SUBJECT: Authorize Execution of a License Agreement with Casa Del Immigrante Fort Worth to Use
Space at the Northside Community Center Located at 1100 NW 18th Street, Fort Worth,
Texas, 76164 to Provide Citizenship and Immigration Information and Classes to Serve
the Community and Authorize Waiver of Fees (COUNCIL DISTRICT 2)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the execution of a License Agreement with Casa Del Immigrante Fort Worth to use
space at the Northside Community Center located at 1100 NW 18th Street, Fort Worth, Texas, 76164
to provide citizenship and immigration information and classes to serve the community;
2. Authorize waiver of fees; and
3. Find that the waiver of such fees serves to carry out the public purpose of providing low-cost
citizenship and immigration assistance to area residents and that adequate controls are in place
through the Neighborhood Services Department to carry out such public purpose.
DISCUSSION:
Since 2005, the City and Fort Worth Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (HCC) have been party to a
series of Agreements to lease office space, through approved sub lessees, at the Northside
Community Center, located at 1100 NW 18th Street, Fort Worth, Texas, 76164, to meet the needs of
the community in the areas of workforce development, consumer health and awareness, education,
business consultation and financial literacy programs.
Casa Del Immigrante Fort Worth (CDIFW), one of the sub lessees, provides citizenship and
immigration information, citizenship classes, cultural information and events for area residents.
The most recent Lease Agreement between the City and HCC terminated on October 31, 2014, (City
Secretary Contract (CSC) No. 45203) and was not renewed by the HCC, which also terminated
CDIFW s Sublease Agreement.
CDIFW desires to continue to offer services and classes at the Northside Community Center to area
residents.
Approval of this Mayor and Council Communication authorizes the City and CDIFW to enter into a
License Agreement for a term of one year with the option to renew the Agreement for two additional
successive years for use of a designated space at the Northside Community Center and waives the
license fee in consideration for CDIFW to provide citizenship and immigration information, citizenship
classes, cultural information and events for area residents.
The City's Neighborhood Services Department will be responsible for verifying the public purposes
are carried out.
CDIFW will provide the City a report each month detailing services offered, number of residents

served, classes offered, number of class participants completing courses and other data documenting
service to residents living in the neighboring community.
The City will use this information to evaluate whether the public is being served by partnering on this
endeavor and will regularly consider whether the waiver of license fees is adequately providing
citizenship and immigration information within the community.
This program is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 2.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:

2017 Budget will occur.
