AND RELATED APPROPRIATION ORDINANCE
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council
1 Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Van Zandt Special Trust Fund by $26,938 81 from available funds, and

DISCUSSION
In January 1996, Mr James R. Nichols submitted a request to the Parks and Community Services
Department requesting the termination of the management contract between the City of Fort Worth and
the Ethel N Nichols Van Zandt Cottage Foundation ("Foundation") The Foundation believed the
interests of the public would be better served if management of the Cottage was assumed by the City
Upon the official termination of the Foundation, the City Council approved the termination of the
management contract with the Foundation on September 17, 1996 (M&C 15649) A donation in the
amount of $14,881 42 was received from Mr James R. Nichols on November 11, 1996 This amount
reflected the known balance of funds left after the Foundation made required repairs to the Cottage.
Staff has recently been notified that an additional $26,938 81 exists in the Foundation's funds These
funds came from unrealized stock investments purchased in the name of the Foundation Mr James R.
Nichols has offered to donate these funds to the City of Fort Worth's Van Zandt Cottage restricted fund
On November 17, 1998, the Parks and Community Services Advisory Board approved a motion to
accept and deposit this donation from the Foundation into the Van Zandt Cottage account to be used
for maintaining and operating the Cottage
