It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of a License Agreement with Rugby Union Growth Begins with Youth to use a portion of Harmon Park for installation of a storage unit near the rugby/soccer field for equipment storage.

Rugby Union Growth Begins with Youth (R.U.G.B.Y.) is a non-profit corporation that was established in 2017 to help support the growth of rugby in North Texas, and is the sister youth rugby organization of the Fort Worth Rugby Association (FWRA) which was established in 1971. FWRA has been a customer and user of Harmon Park fields and other fields since the organization's inception. FWRA utilizes the fields for both practice and games. R.U.G.B.Y. has requested to place a storage unit in Harmon Park in an area outside the field gates. The storage unit will be used for storing game materials and supplies.

R.U.G.B.Y. has agreed to install a permanent concrete base in the park for the storage unit to be bolted to. This would prohibit the storage unit from floating away should a large storm event occur. Tarrant Regional Water District has reviewed the location and is in Agreement with the plan.

As consideration for the License Agreement, FWRA has agreed to perform monthly clean-up of all trash and debris in and around Harmon Park Fields. The proposed License Agreement is for a term of three years, with three successive one year renewal options.

Harmon Park Fields are located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 8.
