RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager to apply for and execute a grant contract, if awarded, with Texas Department
of State Health Services' Regional and Local Services Section/Local Public Health System, for an amount
not to exceed $36,508.00 for a period to begin September 1, 2008, and end August 31, 2009;
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing appropriations and estimated receipts by an
amount not to exceed $36,508.00 in the Grants Fund upon receipt of the grant;

4. Authorize anon-interest bearing inter-fund loan from the General Fund to the Grants Fund in the amount
of $10,000 for the interim financing of this grant pending contract execution to secure program continuation
from one grant funding period to the next.
DISCUSSION:
The Texas Department of State Health Services provides grant funds to local health departments across
the state to provide essential public health services. The City of Fort Worth Public Health Department's
Health Promotion & Education section will complete a service delivery plan through its FitFuture Fort
Worth initiative aimed at increasing awareness of the benefits of regular physical activity and proper
nutrition, as they apply to reducing the risk of developing or dying from some of the leading causes of death
and illness (i.e. cancer, high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease); to reduce overweight and obesity
in both children and adult populations; to assist the community in identifying risk behaviors that contribute to
the development or increase the burden of chronic diseases; and to continue fostering our Public Health
community partnerships by addressing these essential health functions, as defined by DSHS:
• Inform, educate and empower people about health status
• Mobilize community partnerships to identify and solve health problems
The funding period would begin September 1, 2008, and end August 31, 2009, for an amount not to exceed
$36,508.00.

In order to maximize benefit to the public, staff requests approval to waive recovery of indirect costs with
respect to this grant.
Finally, in previous years, execution of a grant contract and availability of funds has sometimes been
delayed. In order to prevent an interruption in funding or services if such a delay occurs again, staff
requests authorization for anon-interest bearing inter-fund loan from the General Fund to the Grants Fund
in the amount of $10,000.00 to provide interim financing of services during the transition period between
grants. Once the contract has been executed and grant funds are available, the inter-fund loan will be
repaid to the General Fund.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations,
receipt of the grant and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the
current operating budget, as appropriated, of the Grants Fund. Funds will be reimbursed by grantor after
expenditures are made. Upon execution of the grant contract, the interim inter-fund loan will be returned to
the General Fund.
