PROPOSAL:
It is proposed that the Fort Worth City Council waive the building-related permit fees for
the renovation of the YWCA.
BACKGROUND:
The YWCA has been involved in an extensive capital campaign to renovate the historic
downtown building, which houses its operations. Every major local foundation and over
600 donors have supported the campaign to date. The renovation and expansion of the
YWCA building will provide additional space and modernize current space to support the
programs operated from the building and to meet all current building codes. The YWCA's
main programs include the Creative Enrichment Child Care Program,the AIM Program
#001, (Achievement, Ideals, Motivation) and the Supportive Living Program.
The YWCA increased its construction budget in order to ensure that the project would
comply with the City's long term plans for the P Street corridor in Downtown. The
YWCA is one of the few non-profit organizations involved in upgrading its facilities in the
owntawn area and the cost of doing so can be prohibitive. A YWCA request to waive
fees is attached to this proposal.
The waiver of the fees will include all permit-related fees including plan review,permit,
and inspection fees for the renovation and expansion. These fees are estimated to be
approximately$18,269.50. Because of the need to begin construction of the project,the
YWCA has already paid $7459.92 in fees. All building related permit fees paid to date
will be reimbursed.
A breakdown of the estimated fees to be waived are as follows:
• Building $ 6,929.50
• Encroachment Permit Fees $ 8,840.00
• Fire Sprinkler Tap Fee $ 1,300.00
• Fire Sprinkler Impact Fee $ 1,200.
Total $18,269 0"-
