RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Ratify the application for and authorize acceptance of a grant and execution of a grant agreement in the amount of$47,500.00 with the Texas
Historical Commission,with a local match in the total amount of$47,500.00,to support the City of Fort Worth's Historic Resource Survey;

subject to receipt of grant, in an amount up to$95,000.00,for the purpose of funding Phases V&VI of the City-wide Historic Resources

DISCUSSION:
As a participating community in the Texas Historical Commission's(THC)Certified Local Government(CLG)program,the City of Fort Worth is
eligible for grant funding for preservation-related projects tied to the THC's Statewide Preservation Plan. Upon adoption of the Fort Worth Citywide
Historic Preservation Plan in July 2003, recommendations were made that all previously conducted historic resource surveys should be updated
and expanded.
In August 2017,the Texas Historical Commission undertook its four-year evaluation of the City of Fort Worth's Certified Local Government program
under Section 101 (a)(7)(C)of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966.That evaluation highlighted an item in the Certification Agreement
between the City of Fort Worth and the Texas Historical Commission,where it states that the CLG will maintain a system for the survey and
inventory of local historic properties that is coordinated with the statewide cultural resources survey process, with technical assistance provided
by the National Register Program office of the Texas Historical Commission's History Programs Division.In order to resolve this outstanding
issue,a proposal was developed that outlined the City's plan to undertake a multi-year survey update in phases,administered by staff and
undertaken by a preservation consultant.The proposal was deemed acceptable by the THC.
In 2019,the City completed Phases I and II of the update,completing a historic context statement for the City of Fort Worth during the period
between 1900-1945. In 2021,the City completed Phases III and IV of the update,completing a historic context statement for the City of Fort Worth
between 1840-1980;developing a comprehensive survey plan for Fort Worth;and developing an ArcGIS online mapping system and digital survey
collector tool for future survey efforts.The City then applied to the THC in the fall of 2021 for the next phase of the update.Staff was notified on
February 23,2022 that the City's grant application was successful and the full amount requested($47,500.00)was being awarded for Phases V
and VI of the update to the Historic Resource Survey in FY2022.This grant is a 1:1 matching grant;the City is also committing$47,500.00 to
Phase V-VI.The CLG Grant funds, in conjunction with the City's matching share,will be used to pay for a consultant to perform the next phases of
the historic resources survey update.The Texas Historical Commission administers the Texas CLG grant program utilizing federal funding it
receives from the U.S. Department of Interior, National Park Service(NPS) Historic Preservation Fund Program.
The City's matching funding will be provided from two sources.The first$20,000.00 will be transferred from the FY2022 Development Services
operating budget within the General Fund.The remaining$27,500.00 is already appropriated in the Central Arlington Heights Historic
Preservation project within the Stormwater Capital Projects Fund(project 102742).The mitigation funds from the Central Arlington Heights Historic
Preservation project are part of the mitigation of an adverse effect on an eligible National Register Historic District,and will be used for a range of
mitigation measures including,but not limited to, paying a consultant to advance the next phases of the historic resources survey update.
The objectives of the current phase of the overall update to the City's historic resource survey update are:
a. To survey the Terrell Heights local historic district and resurvey the Near Southeast National Register District;
b. To encode previously identified historic resources across Fort Worth into the online ArcGIS mapping system that was created in Phase IV;
c. To begin to address a key area(an inaccurate and out-of-date historic resource survey)identified in the 2017 four-year CLG review,which is
an essential component of the City's Certification Agreement with the THC;
d. To work towards the establishment of an accurate survey that is used regularly in virtually all land-use decisions involving historic resources;
and
e. To utilize the products from each phase as part of an ongoing education and awareness initiative.

FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
