repayment of fiends to HUD by City. Therefore, the Parties agree that payment under this
Section of 10% of the CDBG Funds by Agency to City is liquidated damages and not a penalty.

(CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG)
and Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS (HOPWA) grant programs. It also summarizes
the use of program income resulting from activities using prior years' CDBG and HOME
funds. The purpose of these grant funds is to primarily benefit low and moderate income City
residents with ESG funds primarily benefiting homeless persons and HOPWA funds primarily
benefiting persons with HIV/AIDS.
Staff developed recommendations for the allocation of the estimated funding from HUD and
presented them to the Community Development Council (CDC) on May 20, 2015 and to the City
Council at its Pre-Council meeting on June 16, 2015. Notice of a 30-day public comment period
from July 1, 2015 to July 31, 2015 was published in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram on June 28,
2015. Any comments received will be maintained by the Neighborhood Services Department in
accordance with federal regulations. The City will hold two public hearings as part of the HUD-
required citizen participation process, the first on July 28, 2015 and the second on August 4, 2015

hearings were held on June 18, 2015 at 11:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. for citizens to provide comment
on the proposed list of neighborhood streets eligible for reconstruction using CDBG funds.
A summary of the CDC's funding recommendations is provided below in Tables 1, 2 and 3 and a
