The U.S. Congress appropriated $285,000 through the VA -HUD -Independent Agencies Appropriations Act of FY 2005 for the Trinity River Vision urban waterfront project. The City of Fort Worth seeks to use the $285,000 for currently scheduled land acquisition. The City of Fort Worth is working in cooperation with the Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD), U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, Streams and Valleys, Inc.. and Tarrant County to strengthen the relationship between downtown Fort Worth and the Trinity River, one of our greatest assets. In 2003, an economic and feasibility study determined the proposed urban waterfront project to be economically and financially feasible. In 2004, a detailed conceptual plan was completed. The proposed urban waterfront will transform the central city segment of the Trinity River, which is adjacent to downtown Fort Worth, and serve as an impetus for the redevelopment of underutilized and obsolete industrial urban land. The governing bodies for the above organizations have each endorsed the urban waterfront development. The City of Fort Worth will administer the grant on a pass -through basis with the TRWD as the sub - grantee. Please list the TRWD as the sub -grantee in the ensuing grant agreement. If you require further information, please contact Jackie McCarthy at 817-392-7942, or jackie.mccarthvCa)_fortworth oq v.org. Thank you for your consideration.

City of Fort Worth, Texas Trinity River Vision Urban Waterfront Project 8-09-SP-Mol18 Grant Amount $285,000 The City of Fort Worth seeks $285,000 in HUD/EDI grant funds for the continued development of the Trinity River Vision Urban Waterfront project described below. Proposed improvements: The TRV Urban Waterfront project includes modifications to the existing system of levees and channels that would enhance flood protection, restore natural components of the river system, facilitate urban revitalization and provide ecosystem improvements and restoration within an area bounded by the Historic Stockyards and Near Northside neighborhoods to the north, Samuels Avenue neighborhood to the east, Heritage Park and Downtown to the south and the cultural district to the west (see attached map.) The project alters the course of the Trinity River adjacent to downtown. The bypass channel will provide flood protection for over 850 acres north of Downtown and provide flood protection that will allow the community to remove the levees, reconnect with the river and make the area more attractive for development. An independent economic analysis of the Trinity River Vision Urban waterfront area indicates that it has the potential to attract over 101000 households and an additional 3,000,000 square feet of mixed use commercial space, resulting in positive economic benefits over the next 50 years. The project will create 16,000 new jobs over the life of the project and will provide 600 construction jobs in each year of construction. The project has a completed environmental impact statement and record of decision and is in the final design and construction phases. The total project cost is estimated to be $880 million with approximately 50% coming from the local partners who include the Tarrant Regional Water District, Tarrant County, Streams and Valleys, Inc., and the City of Fort Worth. During the appropriations process, the City was awarded this $285,000 grant to put toward property acquisition and design of the project.

Authorize the City Manager to execute a Grant Agreement with the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development upon award of the grant; 3.

The grant (13-09—SP—TX-0118), funded by HUD Appropriations Act, 2009 (POLO 111-8), specifies $285,000.00 for construction of the Trinity River Vision project. The grant is proposed for land acquisition to facilitate the development of the Trinity River Vision Central City project. On June 3, 2003, the City Council adopted the Trinity River Vision Master Plan as a guide for future development along the Trinity River and its major tributaries. Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD), in cooperation with Streams and Valleys, Inc., the United States Army Corps of Engineers and the City of Fort Worth, led the effort to prepare the master plan. The project will alter the flow of the Trinity River at the confluence of the Clear and West Forks near Downtown. The purpose of this project is to reduce central city flooding thn;ats. The proposed improvements will also control the flow of the Trinity River so as to allow greater public access to the river and to create an urban waterfront. The City Council, the Tarrant County Commissioners Court, the TRWD board and Streams and Valleys, Inc., have endorsed the urban waterfront concept. The Fiscal Year 2009 HUD EDI grant does not have a local matching requirement. The City of Fort Worth will administer the grant on a pass —through basis with the TRWD as the sub grantee. This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICTS 2 and 9 and benefits the entire City. k_W:uow UMMMM : W► MMMMMM The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations, receipt of the grant and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, of the Grants Fund. �1 Qsm Sol 14111 i i Chu i� 11 1. : • J 1 Id 1 1.1 ► • 1 11 1.• . i 1 111 1,1 CIERTIFICA TIO♦ Officejubmitted for Cily Manager's •• Costa (8476) RandleMarwood • i conto-ctj Jackie McCarthy •, U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT WASfi[NGTON, D.C. 20410-1000 OFFICE OF COMMUNITY PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT January 8, 2010 Mr. Fernando Costa Assistant City Manager City of Fort Worth 1000 Throckmorton Street Fort Worth, TX 76102 Dear Mr. Costa: I am returning a signed copy of your grant agreement and the HUD 1044 for your records.

The U.S. Congress appropriated $285,000 through the VA -HUD -Independent Agencies Appropriations Act of FY 2005 for the Trinity River Vision urban waterfront project. The City of Fort Worth seeks to use the $285,000 for currently scheduled land acquisition. The City of Fort Worth is working in cooperation with the Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD), U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, Streams and Valleys, Inc., and Tarrant County to strengthen the relationship between downtown Fort Worth and the Trinity River, one of our greatest assets. In 2003, an economic and feasibility study determined the proposed urban waterfront project to be economically and financially feasible. In 2004, a detailed conceptual plan was completed. The proposed urban waterfront will transform the central city segment of the Trinity River, which is adjacent to downtown Fort Worth, and serve as an impetus for the redevelopment of underutilized and obsolete industrial urban land. The governing bodies for the above organizations have each endorsed the urban waterfront development. The City of Fort Worth will administer the grant on a pass -through basis with the TRWD as the sub - grantee. Please list the TRWD as the sub -grantee in the ensuing grant agreement. If you require further information, please contact Jackie McCarthy at 817-392-7942, or Jackie mccarthfortworthgov.orq. Thank you for your consideration.

City of Fort Worth, Texas Trinity River Vision Urban Waterfront Project M9-SPJX-0118 Grant Amount $285,000 The City of Fort Worth seeks $285,000 in HUDlEDI grant funds for the continued development of the Trinity River Vision Urban Waterfront project described below. Proposed improvements: The TRV Urban Waterfront project includes modifications to the existing system of levees and channels that would enhance flood protection, restore natural components of the river system, facilitate urban revitalization and provide ecosystem improvements and restoration within an area bounded by the Historic Stockyards and Near Northside neighborhoods to the north, Samuels Avenue neighborhood to the east, Heritage Park and Downtown to the south and the cultural district to the west (see attached map.) The project alters the course of the Trinity River adjacent to downtown. The bypass channel will provide flood protection for over 850 acres north of Downtown and provide flood protection that will allow the community to remove the levees, reconnect with the river and make the area more attractive for development. An independent economic analysis of the Trinity River Vision Urban waterfront area indicates that it has the potential to attract over 10,000 households and an additional 3,000,000 square feet of mixed use commercial space, resulting in positive economic benefits over the next 50 years. The project will create 16,000 new jobs over the life of the project and will provide 600 construction jobs in each year of construction. The project has a completed environmental impact statement and record of decision and is in the final design and construction phases. The total project cost is estimated to be $880 million with approximately 50% coming from the local partners who include the Tarrant Regional Water District, Tarrant County, Streams and Valleys, Inc., and the City of Fort Worth. During the appropriations process, the City was awarded this $285,000 grant to put toward property acquisition and design of the project.

DISCUSSION: During the Fiscal Year 2009 federal appropriations process, the City received an Economic Development Initiative (EDI) Special Project grant from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in the amount of $285,000.00. The grant (13-09-SP-TX-0118), funded by HUD Appropriations Act, 1009 (P.L. I I 1-8), specifies $285,000.00 for construction of the Trinity River Vision project. The grant is proposed for land acquisition to facilitate the development of the Trinity River Vision Central City project. On tune 3, 2003, the City Council adopted the Trinity River Vision Master Plan as a guide for future development along the Trinity River and its major tributaries. Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD), in cooperation with Streams and Valleys, Inc., the United States Army Corps of Engineers and the City of Fort Worth, led the effort to prepare the master plan. The project will alter the flow of the Trinity River at the confluence of the Clear and West Forks near Downtown. The purpose of this project is to reduce central city flooding threats. The proposed improvements will also control the flow of the Trinity River so as to allow greater public access to the river and to create an urban waterfront. The City Council, the Tarrant County Commissioners Court, the TRWD board and Streams and Valleys, Inc., have endorsed the urban waterfront concept. The Fiscal Year 2009 HUD EDI grant does not have a local matching requirement. The City of Fort Worth will administer the grant on a pass —through basis with the TRWD as the sub grantee, This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICTS 2 and 9 and benefits the entire City. • • •recommendations, rhe Financial Management Services D• attached •ordinance,. be available urrent operating budget, as appropriated7 of the Grants Fund.
