Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing appropriations in the Park Dedication Fees Fund in the amount of$100,000.00 for the acquisition of Chamberlin Park Expansion Project from the reserved Park Planning Fees; 2. Authorize the acquisition of a fee simple interest in 0.215 acres of land located at 5724 Helmick Avenue, Fort Worth, Texas, from Eric Charles Taylor in the amount of$16,800.00; 3.

Accept and dedicate the property as parkland upon conveyance to be added to Chamberlin Park. DISCUSSION: The 2014 Bond Program Proposition Two: Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Center Improvements allocated $5,300,000.00 for the demolition of the existing Como Neighborhood Center, acquisition of new land and development of a new neighborhood center, which would include areas for youth and adult programming, fitness and meetings. In addition, private contributions in the amount of$1,700,000.00 were committed to fully fund the project as estimated at the time. On June 30, 2015, a professional services contract was administratively executed with Perkins+Will, Inc., (City Secretary Contract No. 46791) in the amount of$40,000.00 for facilitation of three public meetings, site selection and schematic design of the new Como Neighborhood Center. Community meetings were held on June 11, 2015 and July 16, 2015. As a result of the input received on July 16th, the consensus of the community was to relocate the existing center in the area of Chamberlain Park located at 4689 Halloran Street. In order to preserve and maximize the park open space, acquisition of additional land to the north of the park is necessary. Chamberlin Park is currently 6.941 acres and contains a multi-use ballfield, fencing and security lights. In order to accommodate the construction of the new neighborhood center at this site, the expansion of Chamberlin Park is required and will be provided through the Park Dedication Fees funds. This facility will Logname: 21PMD5724HELMICKAVE Page 1 of 3 provide areas for youth and adult programming, fitness and multi-purpose rooms. Staff recommends acquiring approximately 0.215 acres of land located at 5724 Helmick Avenue owned by Eric Charles Taylor to relocate Como Neighborhood Center in west Fort Worth. An independent appraisal was performed and the owner accepted a negotiated value for the property. The special warranty deed conveying the fee simple interest to the City will be executed by the owner and held in escrow at the title company. Upon City Council approval, Staff will proceed with acquiring the fee simple interest except for the mineral estate for the property listed below. The deed to the City will contain a surface waiver for the exploration of the mineral estate.
