Inc., for improvements to General Worth Square Park with a City contribution of$250,000.00 from gas
well revenues; and
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations by

The purpose of this M&C is to authorize the City Manager to enter into a License Agreement with
Downtown Fort Worth Initiatives, Inc., for improvements to General Worth Square Park with a City
contribution of$250,000.00 from gas well revenues and to adopt an appropriation ordinance.
General Worth Square Park is located at 801 Main Street and was acquired in 1980. The 1.53 acre
park is located immediately north of the Fort Worth Convention Center. In 2008, Downtown Fort
Worth Initiatives, Inc., approached the City and proposed the redevelopment of General Worth
Square Park to improve and enhance daily use of the park, encourage and support special events
and incorporate a tribute to President John F. Kennedy who gave his last public speech at this site on
November 22, 1963.
On December 7, 2008, a design charrette was held with a team of volunteer design professionals to
develop potential redesign schemes for the park. A Place-Making Workshop was facilitated by the
Project for Public Spaces on June 1, 2009. Workshop attendees included adjacent property owners
and key downtown stakeholders including special event organizers. one of the outcomes of these
meetings was a recommendation that efforts should be made to develop and complete interim
improvements to General Worth Square Park to accommodate the placement of the President John
F. Kennedy sculpture. The donation of the President John F. Kennedy sculpture and other
refurbishments will be addressed in a future M&C.
The License Agreement will allow Downtown Fort Worth Initiatives, Inc., and their designated design
engineers/architects, contractors and vendors access to the park throughout the term of the
Agreement. The Parks and Community Services Department will review and approve plans for design
and installation of improvements at the park.
At their June 24, 2009, meeting the Parks and Community Services Advisory Board concurred with
staffs recommendation to accept the donation of repairs, refurbishments and improvements to
General Worth Square Park and endorse the appropriation of$250,000.00 from the City-wide
undesignated park gas well funds.
