LOG NAME: 55FTW AIRPORT PROPERTY FENCING
SUBJECT:
Authorize Use of Mineral Lease Revenue in the Amount of $183,920.00 for Costs Associated with Fencing
to Secure Airport Property Previously Acquired through the Federal Aviation Administration's Part 150
Noise Program at Fort Worth Meacham International Airport and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance
(COUNCIL DISTRICT 2)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the use of revenue derived from mineral leases on City -owned airports in the amount of
$183,920.00 for cost associated with fencing to secure airport property previously acquired through the
Federal Aviation Administration's Part 150 Noise Program at Meacham International Airport; and
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Aviation Gas Lease Capital Project Fund, from available funds in the amount of $183,920.00 for the
fencing project.
DISCUSSION:
On April 6, 1993 (M&C G-10116), the City Council approved the adoption of the Federal Aviation
Regulation Part 150 Noise Study for Fort Worth Meacham International Airport (Airport). The Noise Study
program was purposed with determining the impacts of noise on private residences located within the
immediate proximity of the Runway Protection Zone located at the south end of Runway 17/35.
On September 10, 2002 (M&C G-13729), the City Council approved the acceptance of Federal Aviation
Administration grant funds for one of two phases to acquire property heavily impacted by aviation noise
activity and incorporate the area into the airport boundary for aviation reuse.
On August 24, 2004 (M&C G-14473), the City Council approved the acceptance of additional Federal
Aviation Administration grant funds for the second phase of property acquisition off the south end of
Runway 17/35.
Since the acquisition of properties, the area incorporated into the boundaries of the airport have remained
vacant in accordance with the Airport Layout Plan. Future plans show to extend Runway 17/35 to the
south which necessitates the need to keep the federally funded, acquired parcels vacant for future airport
use. The Aviation Department is seeking Council approval to authorize the use of revenue derived from
mineral leases for the purpose of securing the property with fencing and gates. The Airport has
continuously monitored the unsecured property and has surveilled various illegal activities including
dumping, prostitution, drug related activities, and discharging firearms. Securing the vacant property will
improve the overall security of the Airport and improve Public Protection in accordance with the Code of

Federal Regulations Title 14 Part 139. The Aviation Department is using a current Annual Agreement with
Cleburne Fencing to complete the project.
This project was not included in the Aviation Department's Five -Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for
fiscal year 2019-2023 as approved by City Council on September 18, 2018 and the Aviation Department is
seeking approval to add this capital project. The Park and Recreation Department previously maintained
the vacant property, providing the Airport the ability to monitor and patrol it. Due to costs associated with
maintenance, the Park and Recreation Department notified Aviation about a termination of services in late
fall 2018. The Airport is seeking approval to proceed with the fencing project in order to reduce the illegal
activities taking place on the property.
Fort Worth Meacham International Airport is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 2.
This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the
attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current capital budget, as appropriated, of
the Aviation Gas Lease Capital Project Fund.
