DISCUSSION
The Parks and Community Services Department (PACSD) is preparing a revised grant application to
the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to obtain matching funds for improvements to boat ramp
facilities at Casino Beach Park on Lake Worth The need to reconstruct the existing boat ramp facility is
demonstrated through citizen inquires for improvements and reports of damage to boat trailers due to
existing conditions The City Council previously authorized this grant application last year (M&C
G-12270, dated July 14, 1998), the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has requested reauthorization
for the grant application cycle in January, 1999
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department administers agrants-in-aid program which receives funding
from the Federal Aid in Sport Fish Restoration Act and the State Game, Fish and Water Safety Fund
The State Boat Ramp Program is intended to provide public access to public waters for boating, fishing
and recreational purposes. Grants for these types of facilities are available from the Texas Parks and
Wildlife Department on a 75% State share-26% local share basis The maximum amount (State share)
per application is $200,000 The City's local share of $66,666 will be appropriated from the Lake Worth
Special Trust Fund
While the capital needs for this project will be addressed by the proposed grant and proposed local
funding source, an impact to the General Fund budget is anticipated once the project is completed
Due to increased usage, it is estimated that an additional $1,200 for Casino Beach Park would be
required for annual operation and maintenance costs
