Over the past several years,the City has been acquiring properties in the Lakeland subdivision as they have become available.As the City has acquired the properties,they have been integrated into the Fort Worth Nature Center and Refuge as endorsed in the Nature Center Master Plan approved by City Council on June 17,2003 in Mayor and Council Communication (M&C)G-13998.The City has acquired fourteen of the privately- owned properties in the area to date. Staff has recently identified additional properties in the Lakeland Addition that are for sale.These properties are improved residential lots. Integration of these properties is essential for the future development of the Fort Worth Nature Center and Refuge.The properties are further described as follows: Owner Legal Description Purchase Closing TotalPrice Costs Thomas Lot 9, Block 6, Lakeland Addition, 8517 Hernandez Shelby Lane, Fort Worth,Texas 76135 $170,000.00$10,000.00$180,000.00 emon Gene Lot 8, Block 2, Lakeland Addition,8528 $220,000.00$10,000.00$230,000.00 Stephens Marks Lane, Fort Worth,Texas 76135 In order to advance the Fort Worth Nature Center Master Plan,this purchase will be paid for from Park Dedication Fees interest funds. Upon the leasing of the minerals contained within the Fort Worth Nature Center property and distribution pursuant to the current Financial Management Policy,the funds will be replenished to the Park Dedication Fees Fund. If mineral lease funds do not materialize,the expense will remain in the Park Dedication Fees Fund. An independent appraisal was obtained to establish the fair market value of these properties.The owners have agreed to sell the properties and improvements and have signed the City's Sale and Purchase contract in the amounts of$170,000.00 for 8517 Shelby Lane and$220,000.00 for 8528 Marks Lane.The real estate taxes will be pro-rated with the sellers responsible for taxes due up to the closing date.The City will pay closing costs up to$20,000.00.There will be no assistance of relocation allowance or moving costs to the sellers as these are voluntary sales. Funding for this project was not included in the Fiscal Years(FY)2022-2026 Capital Improvement Program due to the pending status of these properties.The action in this M&C will amend the FY2022-2026 Capital Improvement Program as approved in connection with Ordinance No. 25073-09-2021. Upon City Council approval,staff will proceed with acquiring the fee simple interests. Upon fee simple acquisition,structures will be scheduled for demolition through the Park and Recreation Department. These properties are located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 7. A Form 1295 is not required because:This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity. FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Director of Finance certifies that funds are currently available in the Unspecified-All Funds project within the PARD Dedication Fees Fund and upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance,funds will be available in the PARD Dedication Fees Fund for the PDFI-Park Improvement programmable project to support the approval of the above recommendations and land acquisitions.Prior to an expenditure being incurred,the Park&Recreation Department has the responsibility of verifying the availability of funds.
