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. Fort Worth's first and only Preservation Plan was adopted in 2003, along with a historic context and list of goals. Since the adoption of the original plan, the City and community have achieved over 95\% of the original goals set out for its Preservation Program. The City is now at a crucial point, as it must chart a course for preservation over the next 10-15 years http://apps.cfwnet.org/council_packet/mc_review.asp?ID=33693&councildate=9/16/2025 9/25/2025 M&C Review Page 2 of 3 in response to massive population growth and development pressure within the inner core of Fort Worth. The City has documented the need for this update in annual CLG reports as a goal for the past two years. In the 2022 CLG four-year review, the THC recommended that the City continue applying for CLG grants for preservation planning projects and "develop a plan outlining short and long term goals for how it will actively pursue designations; how it will ensure, to the maximum extent possible, public education and awareness in the Preservation Program; a rough timeline of when these improvements will be implemented; and who will be implementing these improvements (i.e. staff, volunteers, or a consultant). This plan may be a component of a citywide Preservation Plan or Comprehensive Plan." The City is dedicated to adhering to this recommendation and has made a concerted effort to apply for CLG grants to produce a City-wide historic context, survey plan, and several phases of the historic resources survey update. The new data from the survey updates and contexts have already shown that a more thorough Preservation Plan with new goals is crucial to managing growth and development pressures within historic and culturally significant areas of Fort Worth, focusing on protecting a diverse array of neighborhoods. The City applied to the Texas Historical Commission in the fall of 2024 for the City of Fort Worth's Historic Preservation Plan Update grant. Staff was notified via email on February 03, 2025, that the City's grant application was successful and the full amount requested ($37,500.00) was being awarded. This grant is a 1:1 matching grant; the City is also committing $37,500.00 to the grant project. 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 preservation plan 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 three sources. The first $20,000.00 is available in grant project (City Project No. 102742) Fort Worth Historic Resources Survey within the Grants Operating Federal Fund. These funds were transferred to the grant project from the Development Services Department General Fund budget per Mayor & Council Communication (M&C) 24-0835 in Fiscal Year 2024 for future phases of the Fort Worth Historic Resources Survey grant. The Development Services Department has determined these funds would be better utilized as a match on the City of Fort Worth's Historic Preservation Plan Update grant. The second $9,035.89 will be transferred from special operating project (City Project No.S00084) Preservation Plan within the Special Projects Fund. These funds were donated prior to and for the purpose of the first preservation plan which was adopted in 2003. The balance remaining will be used for this new preservation plan. The remaining $8,464.11 will be transferred from grant project (City Project No. 102742) Fort Worth Historic Resources Survey within the Stormwater Capital Projects Fund. These funds were transferred to the grant project from the Stormwater Utility Fund per M&C 20-0957 in Fiscal Year 2021 for phases of the Fort Worth Historic Resources Survey grant. These 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 Development Services Department has determined that a portion of these funds could be utilized as a match on the City of Fort Worth's Historic Preservation Plan Update grant. The objectives of the Preservation Plan Update are: a. To create a community -focused strategic update of the Preservation Plan that creates new goals and objectives to be achieved over the next 10-15 years; b. To create an accessible and educational document that provides a comprehensive framework for preservation programming throughout Fort Worth; c. To begin to address a key area (an over 20-year out-of-date preservation plan) identified in the 2022 four-year CLG review, which is an essential component of the City's Certification Agreement with the THC; and d. To utilize the product as part of an ongoing education and awareness initiative. Indirect costs do not apply under this agreement. The Grants Application Repository Number is G RNT-APPL-0000000090. http://apps.cfwnet.org/council_packet/mc_review.asp?ID=33693&councildate=9/16/2025 9/25/2025 M&C Review Page 3 of 3 FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinances, funds will be available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, in the Grants Operating Federal Fund.
