From: Woolsey, Mark [mailto:Mark.Woolseyafortworthgov o g] Sent: Monday, April 26, 2010 4:06 PM To: Jennifer Gould Subject: Twin Mills Maintenance Agreement Jennifer, As a follow up to our phone conversation today, the City of Fort Worth is evaluating its options with the maintenance agreements for park maintenance. In light of the budget austerity the City is currently experiencing, we find ourselves in the position where the proposed funding level afforded the Homeowner's Association of Twin Mills Farms, Inc., be held at existing levels. We had calculated and anticipated an increase for maintenance services to the Twin Mills Park at $24,193.00, however, that will now be held at $19,883.00/year. Therefore, I am recommending a page change to the pending agreement on page 2, paragraph 2.04(c), that will strike the amount of annual payment: "For the period October 1, 2009 through September 30, 2010: $24,193.00", and replace it with "For the period October 1, 2009 through September 30, 2010: $19,883.00". Using this method will keep all dates of payment clear and the agreement that Mr. Gilliland has signed can be used without further need to rewrite and get his signature again. All other information in the agreement will remain unchanged. Per the agreement, the HOA will be notified in writing the amount of approved funding following adoption of the annual City Budget by the Fort Worth City Council. This will be the mechanism for informing the HOA of any allowable increases, should the City's budget situation improve. If you are in agreement with the recommendation outlined above, please respond to this email to provide documentation of our actions. A copy of this email will be attached to the signed agreement. I appreciate your consideration and understanding of this change. Should you have any questions, let me know.
