purpose of funding improvements for the Oak 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

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.
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 capital budget, as
appropriated, in the Grants Capital Project State Fund, and certifies that funds are currently available
in 22 Oak Grove Park project within the 2022 Bond Program Fund and the Grants Capital Project
State Fund and in the Neighborhood Park Unit 2-27 and Neighborhood Park Unit 2-28 projects within
the PARD Dedication Fees Fund, and upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of
the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the Grants Capital Project State Fund
and in the PARD Dedication Fees Fund for the 22 Oak Grove Park project. The Park & Recreation
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 Park & Recreation Department has
the responsibility to validate the availability of funds. This is a reimbursement grant.
