Adopt the attached ordinance increasing receipts and appropriations in the Acquisition - NPU 2-27 Neighborhood Park Project of the Park Dedication Fees Fund in the amount of$224,500.00 from available earned interest and available park dedication fees and reducing the unspecified Park Dedication Fees Fund - Interest Earnings Center in the amount of$195,654.27 and reducing the unspecified Park Dedication Fees Fund - Neighborhood Park Land Fees Center in the amount of $29,845.73; 2.

Authorize the City Manager or his designee to accept the conveyance, pay just compensation and record the appropriate instruments; and 4. Dedicate the property as parkland upon conveyance as McPherson Park. DISCUSSION: The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to acquire land located in southeast Fort Worth in accordance with the Neighborhood and Community Park Dedication Policy and the Park, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan, which calls for the provision of adequate park and recreational areas in the form of Neighborhood Based Parks and Community Based Parks. In December 2014, the Park and Recreation Department began assessing potential properties in south Fort Worth for neighborhood park land acquisition. Due to subdivision population growth specific to Neighborhood Park Unit 2-27 where no neighborhood parkland currently exists, this resulted in an underserved neighborhood parkland need of approximately 14.1 acres based on current population. Upon completion of internal staff assessment of various parcels, the site located at 1229 McPherson Road was found most suited for a neighborhood park. As the site is centrally located adjacent to multiple neighborhood subdivision developments and is fronted by a collector street to existing neighborhoods with pedestrian access, it is found suitable for recreational amenity development with good site conditions and available utilities. Logname: 21PMD 1229 MCPHERSON ROAD ACQUISITION Page 1 of 3 Staff recommends acquiring approximately 14.1 acres of land located at 1229 McPherson Road from Dung Dinh Ta, Chong Dinh Hoang Ta and Loc Dinh Ta, Owners, by way of voluntary acquisition to meet the need for additional parkland in south Fort Worth. An independent appraisal was performed and the owner accepted the appraised value for the property. Staff has received an executed purchase contract from the seller. Upon City Council approval, a site survey will be performed to complete the due diligence of this property which will be reviewed prior to closing. In addition, the City's Park and Recreation staff will ensure the property meets the requirements for its proposed use as a neighborhood park. The budget for this project is as follows: Description Amount [Purchase Price $200,000.00 Closing Cost $ 10,000.00 Site Survey $ 9,500.00 Project Management, ect. $ 5,000.00 Total Project Budget $224,500.00 This project is identified in the Park and Recreation Department's Five-Year Capital Plan (2015-2020) under the funding request for land acquisition. The Neighborhood and Community Park Dedication Policy and the Park, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan call for the provision of adequate park and recreational areas in the form of Neighborhood Based Parks and Community Based Parks. The park will be held in reserve status until development occurs. The annual cost to maintain this parkland in reserve status is estimated to be $308.00. When the park is developed, additional funding will be requested for maintenance operations of the added facilities and the resultant increase in use. The property is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 8, Mapsco 432 F6. This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
