DISCUSS{ON
The Parks and Community Services Department (PACSD) is preparing a grant application to the Texas
Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) to obtain matching funds for the development of Far North
Community Park. The proposed community park is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 4
The 1998 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) allocated $750,000 for the acquisition of the Far North
Community Park and $200,000 for development On July 27, 1999, the City Council authorized (M&C
L-12563), the acquisition of a 54-acre tract in far north Fort Worth located at the intersection of Shiver
Road and Beach Street and adjacent to a proposed Keller Independent School District school site
The need for this community park was identified in the 1998 Park, Recreation and Open Space Master
Plan The park is needed to meet the growing demand for community park facilities such as athletic
fields It is proposed that the PACSD leverage local funds (the appraised value of the acquired
property) with grant funding from the Texas Recreation and Parks Account administered by the TPWD
Upon authorization by the City Council, the PACSD will apply to TPWD's Recreation and Parks Account
Program for agrant-in-aid for acquisition and development of the park. The grant-in-aid is a 50% local
share and 50% State share program It is anticipated that the total grant amount will be for $1,000,000,
with the local share being the value of recently acquired property This grant amount ($500,000 from
TPWD} is the maximum allowable under the program
While the capital needs for this project will be addressed though existing CIP and proposed grant
funding, an impact on the General Fund budget is anticipated once the project is complete Present
estimates indicate that the annual operating cost would be $106,000, while producing an annual
revenue of $30,500,.
