S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT FOR HOPE III SINGLE FAMILY HOMEOWNERSHIP PROGRAM FUNDS RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Fort Manager to submit an application i Housing Partnership to the U. Development to receive funds to Homeownership Program in Fort Worth. DISCUSSION: Worth City Council n conjunction with 5. Department of operate the HOPE authorize the City the Tarrant County Housing and Urban III Single Family The City of Fort Worth has operated the Urban Homesteading Program for six years. In those six years, sixty-five (65) vacant houses in the Polytechnic Heights and Stop Six neighborhoods have been acquired, and sixty homeowners have made repairs and moved into their new homes. The program has been an excellent tool to help stabilize neighborhoods with several vacant houses. The program injects ownership pride and concern into neighborhoods that desperately need more community involvement. Unfortunately, the appropriation for the Urban Homesteading Program was eliminated in the federal budget this last year. Taking the place of the Urban Homesteading Program is the HOPE III Program. The HOPE III Program is a competitive grant from HUD which provides funds for eligible agencies to acquire, rehabilitate, and sell government- owned properties to low-income first-time homebuyers. The City of Fort Worth's Housing and Human Services Department is interested in utilizing a maximum of $2,430,000 in HOPE III grant funds to operate a homeownership program in Fort Worth over a two-year period. The plan calls for 75 low-income households to benefit from this first-time homebuyers program. The City's program would include acquisition of vacant units, rehabilitation of the units, marketing to low-income families, budget counselling and homeownership education for the new homebuyers, follow-up services to monitor the new homeowners, and some job enhancement resources for new buyers. The City of Fort Worth will be part of a larger application for HOPE III funds being submitted to HUD by the Tarrant County Housing Partnership on behalf of the City of Fort Worth, Tarrant County, and other non-profit housing organizations working in various areas throughout Tarrant County. HOPE III funds are awarded on a competitive basis. Applications which indicate there is collaboration between public entities and non-profit agencies are given additional consideration. FISCAL CERTIFICATION/INFORMATION One-fourth of the funds for the HOPE III program must be provided by the participating agency in the form of a match to the federal funds provided. The City of Fort Worth plans to match these federal funds with a combination of Fort Worth Housing Finance Corporation Housing Endowment Earned Interest funds ($360,000), UDAG program income ($180,000) and the value of donated property. City Council action will be needed to reprogram UDAG funds should the HOPE III application be approved. All other activities under the program will be paid for by the HOPE III grant funds. No General Fund dollars will be utilized in this project.

When the motion was put to a vote by the Mayor, it prevailed unanimously. M&C G-9604 re There was presented Mayor and Council Communication No. G-9604 from the City Golf Fee Structure and Manager, as follows: Fee Increase was denied SUBJECT: GOLF FEE STRUCTURE AND FEE INCREASE RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council: 1. Authorize a new golf fee structure and fee increase to become effective 30 days after approval, and 2. Authorize the Superintendent of Golf Operations to temporarily reduce green and cart rental fees during appropriate times to increase play. DISCUSSION: In June 1991, the American Golf Corporation submitted a request to increase golf fees at Z. Boaz Golf Course. In response, Park and Recreation Department staff conducted an analysis of the current fee structure including review of operating revenues/ expenditures and the area market. Based on the findings, a recommendation to adjust fees at all courses was made to the City Council on November 19, 1991 (M&C G-9393). The Council elected to postpone action on this issue pending further review and input from the new Director of Park and Recreation. The Golf Advisory Committee endorsed the staff's recommendation for the proposed fee program in its entirety on October 9, 1991; however, the Committee elected to rescind its support on March 11, 1992. The Committee cited concerns toward current considerations for possible further leasing and size of reserves in the Golf Fund. The Park and Recreation Advisory Board endorsed the staff's recommendation on October 15, 1991, with the exception of the proposal to eliminate the Senior Pass. The basis of the staff's proposal to eliminate the pass was made in response to a recommendation made by the City Auditor, the findings of the market analysis, and results of the financial review. On March 17, 1992, a motion to endorse the current staff recommendation, which includes the continuation of the Senior Pass, failed to receive a majority vote from the Board. On February 6, 1992, a community meeting was held with senior golfers to seek additional input regarding the Senior Pass issue. Staff presented five (5) alternatives to the current proposal. Strong consensus was received from those present in support of the option to eliminate the issuance of any new passes beginning in 1995 and grandfathering all passes existing at that time. A secondary level of support was expressed for continuing the pass system as is and, if necessary, increasing the annual fee to $300.00. On February 18, 1992, the City Council Privatization Committee reviewed the fee issue and elected to recommend to the full Council that the senior pass continue Residents Only at an adjusted rate of $300.00 per year. In addition, it recommended that the weekday senior/handicap fees be adjusted from the current $6.00 per round to $7.00 per round. Upon further investigation, it has been determined that a resident only program cannot be established at Pecan Valley Golf Course due to the fact that this facility is on federal property. Therefore, staff recommends that the Resident Only restriction be dropped since only 2% of the total passes sold are to non-residents. The Park and Recreation Department has determined that the proposed fee increase is justifiable considering: 1) results of the area market analysis, 2) historical adjustment practices, 3) trends in operational costs and 4) future capital needs. The Proposal Before The City Council Includes: 1. A separate Sunset Fee established for weekends and holidays due to the fact that the amount of play during prime weekend evenings does not indicate the need for the same level of discount as weekday evenings. 2. The addition of seven (7) Federal/State holidays which are not recognized by the City within the current weekend and holiday fee schedule. The proposed golf fee structure includes these Minutes of City Council T-3 Page 539 540 M&C G-9604 cont. M&C G-9605 re rental rates for Will Rogers Auditori Tuesday, April 7, 1992 Federal/State holidays to provide an avenue to increase revenues in accordance with increased play. 3. A promotional discount from regular fees be allowed at the discretion of the Superintendent of Golf. This request is made due to the fact that under some circumstances, such as poor weather conditions or as business conditions dictate, it would prove beneficial to lower fees temporarily in an effort to increase play. 4. Increase or decrease of individual fees as follows: Category Current Fees Proposed Fees Green Fees - Daily $ 16.00 9 Hole Cart Weekday $ 9.00 $ 10.00 Weekend/Holiday $ 10.00 $ 12.00 Sunset Weekday $ 6.00 $ 7.00 Sunset Weekend/Holiday $ 6.00 $ 8.00 Junior -Weekday Only $ 6.00 $ 4.00 School Team - Weekday Only $ 4.00 $ 4.00 Senior Handicap/Weekday Only $ 6.00 $ 7.00 Senior Passes $275.00 $300.00 Cart Rentals * All fees are listed per person.

At the time of the Minute Order approval, that cost was estimated at $575,000. Bids for the project were received by the State on February 4, 1992. The low bid was given by Gilbert Texas Construction Corporation in the amount of $3,234,446.07. The total project cost is $3,627,336.50, which includes engineering and inspection.
