DISCUSSION:
On October 14, 2003, Parks and Community Services Department staff provided an Informal Report to City
Council regarding citizen requests for an off -leash dog parkin Fort Worth. At the City Council's request,
staff presented the issue to the Government and Neighborhood Relations Committee (GNRC) at the
November 4, 2003 meeting.
At the meeting, staff requested guidance regarding the establishment of a pilot program for a dog park in
order to test the local market for such parks. The GNRC recommends the development of a "pilot off -leash
dog park" in Gateway Park. Gateway Park was chosen based on the following criteria:
An off -leash dog park is included in the Gateway Park Master Plan.
Locating the off -leash park in a Large Recreation Park adheres to Dog Park Policy criteria.
Gateway Park is located adjacent to major freeways and thoroughfares.
Adequate parking and security lighting is already in existence.

The estimated annual cost for maintenance of the facility is $36,000. This funding is required in order to
provide for daily maintenance of the park, costs associated with irrigation, fertilizer, supplies, dumpster fees
and repairs. It is anticipated that the park will be completed during the spring of 2004. As a result, first year
costs for maintenance are estimated at $18,000, over asix-month period (March —September). Funds for
current year maintenance expenses will be included in a subsequent Mayor and Council Communication for
rollovers and designations. The annual maintenance costs of $36,000 will need to be appropriated for
future budgets.
The GNRC recommends the pilot program be implemented without charging a user fee. Once the pilot
program has provided sufficient data regarding usage, maintenance costs and fund raising capacity the
GNRC will schedule a discussion regarding the issues of future permanent dog parks and charging a user
fee.
Staff will work with the community and the park support groups to raise additional funds for maintenance of
the facility.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Finance Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the
attached supplemental appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current operating budget and
capital budget, as appropriated, of thePark Improvements Fund.
