DISTRICT 9)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to
1 Adopt the attached supplemental appropriation ordinance increasing appropriations in the General
Fund in the amount of $57 726 00 and decreasing the unreserved, undesignated General Fund
balance by the same amount; and
2. Make payment in the amount of $ 57 726 00 to the Fort Worth Independent School District for design
services rendered for the Rosemont Park Community Center and Elementary School Joint Use Facility
DISCUSSION
The purpose of this M&C is to authorize payment in the amount of $ 57 726 00 to the Fort Worth
Independent School District (FWISD) for reimbursement of design services rendered for the Rosemont
Park Community Center and Elementary School Joint Use Facility and identify alternate funding As a
result of this project termination these costs are ineligible for capital project funding
The 2004 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) allocated $7 500 000 00 for design and construction of
three new community centers. One of the facilities to be constructed was to be located in the near
southside area of the city in COUNCIL DISTRICT 9
On May 5 2009 (M&C L 14769) the City Council authorized the conversion of approximately 15 45 acres
of Rosemont Park for the development of a joint use facility community center/elementary school in
partnership with FWISD On June 23 2009 (M&C G-16611) the City Council adopted Resolution No
3752-06-2009 as amended This resolution supported negotiations of an Interlocal Agreement whereby
the City of Fort Worth would provide funding up to $2 500 000 00 with FWISD providing $19 177,212 00
together totaling $21 677,212.00 towards design and construction of the proposed facility
While design development proceeded the community adjacent to the park initially voiced concern
regarding the impact on the open space in the park. Subsequently the community registered its
opposition to the project because of the proposed gas well site located just west of the park. From June
through November 2009 neighborhood concerns increased regarding the possibility of compromising
neighborhhod safety relating to the proposed gas well site and oppostion to the foss of green space in

Rosemont Park due to the development of the joint use facility These concerns culminated during a public
meeting held in November 18 2009 in which the majority in attendance voiced their oppostion to the
development of the project. Subsequently in late December 2009 PACS staff was directed to terminate
the project and in turn notified FWISD of the decision
On February 18 2010 FWISD submitted to PACS a request for re-imbursement in the amount
of $88,490 00 for the City's portion of design costs up to termination of the project. Upon negotiation City
and FWISD staff agreed to a re-imbursement amount of $57 726 00 in which both parties found the
amount to be fair and reasonable as compensation for FWISD design efforts
Rosemont Park is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 9 and is classified as a community park.
