1.1.1 Community Facilities and Equipment

Municipal Complex - In 2019, as part of the City's updated 2020 Comprehensive Plan, a Citizen
Committee recommended a new Municipal Complex to replace several municipal buildings, and
to act as an anchor for a proposed downtown development. The existing municipal buildings are
aging and have mechanical issues, electrical problems, ADA non-compliance and/or other
challenges. In May 2021, voters approved the general obligation bond election to fund the design
and construction of a new two-story, approximately 35,000 square-foot Benbrook Municipal
Complex to house the Police Station, Senior Citizen's Center, Municipal Court, City Hall Offices,
st
and a Visitor's Center. Construction is scheduled to begin late 1 quarter 2022.

Ambulance Replacement - The Fire Department is responsible for providing Emergency Medical
Services for the City of Benbrook and a portion of southwest Tarrant County. The City operates
four ambulances and beginning in 2009 implemented an ambulance replacement plan to rotate
out the oldest ambulance from service once every two years. In past bi-annual cycles, the City
has always been awarded a $75,000 Ambulance Replacement Grant toward the purchase of each
new ambulance from the Tarrant County Emergency Services District (TCESD). Beginning this
current fiscal year and continuing through FY2025-26, TCESD, using the American Rescue Plan
Act (ARP Act) funds, has awarded the City an escalating cost Ambulance Replacement Grant
ranging from $550,000 to $694,362. The grant will cover the cost to purchase one new ambulance
and all associated on-board medical equipment including a cardiac monitor every year for the
next five years.

Dump Truck - The City’s Public Services Department currently operates and maintains two dump
trucks, 2001 and 2003 model years. Both trucks have over 100,000 miles and increasing break
downs are resulting in lost time and significant repair costs. City Council approved the purchase
of one replacement dump truck (a 2022 model year) in FY2021-22, with an anticipated delivery
time of one year. The proposed second replacement dump truck is a new 2026 model year with
a 12 cubic-yard load capacity.
