All property is in good condition, while considering the individual remarks below:
Description Type Number
Toilets. Concrete block Vault two
Both these toilets remain in use, and in satisfactorily maintained condition.
Well House concrete block one facility

Well Casing pipe 224 linear feet, 4.5"
Water pump submerged one, 1.25" discharge
Motor electric one, 2 HP
Pressure tank steel one, 120 gallon
The original water well on the lease area is not in use. In 1997, at the Corps'
request to comply with the our ERGO environmental compliance program, the well
was taken out of service. This was done in accord with Texas Natural Resource
Conservation Commission regulations. Most of the above components were
removed and disposed of at that time, although the concrete block building
remains.
Water line galvanized 2,850 linear feet @1.25"
Water line galvanized 300 linear feet @ 0.75'
Water lines from the above well facility are buried and may not be inspected
directly. The original lines have been tied into the current supply and distribution
system from the golf course. They are in use and in satisfactory condition.
Fountains concrete 5
Spigots self-closing 10
There are currently twelve fountains on the lease area. Only two of these are the
original concrete fountains. Of the ten on the golf course, several are at the
original locations, but have been upgraded.
Picnic tables, and concrete 22
benches, on concrete 44
slab concrete 22
Many table facilities have been replaced over the years. Currently there are ten
of the original concrete tables, with twenty benches, still remaining on the lease
area. There are thirty-four tables total (ten original, twenty-four replacement) in the
park, so ten slabs and tables are gone.
Cookers concrete horseshoe 22 @w/ 2'6" opening
There are no remaining concrete cookers. All nineteen cookers in the park are
metal cookers installed by the city.

Description Type Number
Receptacles, trash metal 22
There are at this time twenty-three trash receptacles in just the park area, with
additional receptacles on the golf course.
Roads, Corps gravel 1.9 miles, 20" width
Roads, Tarrant County paved asphalt 2.5 miles, 20' width
Parking space gravel 1,900 sq. yd.
All current roads within the lease area are paved, there are no remaining gravel
roads or parking. At this time, Lakeside Drive and Winscott Road comprise
approximately 2.2 miles of through, public roadway, originally outgranted to Tarrant
County but currently maintained by the City of Fort Worth. Also on the lease area
are approximately 2.0 miles of paved loops and park access road. There is
approximately 18,000 square yards of paved parking space. In consideration of
these current conditions, I would estimate that the original roadway and parking
areas are in use, and have been maintained.

AUTHORIZE LEASE AGREEMENT WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE ARMY FOR
PECAN VALLEY - LONGHORN PARK
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a 25-year lease with the
Secretary of the Army for public park and recreational purposes at Pecan Valley - Longhorn Park.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Fort Worth entered into a license agreement in 1962 with the U. S. Army Corps of
Engineers to operate Pecan Valley Park. The license agreement allowed the City to operate the
property as a public park and for recreational purposes. The agreement was for 50 years, terminating
July 31, 2012.
On June 23, 1998 (M&C C-16850), the City Council authorized the City Manager to release
approximately 50 acres from the Corps of Engineers license agreement. The released property was
located due east of the property developed and maintained as Pecan Valley Golf Course - River
Course. The Parks and Community Services Department had held the subject property as reserved
and unprogrammed open space. The release of this portion of the license agreement allowed the
Corps of Engineers to advertise and consider the sale of this federally owned property.
To ensure clear title may be provided by the Corps of Engineers on the released property, the Corps of
Engineers has proposed the termination of the original license agreement and execution of a new 25-
year lease. The base terms of the lease agreement remain the same as the original agreement and the
new termination date will be March 30, 2024. The net effect is the addition of 12 years to the
termination date.
On March 23, 1999, the Parks and Community Services Advisory Board voted to concur with staffs
recommendation to the City Council to enter into a 25-year lease with the Secretary of the Army for
public park and recreational purposes at Pecan Valley - Longhorn Park.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 3 and the City of Benbrook.
