projected that all of the funds to construct and equip the
medical treatment ward will be in place by October 1, 2013. Some
of the donors to Project Henry include: The Amon G. Carter
Foundation, Marlene and Jim Beckman, Jean Walker—donor
advisor to the Community Foundation and Nick Martin—donor
advisor to the Community and Walsh Foundations.Early on,
Michael Bennett of Bennett Benner Pettit Architects provided an
initial plan for the medical treatment ward pro—bono. The final
plan from Mr. Cornell and his architect calls for 3,600 square feet
of added space that includes a clinic and space for approximately
58 additional kennels for both dogs and cats.
The City and CFPH will enter into a Lease Agreement with a
provision allowing for the construction of improvements to the
animal shelter property as authorized by this Mayor and Council
