COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 6/20/2017 - Ordinance'No. 22788-06 2017
DATE: Tuesday, June 20, 2017 REFERENCE NO.: **C-28284
LOG NAME: 23Z00 CREEK - TRINITY RIVER OXBOW GRANT APPLICATION
SUBJECT:
Authorize Application for and, if Awarded, Acceptance of a Grant from the North Central Texas Council of
Governments in an Amount Up to $200,000.00 for the Zoo Creek—Trinity River Oxbow Pollution Control
Project to Reduce Bacteria, Nutrients, Sediment and Other Water Pollutants in the Vicinity of the Zoo
Creek—Trinity River Oxbow Within Forest Park (COUNCIL DISTRICT 9)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize application for, and acceptance of, if awarded, a grant from the North Central Texas Council
of Governments in an amount up to $200,000.00 for the engineering design for a water quality project for
the reduction of bacteria, nutrients, sediment and other water pollutants in the vicinity of the Zoo Creek —
Trinity River Oxbow within Forest Park;
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute all applicable grant contracts including renewals and
amendments; and
3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Grants Fund in an amount up to $200,000.00 upon receipt of the grant.
DISCUSSION:
The North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) encourages applications for funds awarded
through the NCTCOG Environmental Stewardship Grant Program. If awarded, funds provided through this
program allow for the engineering design of a water pollution control project. The Code Compliance
Department's Environmental Management Division and other department representatives have
collaborated to prepare an application for the design of a project entitled the Zoo Creek—Trinity River
Oxbow Pollution Control Project. Based on the grant program requirements, the project would focus on
water quality improvements in Zoo Creek which ultimately discharges into the Trinity River.
Surface water quality data suggest that water quality in the area can be improved through a design which
naturally reduces pollutants and promotes safety for water recreation activities such as wading, swimming,
and tubing. If awarded, the City of Fort Worth will solicit professional engineering services for the
development of the specific project design. The proposed engineering design would modify the oxbow to
allow for natural treatment to reduce pollutants, to offer outdoor education, and to support recreation in
Forest Park.
This grant has no matching requirement and indirect costs have not been included.
This contract will be with a governmental entity, state agency or public institution of higher education:
North Central Texas Council of Governments.
