Russom Ranch Reservoir Site (Site), which is composed of approximately 11.86 acres, is owned by the City of Fort Worth Water Department and managed by the City of Fort Worth Parks and Community Logname: 80AAC Page 1 of 3 Services (PACS) Department. The Site was leased to the Blue Raider Athletic Association, Inc. (BRAA), from February 1961 to August 2010. The City of Fort Worth entered into an Agreement with the BRAA in February 1961 for the purpose of conducting public outdoor athletic activities and other programming. In 1998, the PACS assumed the contract management responsibility from the City's Water Department. The Agreement with BRAA expired by term in August of 2010. In August 2010, the City issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) soliciting qualifications from for - profit and non - profit agencies for the development, operation, management and programming of the Site currently identified as the Altamesa Athletic Complex. The RFQ was published in the Fort Worth Star - Telegram from August 11, 2010 through September 9, 2010. The YMCA was the sole respondent to the RFQ. The YMCA's qualifications were reviewed and approved by the selection committee. PACS Department entered into a Memorandum of Understanding on June 10, 2011 with the YMCA for the submission of its proposed plans for funding, development, management, operation and programming of the Site. The YMCA proposes using the fields for youth sports for children ages 3 to 17, which will include skills clinics, coaches' training, competitive leagues and tournaments. On March 22, 2012, the Parks and Community Services Advisory Board endorsed Staffs recommendation to enter into a lease Agreement with the YMCA for the future development, management, operation and programming of the Site. The initial term of the Agreement will be for 20 years with two automatic renewals of 10 years each, unless the YMCA elects not to renew. Revenue from the activities of the facility will be used by the YMCA to program, maintain and make additional improvements to the facilities with the approval of the Director of the PACS Department. Major terms of the Agreement include a total commitment of $1,700,000.00 to develop the Site, which includes $500,000.00 from the City and $1,200,000.00 from the YMCA for construction and design costs. The PACS Department will review and approve all plans for design and installation of improvements at the Site. All permanent improvements shall belong to the City upon expiration or termination of the Agreement. The proposed expenditure of the City funds complies with the City of Fort Worth's Financial Management Policy for the use of gas well lease revenues.
