LOG NAME: 80GOOD FOR YOU HEALTHY HUB
SUBJECT
(CD 11) Authorize Acceptance of a Grant Award from Texas Health Community Hope in the Amount of $4,800.00 to Support the Good for You
Healthy Hub Program at Eugene McCray Community Center and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize acceptance of a grant award from Texas Health Community Hope in an amount of $4,800.00 to support the Good for You Healthy
Hub program at Eugene McCray Community Center; and
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriation in the Grants Operating Other Fund, subject to
receipt of the grant, in an amount of $4,800.00 to purchase nutrition education services and supplies for Eugene McCray Community Center.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication is to authorize the acceptance of a grant award from Texas Health Community Hope in the
amount of $4,800.00 to support the Good for You Healthy Hub program at Eugene McCray Community Center. Staff at Texas Health Community
Hope reached out to indicate the City has been awarded a grant to provide nutrition education services and supplies to support the Healthy Hub
program. Services include nutrition workshops, cooking demonstrations, produce bins, mobile shelving, carts, and shelf -stable items. There was
no application process because the communication came directly from Texas Health Community Hope. There is no grant application repository
number, as the Park & Recreation Department did not apply for these funds. Because no City salaries will be charged, indirect cost recovery does
not apply.
The work of Texas Health Community Hope is guided by evidence -based practices; and together, with the support of partners throughout the
community, they work to create an environment that supports health and well-being. Studies have shown that access to healthy food helps create
healthy habits and supports communities in food deserts. Texas Health Community Hope is committed to delivering support through program and
services that help lead to measurable, sustainable community improvements. The organization serves as a catalyst to transform lives by investing
in the vision of a healthier future for our communities. Their core belief is "where you live shouldn't play a major role in your health and well-being."
Texas Health Community Hope works to proactively address health disparities and the social and environmental conditions that affect overall
health through innovative programs, investments, and collaborations to make a difference in the community. Eugene McCray Community Center
will receive $4,800.00 to cover the cost of the program.
This program serves COUNCIL DISTRICT 11.

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. In 2023, the City completed Phases V-VI of the update, which surveyed the Terrell Heights local historic
district and resurveyed the near Southeast National Register District, and encoded previously identified historic resources across Fort Worth into
the online ArcGIS mapping system that was created in Phase IV. The City applied and received funding for Phase VI in 2024 to survey 10 of the
14 local historic districts. This project is on track to be completed in 2026.
The City now intends to apply to the THC for the next phase of the update which identifies Historic Carver Heights as the next district for resurvey.
Staff is requesting $40,000 in grant funding for the next phase for a project. This grant is a 1:1 matching grant; therefore, the City is also committing
an amount up to $40,000.00 for a project total amount of $80,000.00 for Phase VIII. 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, if awarded, is already appropriated in the Central Arlington Heights Historic Preservation project within the
Stormwater Capital Projects Fund (City Project No. 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. Survey the Historic Carver Heights Historic District which has not had updated survey data since 2005;
b. 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;
c. To work towards the establishment of an accurate survey that is used regularly in virtually all land -use decisions involving historic resources;
and
d. To utilize the products from each phase as part of an ongoing education and awareness initiative.
Indirect costs are not allowable. The Grant Application Repository number is GRNT-APPL-0000000169.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds
will be available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, in the Grants Operating Federal Fund. The Development Services Department
(and Financial Management Services) will be responsible for the collection and deposit of funds due to the City. Prior to an expenditure being
incurred, the Development Services Department has the responsibility to validate the availability of funds. This is a reimbursement grant.
