SUBJECT: INCREASE IN BEER PRICES AT MUNICIPAL GOLF COURSES

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve an increase in the selling
price of a can of beer at the municipal golf courses from $1.25 to $1.50, tax
included.

M&C G-9078 cont.
TUESDAY, MARCH 19, 1991
DISCUSSION:
In September 1988, the City Council set beer prices at its municipal golf
courses at $1.25 per can, tax included. At that time a case of beer cost
$10.15. In the years since, the cost of a case of beer has steadily risen.
The most recent cost increase due to the "Floor Stock Tax" on all liquor
(effective January 1, 1991), was substantial. This tax revised the cost per
case of beer from $10.85 to $12.20.
This cost increase will have a significant negative impact on the revenues of
the Golf Division. If the price increase is not approved, net profit on beer
sales will fall $11,100 from 1989-90.

*Projected costs and net profits without a price increase.
A price increase to $1.50 per can, tax included, would generate a projected
increase in profit of $42,550 over 1989-90. Projected net profits would
total $173,900.
Staff conducted a telephone survey of all other municipal/public golf courses
in the Fort Worth area and determined that the average selling price of a can
of beer is $1.79. The proposed increase would still leave Fort Worth's price
less than the average price in this area.

by increasing the price from $1.50 to $1.75, be adopted.

COMMENTS ON SPECIFICATIONS:
The specifications required a specific pesticide be made available. As some
manufacturers limit distributors for their products, some vendors contacted
do not have access to all chemicals specified.
The low bid submitted by Terra International, Inc., for Item 1, is
recommended for rejection. The product proposed by this vendor, Jury
herbicide (glyphosate 41%), is labeled to control grasses and weeds in
agricultural crop land. To utilize this product for ornamental applications
would be in violation of the label, constituting possible fines from the
Texas Department of Agriculture and the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and
Rodenticide Act.
The low bid submitted by Wilbur -Ellis Company for Item 6 fails to meet the
packaging requirements of one -gallon containers. The alternate low bid
submitted by this vendor for Item 32 fails to meet the chemical composition
of the specified Ortho X-77 Spreader, nor is it an EPA approved product for
use in water supply areas. These two bids submitted by this vendor are
recommended for rejection.
The low bid submitted by Mann Farm and Ranch for Item 11 is for a product
representing 3.6% active ingredients instead of the specified 7% active
ingredients. The product as proposed by this vendor is unacceptable and this
bid is recommended for rejection.
The low alternate bid submitted by Sports Turf Supply for Item 33 is
recommended for rejection. The product proposed by this vendor requires 32
ounces per 100 gallons (for one acre), versus the specification requirement
Minutes of City Council R-3 Page 285
,vbJ
TUESDAY, MARCH 19, 1991
M&C P-4827 cont. of 8 to 16 ounces per 100 gallons. This product as proposed would require
approximately twice the amount of chemical as the specified product.

These chemicals will be used for weed and insect control in various parks and
golf courses within the City.
The recommended vendors are in compliance with the City's DBE policy.

On May 25, 1990, President Bush signed the Fiscal Year 1990 Emergency
Supplemental Appropriations Act - H.R. 4404 which made statutory a Special
Projects Grant allocation to the City of Fort Worth for the Presbyterian
Night Shelter in the amount of $513,000. The language within the
appropriations bill states that the funds must be used for "facilities which
house homeless families and/or services to assist persons with substance
abuse problems." The $513,000 has been designated as seed funds for the
construction of a facility to house programs, services and activities which
meet the language within the appropriations bill. The U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development will review the proposal for the use of the
funds and award the grant.
In the fall of 1990, City staff began working with the Presbyterian Night
Shelter in the development of a proposal which would utilize the funds for
the purposes stated in the appropriations bill. A committee, composed of
City staff from several departments and representatives of the Texas
Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation and Fort Worth Challenge,
was formed to act as a technical review team for the proposal submitted by
the Presbyterian night shelter.
On February 15, the Presbyterian Night Shelter submitted a proposed use for
the funds. The project will consist of the following:
1. The $513,000 will partially fund the construction of a 33,000 square
foot specialized day and residential facility for indigent/homeless
persons who suffer from mental illness or substance abuse;
Special Projects Grant - $ 513,000
Presbyterian Night Shelter Funds - 150,000 (match)
Local/Regional Foundations and - 737,000 (match)
Private Contributions
Total Construction Cost - $1,400,000
2. All match funds will be raised by the Presbyterian Night Shelter. The
facility will be solely owned by the Presbyterian Night Shelter;

&C C-12773 cont. 3. The facility will be located across the street from the present shelter
on a 48,750 square foot lot owned by the Presbyterian Night Shelter;.
4. The operations and maintenance of the facility will be handled by
Tarrant County Mental Health and Mental Retardation through a contract
with the Presbyterian Night Shelter;
5. Programs, services and activities housed within the facility will be
provided by Tarrant County Mental Health and Mental Retardation. These
will include the
a. Billy Gregory Adult Recovery Center - a medical detoxification unit
for indigent/homeless substance abusers.
b. Pine Street Recovery Center - an in-patient primary care program
for homeless/indigent clients who are chemically dependent.
C. Day Haven Program for the Mentally Ill - services for the mentally

d. Transitional Living Units for Mentally -Ill Mothers with Their

The programs, services and activities outlined above will be funded through
sources developed by Tarrant County Mental Health and Mental Retardation.
Such sources will include the: 1) Texas Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse;
2) Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act; 3) Ronald Arnold Johnson
State monies; 4) Medicaid Reimbursement; and 5) Texas Rehabilitative
Commission.
Indirect costs do not apply since there are no personnel costs involved.
FINANCING:
The City of Fort Worth will accept the funds, in the amount of $513,000, from
the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and subcontract such
funds to the Presbyterian Night Shelter of Tarrant County. No matching funds
are required on the part of the City to receive the funds from HUD or to
subcontract with the Presbyterian Night Shelter. All additional funds, above
the $513,000 needed for the construction of the "specialized day and
residential facility," will be provided by the Presbyterian Night Shelter of
