DISCUSSION: The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to authorize the execution of a professional services agreement for consultant services related to the development of an Aspiration Plan for the Park & Recreation Department Under the professional services agreement, HR&A Advisors, Inc. (HR&A) will, through a three-phase scope of work, develop a strategy and roadmap for the next chapter of the City's parks and recreation stewardship, focusing on meeting the needs of communities and assets today and preparing for the growth and improvement of the system in the coming years. Furthermore, as the Fort Worth park system expands and responsibilities increase, there is a need to prioritize deliberate and strategic assessment of both short and long-term capital and operating requirements, as well as the organizational structure, partnerships, and culture necessary to support them. This priority aligns with the establishment of the Good Natured Program and the ongoing update of the ten-year Park, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan, presenting an opportunity to consolidate these efforts into a unified Aspirational Plan for the Park & Recreation Department and the overall park system. A summary of the work scope project phasing is below. Phase One: Understandina Parks & Recreation in Fort Worth Todav HR&A will prepare a report summarizing the findings of data analysis, interviews, and power mapping, addressing what is going well, where gaps are that should be addressed, how reality and perceptions of the City park and recreation functions align, and where risk factors or opportunities exist that can be exacerbated or amplified through future growth. Phase Two: Benchmarkina & Best Practices HR&A will prepare a presentation summarizing the findings of the benchmarking, identification of aspirational peers, and best practices research and interviews. Phase Three: Transition Plan for the Next Chaoter for Fort Worth Park & Recreation Functions HR&A's final deliverable will synthesize all findings and analysis from previous phases and provide a set of recommendations to guide decision - making, partnerships, and roles and responsibilities for years to come. M/WBE Office - A waiver of the goal for Business Equity subcontracting requirements was requested by the Department and approved by the DVIN, in accordance with the applicable Ordinance, because the purchase of goods or services is a source(s) where subcontracting or supplier opportunities are negligible. This planning effort will begin in February 2024 and is projected to be completed in July 2024. Funding is budgeted in the Park & Recreation Department rollup within the General Fund. This plan and programs are available in ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS. FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION: The Director of Finance certifies that funds are currently available in the General Fund of the Park & Recreation Department, as previously appropriated to support the execution of the Aspirational Plan agreement. Before an expenditure is incurred, the Park & Recreation Department is responsible for verifying the availability of funds.

The Mayor's recent announcement of the Good Natured initiative and the commitment of Fort Worth's city government to prioritize land preservation and the provision of space for recreation, stormwater management, and community is ambitious and laudable. We look forward to working together to chart the City's role in the next chapter of green space in Fort Worth. The Fort Worth park system today is a significant asset to the city and its residents, with only 14% of residents expressing dissatisfaction with the quality of parks, recreation, and community services programs/facilities and 65% of people satisfied or very satisfied with the maintenance of city parks.' But ranking only 881h on the Trust for Public Land ParkScore@ ranking, and with growth and expansion in assets and responsibility as Good Natured launches, it is important to be strategic and purposeful in planning for improvement and growth. As park systems grow and responsibilities expand, deliberate and strategic consideration of the near- and long-term capital and operating needs and the organizational structure, partnerships, and culture to support them must be prioritized.

We are also strategic organizational planners, bringing extensive experience working with public agencies, place - based organizations, park conservancies, economic development organizations, and others to establish the mission, goals, values, organizational structures, resources, and partnerships to meet their charge and maximize their impact. Scope of Work HR&A proposes the following three phase scope of work to provide a strategy and roadmap for the next chapter of the City's parks and recreation stewardship, focusing on meeting the needs of communities and assets today and preparing for the growth and improvement of the system in the coming years, including the crucial role of partnership in achieving City leadership's aims. Phase 1: Understanding Parks & Recreation in Fort Worth Today HR&A's effort will begin with an in-depth review of the parks and recreation organizational ecosystem today and the Park & Recreation Department's role in it, including data review and interviews with internal and partner stakeholders. Throughout this phase, we will seek to understand the "de jure" roles and responsibilities of the Fort Worth Park & Recreation Department and other City open space functions (its written mandate), and the "de facto" realities and perceptions (what is done in practice). It is where these are in tension or contradiction that focus areas for improvement can often live. Task 1. 1: Project Launch & Planning HR&A will hold a kickoff meeting with the client team to refine and confirm project schedule, goals, engagement approach, and deliverables. The meeting will also address roles, responsibilities, communication, and decision - making protocols to inform the collaboration between HR&A and the client team. Task 1.2: Document and Data Review Following the kickoff meeting, HR&A will submit a data request for historic and current information related to the development, management, operation, and outcomes of the Fort Worth park system. This request will likely include department capital and operating budgets, national rankings, user surveys, operational measures, outcome measures, organizational charts and staffing levels, and partnership contracts and agreements, among other data points and metrics. HR&A will rely on City staff to organize, compile, and share data in raw and editable formats. HR&A will review this information and data to assess the effectiveness and efficiency of the Park & Recreation Department and changes overtime in the operations and outcomes of the department. Task 1.3: City & Partner Interviews Over the course of Phase 1, HR&A will interview key staff and leaders in the parks and recreation system, including individual or small group meetings with staff, park asset management partners (e.g. the Zoo and Botanic Garden organizations, Streams & Valleys), and elected leadership. We will rely on the client team for introductions and scheduling of 8-10 small group meetings or individual interviews in this stage of work. We anticipate these interviews being a combination of in -person and virtual meetings. This will include conversations to understand the intensions, plans, and measures of success underlying the Good Natured Initiative. Through conversations with those involved in the initiative, we will explore the implications of the implementation of Good Natured and the creation of a new conservancy organization on Park & Recreation Department capital planning, operations planning, and partnership planning. In particular, we are eager to HR&A Advisors Inc. I Fort Work Parks Proposal 1 2 explore the differences between land preservation and park making, and how they can be coordinated and connected to serve communities in equitable and sustainable ways. These conversations will seek to surface areas where roles and capacities must expand to meet future needs, while also focusing on amplifying and celebrating existing practices that are meeting or exceeding expectations, and improving areas where better processes or outcomes can be found. Task 1.4: Organizational Power Mapping Based on the data review and interviews, HR&A will prepare a summary power map that profiles the responsibilities, issues, partnerships, funding landscapes, and other defining elements of all existing players in the parks, land preservation, and green space ecosystem in Fort Worth, and the relationships between them. The goal of this exercise is to understand and illustrate a complete picture of the parties and resources today inside and outside the City government, how the Park & Recreation Department relates to those parties, and where gaps or overlap in responsibility exist that could represent opportunities to improve as the system grows. Deliverable: The State of Parks & Recreation Today- HR&A will prepare a memorandum that summarizes the findings of Phase 1 data analysis, interviews, and power mapping, addressing what is going well, where gaps are that should be addressed, how reality and perceptions of the City's park and recreation functions align, and where risk factors or opportunities exist that can be exacerbated or amplified through future growth. Phase 2: Benchmarking & Best Practices To improve existing practices and outcomes and prepare for the growth in the scale and diversity of the Fort Worth park system, it is important to both understand how Fort Worth compares to other similarly positioned cities, and to learn from best in class park departments and ecosystems. Having worked with cities, park departments, and parks organizations across the country, HR&A will draw on existing experience and new research and interviews to bring lessons and best practices to inform the next chapter of parks leadership, partnership, and investment in Fort Worth. Task 2.1: Benchmarking Drawing on the findings of Phase 1 and existing benchmarking work by organizations such as the Trust for Public Land, HR&A will identify a peer set of cities and park systems, benchmarking the Fort Worth Park & Recreation Department against these cities on quantitative and qualitative topics such as: • Organizational structure and staffing • Organizational culture • Goals & vision • Capital resources and budgeting processes • Operations and maintenance resources and budgeting processes • Partnerships with public sector agencies and departments • Partnerships with civic, philanthropic, and nonprofit organizations • Park access and benefits Task 2.2: Identification of Aspirational Peers Informed by the bench marking work, HR&A will work with the client team to identify 3-5 'aspirationa I peers' for in- depth research and outreach. These park systems, departments, or partnerships will represent the types of structures and outcomes that Fort Worth seeks to pursue, both in terms of optimizing current practices and services and preparing for substantial growth in park, trail, and conservation opportunities in the coming years. HR&A Advisors Inc. I Fort Work Parks Proposal 1 3 Task 2.3: Best Practices Research and Interviews Through desktop research and interviews with leaders, staff, partners, and beneficiaries of these aspirational peers' park systems, HR&A will seek to glean best practices (and in some cases, cautionary tales) that leaders in Fort Worth can consider and apply. In case study and best practices research, never does one precedent or peer offer a blueprint for the context and complexity of a different city or problem. But understanding how peer cities have addressed similar challenges and opportunities and found strong results - What worked? What was tried and failed? What would leaders do differently today? - can provide deep insights into how Fort Worth can become and remain among the leading park departments and systems in the country. Gaining these insights requires direct conversations with leaders involved in such efforts and initiatives. We anticipate one topic of this research being a focus on organizations that have effectively managed the growth in park and conservation assets while delivering strong and consistent operation and maintenance. Deliverable: Benchmarking & Best Practices Presentation - HR&A will prepare a presentation summarizing the findings of the benchmarking and best practices tasks. We anticipate using this presentation in the workshop to kick off Task 4, described further below. Phase 3: Transition Plan for the Next Chapter for Fort Worth Park & Recreation Functions HR&A will prepare and document recommendations and action plans to guide the City of Fort Worth's park and recreation functions and partnerships as Good Natured is launched. Task 3.1: Transition Plan Documentation HR&A will prepare a draft transition plan that captures the recommendations for organizational strategy, leadership, resourcing, planning, operations, and partnership based on the needs of Fort Worth today and in the future, and lessons learned from best practices across the country. Deliverable: Transition Plan for Fort Worth Park & Recreation - HR&A's final deliverable will synthesize all findings and analysis from previous phases and provide a digestible set of recommendations to guide decision making, partnership, and roles and responsibilities in years to come. Staffing, Budget, & Schedule The two of us, Candace Damon and Aaron Abelson, will lead the HR&A team collaborating closely with you on this effort. Candace founded HR&A's parks practice and brings decades of experience working with and shaping the most acclaimed parks departments, projects, and partnerships. Aaron leads HR&A's Dallas office and brings local and national experience on park projects and a deep understanding of Fort Worth and the region, gleaned through diverse projects including leadership of the Panther Island Strategic Vision Update. We will be joined by qualified project management and analytical staff. HR&A Advisors Inc. I Fort Work Parks Proposal 1 4 Based on the scope above, we anticipate a project timeline of approximately 5-6 months. We understand the urgency of this effort and will work to accelerate project delivery as much as possible. Month 1: Understanding Parks & Recreation in Fort Worth Today 2: Benchmarking & Best Practices 3: Transition Plan for the Next Chapter for Fort Worth Park & Recreation Functions Meeting this timeline will require close collaboration and prompt action with and by the client team, including: • Compiling and preparing available data in preparation for project kickoff • Preparing the list of individual and group interviews for Phase 1 and, where possible, holding time in calendars proactively ahead of project launch • Participating in biweekly project management calls with the HR&A team, pulling other City team members or partners in when helpful or necessary • Providing prompt feedback on deliverables within one week of submission, including compiling and summarizing any and all feedback from client team members for transmission to HR&A • Facilitating communication with Conservancy or Parks Master Plan team members as needed to inform the services in this scope With HR&A, promptly selection the aspirational peers at the beginning of Task 2 We anticipate beginning this effort in mid- to late January 2024 and request 3 weeks' notice of project initiation to ensure staff availability. We will complete this scope of work for a fixed fee of $300,000, excluding necessary travel expenses, which will be reimbursed at cost. We will bill monthly, on a fixed basis of $50,000 per month for 6 months, plus expenses. Any additional requested scope (e.g. initial interviews in excess of the 8-10 budgeted) will be discussed with the client team and billed on a time and materials basis or accommodated through a budget update. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or comments on this proposal. We look forward to working with you on this important effort.

However, we will have no duty to defend the insured against any "suit" seeking damages for "bodily injury", "property damage" or "personal and advertising injury" to which this insurance does not apply. We may, at our discretion, investigate any "occurrence" or offense and settle any claim or "suit" that may result. But: (1) The amount we will pay for damages is limited as described in Section D. - Liability And Medical Expenses Limits Of Insurance; and (2) Our right and duty to defend ends when we have used up the applicable limit of insurance in the payment of judgments, settlements or medical expenses to which this insurance applies.

No person or organization is an insured with respect to the conduct of any current or past partnership, joint venture or limited liability company that is not shown as a Named Insured in the Declarations. D. LIABILITY AND MEDICAL EXPENSES LIMITS OF INSURANCE 1. The Most We Will Pay The Limits of Insurance shown in the Declarations and the rules below fix the most we will pay regardless of the number of: a. Insureds; b. Claims made or "suits" brought; or c. Persons or organizations making claims or bringing "suits". 2. Aggregate Limits The most we will pay for: a. Damages because of "bodily injury" and "property damage" included in the "products -completed operations hazard" is the Products -Completed Operations Aggregate Limit shown in the Declarations. b. Damages because of all other "bodily injury", "property damage" or "personal and advertising injury", including medical expenses, is the General Aggregate Limit shown in the Declarations. This General Aggregate Limit applies separately to each of your 'locations" owned by or rented to you. "Location" means premises involving the same or connecting lots, or premises whose connection is interrupted only by a street, roadway or right-of-way of a railroad. This General Aggregate limit does not apply to "property damage" to premises while rented to you or temporarily occupied by you with permission of the owner, arising out of fire, lightning or explosion. 3. Each Occurrence Limit Subject to 2.a. or 2.b above, whichever applies, the most we will pay for the sum of all damages because of all "bodily injury", "property damage" and medical expenses arising out of any one 'occurrence" is the Liability and Medical Expenses Limit shown in the Declarations. The most we will pay for all medical expenses because of "bodily injury" sustained by any one person is the Medical Expenses Limit shown in the Declarations. 4. Personal And Advertising Injury Limit Subject to 2.b. above, the most we will pay for the sum of all damages because of all "personal and advertising injury" sustained by any one person or organization is the Personal and Advertising Injury Limit shown in the Declarations. 5.

In the case of damage by fire, lightning or explosion, the Damage to Premises Rented To You Limit applies to all damage proximately caused by the same event, whether such damage results from fire, lightning or explosion or any combination of these. 6. How Limits Apply To Additional Insureds The most we will pay on behalf of a person or organization who is an additional insured under this Coverage Part is the lesser of: a. The limits of insurance specified in a written contract, written agreement or permit issued by a state or political subdivision; or b. The Limits of Insurance shown in the Declarations. Such amount shall be a part of and not in addition to the Limits of Insurance shown in the Declarations and described in this Section. Page 14 of 24 Policy Number 16SBAAB5505 Form SS 00 08 04 05 BUSINESS LIABILITY COVERAGE FORM If more than one limit of insurance under this policy and any endorsements attached thereto applies to any claim or "suit", the most we will pay under this policy and the endorsements is the single highest limit of liability of all coverages applicable to such claim or "suit". However, this paragraph does not apply to the Medical Expenses limit set forth in Paragraph 3. above. The Limits of Insurance of this Coverage Part apply separately to each consecutive annual period and to any remaining period of less than 12 months, starting with the beginning of the policy period shown in the Declarations, unless the policy period is extended after issuance for an additional period of less than 12 months. In that case, the additional period will be deemed part of the last preceding period for purposes of determining the Limits of Insurance. E. LIABILITY AND MEDICAL EXPENSES GENERAL CONDITIONS 1. Bankruptcy Bankruptcy or insolvency of the insured or of the insured's estate will not relieve us of our obligations under this Coverage Part. 2. Duties In The Event Of Occurrence, Offense, Claim Or Suit a. Notice Of Occurrence Or Offense You or any additional insured must see to it that we are notified as soon as practicable of an "occurrence" or an offense which may result in a claim. To the extent possible, notice should include: (1) How, when and where the "occurrence" or offense took place; (2) The names and addresses of any injured persons and witnesses; and (3) The nature and location of any injury or damage arising out of the "occurrence" or offense. b. Notice Of Claim If a claim is made or "suit" is brought against any insured, you or any additional insured must: (1) Immediately record the specifics of the claim or "suit" and the date received; and (2) Notify us as soon as practicable. You or any additional insured must see to it that we receive a written notice of the claim or "suit" as soon as practicable. (1) Immediately send us copies of any demands, notices, summonses or legal papers received in connection with the claim or "suit"; (2) Authorize us to obtain records and other information; (3) Cooperate with us in the investigation, settlement of the claim or defense against the "suit"; and (4) Assist us, upon our request, in the enforcement of any right against any person or organization that may be liable to the insured because of injury or damage to which this insurance may also apply. d. Obligations At The Insured's Own Cost No insured will, except at that insured's own cost, voluntarily make a payment, assume any obligation, or incur any expense, other than for first aid, without our consent. e. Additional Insured's Other Insurance If we cover a claim or "suit" under this Coverage Part that may also be covered by other insurance available to an additional insured, such additional insured must submit such claim or "suit" to the other insurer for defense and indemnity. However, this provision does not apply to the extent that you have agreed in a written contract, written agreement or permit that this insurance is primary and non-contributory with the additional insured's own insurance. f. Knowledge Of An Occurrence, Offense, Claim Or Suit Paragraphs a. and b. apply to you or to any additional insured only when such "occurrence", offense, claim or "suit" is known to: (1) You or any additional insured that is an individual; (2) Any partner, if you or an additional insured is a partnership; (3) Any manager, if you or an additional insured is a limited liability company; (4) Any "executive officer" or insurance manager, if you or an additional insured is a corporation; (5) Any trustee, if you or an additional insured is a trust; or c.

Financial Responsibility Laws a. When this policy is certified as proof of financial responsibility for the future under the provisions of any motor vehicle financial responsibility law, the insurance provided by the policy for "bodily injury" liability and "property damage" liability will comply with the provisions of the law to the extent of the coverage and limits of insurance required by that law. b. With respect to "mobile equipment" to which this insurance applies, we will provide any liability, uninsured motorists, underinsured motorists, no-fault or other coverage required by any motor vehicle law. We will provide the required limits for those coverages. 4. Legal Action Against Us No person or organization has a right under this Coverage Form: a. To join us as a party or otherwise bring us into a "suit" asking for damages from an insured; or b. To sue us on this Coverage Form unless all of its terms have been fully complied with. A person or organization may sue us to recover on an agreed settlement or on a final judgment against an insured; but we will not be liable for damages that are not payable under the terms of this insurance or that are in excess of the applicable limit of insurance. An agreed settlement means a settlement and release of liability signed by us, the insured and the claimant or the claimant's legal representative. 5. Separation Of Insureds Except with respect to the Limits of Insurance, and any rights or duties specifically assigned in this policy to the first Named Insured, this insurance applies: a. As if each Named Insured were the only Named Insured; and b. Separately to each insured against whom a claim is made or "suit" is brought. 6. Representations a. When You Accept This Policy (3) We have issued this policy in reliance upon your representations. b. Unintentional Failure To Disclose Hazards If unintentionally you should fail to disclose all hazards relating to the conduct of your business at the inception date of this Coverage Part, we shall not deny any coverage under this Coverage Part because of such failure. 7. Other Insurance If other valid and collectible insurance is available for a loss we cover under this Coverage Part, our obligations are limited as follows: a. Primary Insurance This insurance is primary except when b. below applies. If other insurance is also primary, we will share with all that other insurance by the method described in c. below. b. Excess Insurance This insurance is excess over any of the other insurance, whether primary, excess, contingent or on any other basis: (1) Your Work That is Fire, Extended Coverage, Builder's Risk, Installation Risk or similar coverage for "your work"; (2) Premises Rented To You That is fire, lightning or explosion insurance for premises rented to you or temporarily occupied by you with permission of the owner; (3) Tenant Liability That is insurance purchased by you to cover your liability as a tenant for "property damage" to premises rented to you or temporarily occupied by you with permission of the owner; (4) Aircraft, Auto Or Watercraft If the loss arises out of the maintenance or use of aircraft, "autos" or watercraft to the extent not subject to Exclusion g. of Section A. — Coverages.

Page 16 of 24 Policy Number 16SBAAB5505 Form SS 00 08 04 05 BUSINESS LIABILITY COVERAGE FORM (6) When You Are Added As An Additional Insured To Other Insurance That is other insurance available to you covering liability for damages arising out of the premises or operations, or products and completed operations, for which you have been added as an additional insured by that insurance; or (7) When You Add Others As An Additional Insured To This Insurance That is other insurance available to an additional insured. However, the following provisions apply to other insurance available to any person or organization who is an additional insured under this Coverage Part: (a) Primary Insurance When Required By Contract This insurance is primary if you have agreed in a written contract, written agreement or permit that this insurance be primary. If other insurance is also primary, we will share with all that other insurance by the method described in c. below. (b) Primary And Non -Contributory To Other Insurance When Required By Contract If you have agreed in a written contract, written agreement or permit that this insurance is primary and non-contributory with the additional insured's own insurance, this insurance is primary and we will not seek contribution from that other insurance. Paragraphs (a) and (b) do not apply to other insurance to which the additional insured has been added as an additional insured. When this insurance is excess, we will have no duty under this Coverage Part to defend the insured against any "suit" if any other insurer has a duty to defend the insured against that "suit". If no other insurer defends, we will undertake to do so, but we will be entitled to the insured's rights against all those other insurers. When this insurance is excess over other insurance, we will pay only our share of the amount of the loss, if any, that exceeds the sum of: (1) The total amount that all such other insurance would pay for the loss in the absence of this insurance; and (2) The total of all deductible and self - insured amounts under all that other insurance. We will share the remaining loss, if any, with any other insurance that is not described in this Excess Insurance provision and was not bought specifically to apply in excess of the Limits of Insurance shown in the Declarations of this Coverage Part. c. Method Of Sharing If all the other insurance permits contribution by equal shares, we will follow this method also. Under this approach, each insurer contributes equal amounts until it has paid its applicable limit of insurance or none of the loss remains, whichever comes first. If any of the other insurance does not permit contribution by equal shares, we will contribute by limits. Under this method, each insurer's share is based on the ratio of its applicable limit of insurance to the total applicable limits of insurance of all insurers. 8. Transfer Of Rights Of Recovery Against Others To Us a, Transfer Of Rights Of Recovery If the insured has rights to recover all or part of any payment, including Supplementary Payments, we have made under this Coverage Part, those rights are transferred to us. The insured must do nothing after loss to impair them. At our request, the insured will bring "suit" or transfer those rights to us and help us enforce them. This condition does not apply to Medical Expenses Coverage. b. Waiver Of Rights Of Recovery (Waiver Of Subrogation) If the insured has waived any rights of recovery against any person or organization for all or part of any payment, including Supplementary Payments, we have made under this Coverage Part, we also waive that right, provided the insured waived their rights of recovery against such person or organization in a contract, agreement or permit that was executed prior to the injury or damage.
