There were six houses that occupied the block and were removed to create the park in 1999, shortly before the historic district was formed, The residences were an integral part of Fair°nnorrnt, and can be seen in historic aerial photos and fire insurance maps for '75 years prior to their demolition. The only evidence of the homes on site today is a couple rusted pipes that peals:through the soil. "Mernor°y, Fairmount Park" is a visual reference to the historic neighborhood fabric. The addresses of the demolished houses are demarcated along 5th and Henderson. Along Henderson, sculptural stepped tables are located were the steps and porches of the three houses once stood. It re-establishes a gathering space for neighbor's and visitors. Basalt gravel paths reveal the absence of walks that approached the houses. Tree canopies provide shade,where once broad porches protected residents and guests. The three trees provide different.color throughout the ,seasons to honor the individual character of the houses, once part of FairrrnorML Design / "0 w" rrJ1 m " Illustration of scale (above) City of Fort Worth, Texas Mayor and Council Communication COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 7/22/2014 - Ordinance No. 21341-07-2014 DATE: Tuesday, July 22, 2014 REFERENCE NO.: C-26336 LOG NAME: 20FAIRMOUNT PARK COMMUNITY ID PROJECT SUBJECT: Authorize.Acceptance of a Monetary Donation from Fairmount Neighborhood Association in the Amount of 10,000.00 for the Fairmount Park Community I D Public Art Project, Authorize an Artwork Commission Contract with Michael Barton Shaw d/b/a Bart Shaw Architect in the Amount of$63,500.00 for Public Art and Associated Infrastructure in Fairmount Park as Part of the Fairmount Park Community ID Public Art Project and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance (COUNCIL DISTRICT ) RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council: 1, Accept a monetary donation from Fairmount Neighborhood Association in the amount of 10,000.00 for the Fairmount Park Community ID Public Art Project; 2.

CID is an initiative of Fort Worth Public Art through which the City assists community groups in generating public art projects that are specific and meaningful to each of the selected neighborhoods. The Fairmount Neighborhood Association (Fairmount NA) applied for a CID project and proposed Fairmount Park as the site for a CID project, After a thorough review process, the Fort Worth Art Commission approved a CID review panel's recommendation to award a CID project to the Fairmount NA. During a planning meeting held on March 29, 2012, the Fairmount NA expressed a desire fora is - designed benches and tables that would be site within Fairmount Park. Funding for CID projects is typically set at $50,000.00; however, the Fairmount NA decided to donate $10,000.00 to the City to enable the Artist to fully realize the Fairmount NA's vision for the park. Because this project will be sited on a public park, the Parks and Community Services Department decided to allocate an additional $10,000.00 from gas well revenue proceeds, which will go towards typical park amenities such as ADA accessibility. Artist was selected through a proposal-based selection process and placed under a Design Agreement with the City for an amount not to exceed $5,500.00 to finalize a design, including a determination of final artwork dimensions and submission of a detailed project budget for fabrication, transportation and installation. On December 12, 2014, the Fort Worth Art Commission approved the final design for this project. The City's overall MBE goal for the Fort Worth Public Art program is 25 percent of the total capital project dollars expended on public art annually. This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 9. FISCAL INFORMATION I CERTIFICATION: The Financial Management Services Director certifies that funds are available in the current capital budget, as appropriated, from the Specially Funded Capital Projects Fund, and from the Park Gas Well Leases Fund.
