SUBJECT:
Authorize Acceptance of a Grant in the Amount of$4,000.00 from Tarrant County College for the Fire
Department, Educational and Support Services Division and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance (ALL
COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the acceptance of a grant in the amount of$4,000.00 from Tarrant County College; and
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Special Trust Fund, Texas State Technical Institute Firefighter Apprenticeship Program in the amount of

DISCUSSION:
The United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training provides funds for local
apprenticeship training and on-the-job programs.
In Texas, the Firefighter Apprenticeship Program is funded through the Texas Higher Education
Coordinating Board and is administered locally by Tarrant County College. The intent of the program is to
teach a set of standardized skills to firefighters across the county. The Fire Department is an authorized
apprenticeship training facility and, therefore, part of the standard training that Fort Worth provides its
recruits and allows the Department to receive these funds.
Funding is based on the number of enrollees in the program and contact hours received by each
enrollee. Approved expenditures of apprenticeship funds include instructors' salaries, instructional
materials/supplies, instructional equipment, rental, office supplies, postage and travel. The Fire
Department will use these funds mainly to purchase instructional equipment for use in delivering training
programs.
The Fire Department enrolls all newly trained firefighters in the three-year program after their graduation
from the Fire Department Training Academy. Each participant is required to complete a written lesson
and become proficient in a particular firefighting skill each month of the three-year lesson cycle. The
lessons and skills are taught by each fire station officer and each participant is evaluated every six months
by Training Academy staff.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:

and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current operating
