DISCUSS
ION
On April 9, 1996 (M&C G-11445), the City Council authorized the City Manager to submit an application
to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) for a grant to restore selected wetland areas at the
Fort Worth Nature Center and Refuge On November 26, 1996, the NFWF notified the City of Fort
Worth that it had been awarded a grant of $28,800 to repair a degraded section of a levee and install a
low water weir to enhance and maintain 962 acres of palustrine emergent wetlands In order to be able
to receive the grant, $57,600 in non-federal matching funds are required
Staff proposes to use the Lake Worth Trust Fund to provide the $57,600 non-federal match By terms of
the grant agreement, a check from the City will be sent to the NFWF, who will function as the custodian
of the $57,600 match and the $28,800 challenge grant. The NFWF will disburse the funds to the City
as the work on the project progresses. At the end of the project, any remaining funds from the City's
match will be returned to the Lake Worth Trust Fund
The Fort Worth Nature Center and Refuge is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 7
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION
The Finance Director certifies that upon approval of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be
available in the Lake Worth Trust Fund
