Grove Park project (City Project No. 104194); and
4. Amend the Fiscal Years 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Program.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of the Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to accept a grant in the amount of $1,500,000.00 from the Texas Parks & Wildlife
Department (TPWD) Urban Outdoor Grant Program, adopt appropriation ordinances to increase appropriations in the Oak Grove Park Phase
1 project, and amend the Fiscal Years 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
On June 24, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 6121-06-2025 authorizing the Park & Recreation Department (PARD) to apply for an
Urban Outdoor Recreation Grant from TPWD. The application was successful and on January 22, 2026, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission
approved the issuance of $1,500,000.00 in grant funding to the city to develop proposed improvements at Oak Grove Park, an approximately 68-
acre tract of land located at the corner of Oak Grove Road and Oak Grove Shelby Road, in southeast Fort Worth. Proposed improvements include
walking trails, pavilions, restrooms, parking lot and tree plantings. The Grant Repository Number is GRNT-APPL-0000000181.
Per the TPWD grant application structure, a one-to-one grant match is required. For the City's match, PARD will use $1,260,000.00 of 2022 Bond
Funds already appropriated for the development of Oak Grove Park project (City Project No. 104194), and $240,000.00 of PARD Dedication Fee
Funds to be appropriated by this M&C . This follows the City's fiscal policy regarding the use of bond funds.
This is the second TPWD Urban Outdoor Recreation Grant the city has been awarded for Oak Grove Park. On June 10, 2025, the City Council
authorized a Grant Agreement with TPWD for a $1,500,000.00 Urban Outdoor Recreation Grant (M&C 25-0483). Total project funding for Oak
Grove Park is $6,741,000.00

This is a reimbursement grant, and all grant funding is to be used for construction purposes only. Since no city salaries will be charged, indirect
cost recovery does not apply and is not reimbursable. The City of Fort Worth is solely responsible for any additional costs associated with project
administration, design, construction inspection, and materials testing.
This contract will be with a governmental entity, state agency, or public institution of higher education: Texas Parks & Wildlife Department. It does
not request approval of a contract with a private business entity.
PARD's CIP does not include potential grant awards. Additional funding is also required as the 2022 Bond funding allocated to this project is
expected to be set aside as matching funds for Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Urban Outdoor Recreation grants. The action in this M&C will
amend the FY2026-2030 CIP as approved in connection with Ordinance 27979-09-2025.
This project is included in the 2022 Bond Program. The City's Expendable Commercial Paper (ECP) (M&C 22-0607; Ordinance 25675-08-2022)
provides liquidity to support the appropriation. Available resources will be used to provide interim financing until debt is issued. Once debt
associated with the project is sold, bond proceeds will reimburse the interim financing source in accordance with the statement expressing official
Intent to reimburse that was adopted as part of the ordinance canvassing the bond election (Ordinance No. 25515-05-2022).
Oak Grove Park is in COUNCIL DISTRICT 8.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This contract will be with a governmental entity, state agency or public institution of higher education: Texas
Parks & Wildlife Department
