DISCUSSION
The Parks and Community Services Department (PACDS) is preparing a grant application to the
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to obtain matching funds for the acquisition and
development of a community park in the far southwest quadrant of the City The proposed park
is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 6
The need and funding for "Community Parks" and an athlete complex were identified as a portion
of the 1986 Capital Improvement Program, (C I P) Proposition No 2, Park and Recreation
Improvements Bonds in the amount of 51,000,000 have been sold for acquisition of two 12)
community parks, one each in the southwest and west areas of the city To meet the growing
demand for athletic facilities it is proposed to leverage local funds with a state local park fund
grant to acquire approximately 50 acres and provide phase one improvements for the subject
park
The PACSD will apply for funds through the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's Recreation
and Parks Account Program This program provides grants-in-aid for political subdivisions within
the state for acquisition and development of parks The grants-in-aid may not exceed fifty (50%)
percent of the project cost The proposed grant application would use 1986 C I P funds as the
City's match It is anticipated that the total grant amount will be 51,000,000 with the local
share being 5500,000 and the state share an equal amount This amount is within the maximum
grant funding being offered at this time by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department

ACQUISITION AND DEVELOPMENT OF SOUTHWEST COMMUNITY PARK
While the capital needs for this project will be addressed by the proposed grant and existing
C I P appropriations, an impact on the General Fund budget would be anticipated once the
project is completed Present estimates indicate a $103,000 annual operating and maintenance
cost while producing 528,080 in revenues
On January 16, 1996, the Parks and Community Services Advisory Board approved a motion to
recommend to the City Council that it
1 Approve the submission of a grant request in the amount of 5500,000 for matching
funds to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department for Southwest Community Park,
and
2 Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to sign the grant application and act
as the City's representative in all matters relative to the grant
Indirect costs do not apply to the grant application because no City salaries are involved
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION
The Director of Fiscal Services certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and
adoption of the attached appropriations ordinances, funds will be available, as appropriated, in
the Grants Fund
