DISCUSSION
The Parks and Community Services Department (PACSD) is preparing a 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 proposed project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 7 The
need to reconstruct the existing boat ramp facility is demonstrated through citizen inquiries for
improvements and reports of damage to boat trailers due to existing conditions.
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 - 25% local share basis. The maximum amount (State
share) per application is $200,000 00 The City's local share of $66,666 00 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 on the General Fund budget is anticipated once the project is completed
Due to increased usage, it is estimated that an additional $1,200 00 for Casino Beach Park would be
required for annual operating and maintenance costs.
