PROPOSAL PROPOSED BY: CITYAANAGER'S REVIEW
Councilman Williams
Background
In 1978, the City Council authorized City participation with United Way and the Sid
Richardson Foundation in a Southeast Fort Worth Study. The purpose of the study was
to review the social service and facility needs in that area of the City.
The Sid Richardson Foundation funded the study, with in-kind participation by United
Way and the City. A committee of area residents chaired originally by Mrs. Walter
Barbour and Augustus Whitted, Jr., approved the study design and monitored the
collection of the needs data.
In the spring of 1978, I joined the Planning Committee which now has made eleven
recommendations for implementation during 1981. These are listed on the final two
pages of the attached document.
I have met recently with representatives of United Way and the Sid Richardson
Foundation to discuss plans for implementing the individual recommendations. The
Sid Richardson Foundation is considering funding activities which support of
Recommendations 3, 4 and 5. Also, they have agreed to review a proposal from the
City which would address Recommendation 2 and possibly provide full or partial
funding.
The United Way is following up on Recommendations 10 and 11.
Proposal
The Planning Committee proposes that the City Manager develop a plan to implement
Recommendations 7 and 8 and that Recommendation 9 be addressed by the City's Crime
Prevention Task Force.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the Southeast Fort Worth Study and
that the City Manager be authorized to develop plans to implement Recommendations
7 and 8.
