DISCUSSION:
In June 2011, Chesapeake Operating, Inc., contacted the Parks and Community Services Department
requesting a list of park and community center improvement projects in southeast Fort Worth. In
requesting the list, Chesapeake's representative explained that, because the company's natural gas
production has been widespread throughout the City, the company desired to provide funds for
improvements at two community centers that serve the residents of southeast Fort Worth.
At Highland Hills Community Center, this funding will underwrite improvements to the fitness facility, which
will offer equipment such as treadmills, weight benches, and dumbbells. Recognition of the donation will
include a press release and grand re- opening ceremony for the fitness facility.
At Sycamore Community Center, the funds will be used to provide a new scoreboard for the gym.
Donation recognition will include placing Chesapeake Energy's name and logo on the scoreboard and
holding an official switching on ceremony at the start of the winter Youth Athletics Program in January
2012.
On October 26, 2011, the Parks and Community Services Advisory Board endorsed staffs
recommendation to the City Council to accept this donation.
