Authorize the acceptance of grant funds totaling $5,000.00 for the 2012 -2013 Take Me FishingT"' Program from the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation's Youth Boating and Fishing Initiative and the National Recreation and Park Association to provide recreational boating and fishing experiences to youth in Fort Worth; and 2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Grants Fund in the amount of $5,000.00, upon receipt of the grant. DISCUSSION: The Take Me FishingT" Program initiative supports local park and recreation agencies and youth service organizations who serve to reconnect kids with nature and engage kids ages 6 -15 in recreational boating and fishing. Through continued funding from the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation (RBFF), the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) is able to provide local park and recreation agencies with access to grant funding, resources, best practices, research and knowledge emphasizing the long -term health and wellness benefits achieved through boating and fishing. In July 2012, Parks and Community Services Department (PACS) staff was notified that PACS is a qualified grant recipient. PACS served as an "Anchor Agency" in 2007 to train other park and recreation agencies /organizations in fishing, boating, and aquatic stewardship best practices. PACS continued to receive this grant each year through 2011. The grant will provide funding to support angler and water conservation education during the 2013 Summer Day Camp Program. An eight -week education program will be followed by an essay contest whereby winners will visit local fishing hatcheries and surrounding lakes. Funding will also provide angler education at family fishing events, youth fishing tournaments, and large events such as HIKIDS Back in School Celebration and Greenbriar Great Outdoors. Funding will also allow the purchase of equipment to outfit the education trailer, which was purchased in 2009 with prior grant funds. Efforts will serve to build and sustain programs and opportunities to engage young people and their families in recreational fishing and boating. These efforts will augment public awareness and appreciation for the need of protecting, conserving, and restoring the nation's aquatic resources. There are no matching requirements for the grant.
