DISCUSSION:
Since 1973 the annual Mayfest, Inc., festival has been held in a portion of Trinity Park for the enjoyment of
the public and as a fundraiser for the community.
In 1994, the City entered into a license agreement with Mayfest, Inc., with an initial term of five-years and
two five-year renewal periods. On April 28, 2009, the City Council authorized execution of a new license
agreement(M&C C-23491)with Mayfest. As part of the agreement, Mayfest, Inc., pays the City a rental
amount equal to (20 percent) of the net operating profits from the Mayfest, Inc., event with such funds
being used to support programs of the Parks and Community Services Department(PACSD) and to pay
toward costs of equipment purchases and facility improvements. The City's percentage of the proceeds
totaled approximately $24,000.00 for Mayfest 2010.
In recognition of this longstanding cooperative relationship with the Fort Worth PACSD, Mayfest, Inc.,
wishes to provide an improvement in Trinity Park that will benefit the entire Fort Worth community. On
August 19, 2010, the Mayfest, Inc., Board of Directors approved a $70,000.00 disbursement to the
PACSD, consisting of$24,000.00 from the City's percentage of the net operating proceeds from
Mayfest,lnc., 2010 and an additional donation of$46,000.00 to be used for improvements in Trinity
Park. These funds will be leveraged with Gas Well Lease Funds of$20,970.25, for improvements at
Trinity Park, totaling $90,970.25.
It is anticipated that construction of these improvements will be complete by April 1, 2011.
