The Van Zandt Cottage ("Cottage"), located at 2900 Crestline Road was built in the 1850s. The Cottage is
the oldest home in Fort Worth still on its original foundation as a Registered Texas Historic Landmark. A
rich western heritage accompanies the Cottage.
Wth funding from the Van Zandt Cottage Trust Fund, a Restoration Plan was commissioned with Arthur
Weinman Architects. The results of this plan are a comprehensive internal and external examination of the
condition and history of the 19th century home. The report also includes the restoration work required,
condition photographs, detailed drawings and plans, a bibliography and pertinent reference documents.
The Restoration Plan was endorsed by the Parks and Community Services Advisory Board in 2005. Since
that time, Van Zandt Cottage Friends, Inc., (VZCF) have assisted staff with fundraising for the necessary
improvements to this Fort Worth historic landmark. A neighborhood small grant application was submitted
for the foundation repair.
On December 19, 2006, City Council approved M&C G-15548, "Approval of the Parks and Community
Services Department Small Capital Projects Plan for FY 2006-07", appropriating $25,000 from gas royalty
revenue funds for the Van Zandt Cottage Foundation Repair. The total project cost is $44,500 with the
remainder of funds ($19,500) coming from VZCF. After receiving confirmation of contractor payment, the
City will reimburse VZCF $25,000 for the work completed.

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Approve the Small Capital Projects Crew Work Plan for inclusion in the Parks and Community Services
Department's FY 2006-07 Capital Projects Work Plan; and
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations by
$741,400.00 in the Park Gas Lease Projects Fund from the Gas Well Royalty Revenues for various
renovation projects.
DISCUSSION:
Starting in 2005-2006 the City utilized gas revenues to fund a small capital projects work crew to complete
small projects (also funded by gas revenues) throughout the parks system. Generally these projects cost
less than $100,000 and are more cost effectively accomplished by PACs staff than through a construction
contract. The process calls for eligible projects to have been included in the Comprehensive Plan and
identified as a priority in the Park, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan. Other considerations include
the ability to realize economies through bulk purchasing, shipping discounts and maximized use of leased
construction equipment. Of course total funds available limits the total number of projects as can work
hours available for the crew.
A proposed work plan was presented to the Parks and Community Services Advisory Board at their
September 27, 2006 meeting. The Small Capital Projects Crew is expected to complete $741,400 in
improvements. All projects listed are to be funded through gas revenues and require appropriation of
funds as listed in this communication. The projects for FY 2006-07 are listed below.
