City of Fort Worth, Texas Mayor and Council Communication COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 6/7/2005 DATE: Tuesday, June 07, 2005 LOG NAME: 05CARVERHTS REFERENCE NO.: C-20780 SUBJECT: Authorization to Extend, Renew or Amend the Current Contract with the Carver Heights East Redevelopment Corporation for the Carver Heights East Model Blocks RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council: 1. Authorize the City Manager to Extend or renew the current contract if Carver Heights East Redevelopment Corporation requests an extension or renewal; 2. Authorize the City Manager to amend the CDBG contract with the Carver Heights East Redevelopment Corporation to increase the current CDBG contract amount ($140,000) by $43,900 for a contract total of $183,900; 3. Amend the contract; if necessary, to achieve Carver Heights East revitalization goals, provided that the amendment is compatible with the community revitalization strategy and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations; 4. Reallocate $35,000 in Year XXIX CDBG funds from the Carver Heights East Neighborhood Entrance Marker Program to the Carver Heights East Minor Home Repair Program; and 5. Reallocate $8,900 in Year XXIX CDBG funds from the Carver Heights East Streetlight Improvement Program to the Carver Heights East Minor Home Repair Program. DISCUSSION: Since becoming a Model Blocks in 2003, the Carver Heights East community has been very successful in implementing their Community Revitalization Strategy. Part of the original plan was to work through the City to construct neighborhood entrance markers at two entry points in the community. Right-of-way issues and insurance requirements have presented unforeseen challenges to these plans. In order to continue moving forward and because of the success of the Carver Heights East Minor Home Repair (MHR) Program (20 homes repaired) and a demand from residents for additional MHR services, the Carver Heights East Model Blocks Steering Committee has requested that funds ($35,000) previously allocated for neighborhood entrance markers be reallocated to the MHR program. In addition, since the community's request for improved street lighting will now be addressed through the City's Capital Improvement Program, they have requested that those funds ($8,900) be reallocated to the MHR program, as well. These additional funds, which total $43,900, will bring the total number of homes benefiting from the MHR program to approximately 31. Logname: 05CARVERHTS pace 1 of'?
