Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's Boat Ramp Program to obtain matching funds for
improvements to boat ramp facilities at Arrow S and Lake Arlington Parks The proposed
projects are located in COUNCIL DISTRICTS 7 and 5, respectfully
The need to reconstruct both boat ramp facilities 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

While the capital needs for these projects will be addressed by the proposed grant and proposed
local funding sources, an impact on the General Fund budget is anticipated once the projects are
completed Due to increased usage, it is estimated that an additional $1,150 for Arrow S Park
and $3,570 for Lake Arlington Park would be required for annual operating and maintenance
costs
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 $200,000 for matching funds
to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's Boat Ramp Program for improvements at
Arrow S and Lake Arlington parks, and
2 Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to sign the grant application and act as the
City's representative in all matters related to the grant
Indirect costs do not apply to the grant application because no City salaries are involved
