Adopt Appropriation Ordinance Increasing Receipts and Appropriations in the Park Improvements Fund by
$27,165.00 to Fund Capital Expenses Related to the Fort Woof Dog Park (COUNCIL DISTRICT 4)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing receipts
and appropriations in the Park Improvements Fund in the amount of $27,165.00 from available funds for
the purpose of funding certain capital expenses related to the Fort Woof Dog Park.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication is to appropriate previously donated funds from
the Fort Worth Dog Park Association for Improvements at Fort Woof Dog Park. The Fort Woof Dog Park,
located in Gateway Park, opened in April 2004 upon approval from City Council (M &C G- 14176). The park
achieved national status in 2006 when it was named the Number 1 dog park in the nation by Dog Fancy
Magazine. Fort Woof is a popular destination for urban dwellers who desire to exercise their dogs in an
off -leash setting.
Since 2004 The Fort Worth Dog Park Association, a 501(c)(3) non - profit organization, has provided
support for improvements of the dog park through monetary donations. These ongoing contributions have
enabled the City of Fort Worth to continue to operate this special -use facility at no charge to the users.
Adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance will allow the Parks and Community Services
Department to provide additional lighting to expand the availability and use of the park after dark and to
purchase supplies and materials to maintain the park.
Fort Woof Dog Park is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 4 and serves the entire city.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director 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 Park Improvements Fund.
