Inc., will work in partnership with the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine, University
of Texas at North Texas State; John Peter Smith Hospital, Tarrant County Commissioners
Court; the City of Fort Worth's Health Department; and the Fort Worth Independent School
District toward the realization of this need in the community and called attention of the
City Council to Mayor and Council Communication No. G-9412, as follows:
SUBJECT: CDBG FUNDING FOR STOP SIX COMMUNITY HEALTH CLINIC
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to:
1. Reserve $400,000 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funds to
either rehabilitate or renovate an existing building or to construct a new
facility to serve as Community Health Clinic for the Stop Six Target Area,
and
2. Approve a $400,000 fund transfer from Grant Fund GR76, Street
Construction, to Grant Fund GR76, Stop Six Health Clinic.
DISCUSSION:
Stop Six Community Services, Inc., has proposed a primary health care clinic to
serve the Stop Six Community. The agency has recently applied for incorporation
as a non-profit, 501(C) (3) organization.
In 1989, the United Way, in their "Southeast Fort Worth Health Services Report,"
determined that there must be "... a creative, client -centered, comprehensive
approach to health services, including: a) family planning and reproductive
health care, family practice care, maternal health services, prenatal services
and well baby care; and b) case management services to facilitate follow-up
services, including social services."
The establishment of a clinic would provide area residents with a critical
comprehensive health care program. Two specific groups would receive special
targeting: pregnant teenagers and their infants and the elderly. Research has
indicated that pregnant adolescents suffer from more medical complications than
pregnant adults. Premature rates, low birth weight babies, maternal and child
mortality, and anemia are dramatically higher for adolescent mothers.
Accessibility to health care and to community based social services are major
factors in providing the elderly with quality health care. Older low-income
adults are more likely to have difficulty with transportation, either because
they do not own cars, or cannot drive because of health problems. Using public
transportation may be difficult or impossible because of problems with vision
or mobility impairment and taxis may be very expensive.
In the process of establishing the clinic, Stop Six Community Services, Inc.
will work in partnership with The Texas College'of Osteopathic Medicine (TCOM)
to develop appropriate linkages with other health care providers in Tarrant
County, including John Peter Smith Hospital and the Fort Worth Independent
School District's proposed school clinic program. To date, $600,000 has been
committed by a private benefactor; $210,000 has been committed by the Tarrant
County Hospital District and $2,000 was donated by Summit Bancshare, Inc. Also,
Stop Six Community Services, Inc. will work with TCOM to generate additional
funds. Grant proposals were submitted to the Sid Richardson Foundation, the
Anne Burnett and Charles Tandy Foundation, and the Amon Carter Foundation.
On November 19, 1991 the City Council held a public hearing on the allocation
of $400,000 for a clinic in the Diamond Hill area. At the conclusion of that
hearing a contract was awarded to the Diamond Hill Community Health Clinic,
Inc., for the architectural services portion of the project. Work on the clinic
itself is proposed to begin in February of 1992 and be completed in July 1992.
The project in the Stop Six area was originally anticipated to receive funding

Tuesday, December 3, 1991
M&C G-9412 cont.II in June of 1992. However, the critical need for health care facilities in this
area has resulted in a proposal to expedite this project.
Therefore, in order to finance this project it is proposed that $400,000 in CDBG
Year XV Street Construction Funds, reserved to supplement the 1986 Capital
Improvement Program (CIP), be transferred to this project. The $400,000
borrowed from Street Construction would be replaced from the CDBG Year XVIII
Entitlement Funds on June 1, 1992.
A contract with Stop Six Community Services, Inc., will be brought to City
Council at the earliest possible date.
The CDBG regulations require a public hearing when a significant change in the
use of funds occurs, i.e. using street money for the establishment of a clinic.
A hearing has been scheduled for December 3, 1991. The notice of this public
hearing was published in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram on November 26, 1991.
This project is located in Council DISTRICT Five.

BH -0075 cont. SUBJECT: BENEFIT HEARING FOR THE ASSESSMENT PAVING OF GROVE STREET FROM LONG
AVENUE TO 38TH STREET (PROJECT NO. 30-025270)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt an ordinance that:
1. Closes the benefit hearing, and
2. Levies the assessments as proposed, and ,-,,.
3. Acknowledges that in each case the abutting property is specially
benefitted in enhanced value in excess of the amount assessed for the
improvement of Grove Street from Long Avenue to 38th Street.
DISCUSSION:
Grove Street was included in the 1982 Capital Improvement Program. The project
has been delayed due to right-of-way issues related to encroaching concrete
structures, location of several driveway approaches, and the securing of outfall
drainage facilities. Grove Street is located within the Diamond Hill Target
Area, however, CDBG funds are not available for this project. Grove Street, in
this area, is industrial/commercial in both zoning and actual use. Proposed
assessment rates have been calculated according to the City Assessment Policy.
Grove Street will be constructed with appropriate concrete pavement for an
industrial street. Concrete driveways and sidewalks will be built where shown
on the plans.
On October 15, 1991 (M&C G-9342), the City Council established November 19,
1991, as the date of the benefit hearing. Notice was given in accord with
Article 1105b, Vernon's Annotated Civil Statutes.
An independent appraiser has provided a report'that documents the enhancement
to property values which results from the improvements. Based on standard City
policy, the, City Engineer's, estimate, and, the advice of the independent
appraiser, the division of estimated construction cost is:
Property owners' share of cost $239,599.85 ( 31%)
City's share of cost $533,412.23 ( 69%)
Total cost $773,012.08 (100%)
There are no unusual situations on this project that require special City
Council consideration. The project is in Council DISTRICT 2.

M&C G-9407 re There was presented Mayor and Council Communication No. G-9407 from the City Manager,
Clinic Fee Schedule as follows:
amendment
SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO FORT WORTH PUBLIC HEALTH MATERNITY AND CHILD HEALTH
CLINIC FEE SCHEDULE
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute
an amendment to the Fort Worth Public Health Maternity and Child Health Clinic
fee schedule, increasing the maximum well-child service fee from $30 to $40
(actual charges are determined from a sliding fee scale based on client income).
1111f. 1111'I.'f illkii
On May 19, 1990 City Council approved M&C G-8641 authorizing the City Manager
to participate in the Texas Medicaid Assistance Program (Medicaid) by
implementing the Maternity Clinic Services Program and the Early and Periodic
Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment (EPSDT) Program in the Maternity and Child
Health (M&CH) Clinics in the Public Health Department. At that time Council
also approved the proposed fee schedule for services provided through these
programs.
Medicaid program requirements stipulate that clinic fees assessed Medicaid
clients for reimbursement through the state can be no greater than clinic fees
charged to non -Medicaid clients for equivalent services.
M&C G-8641 established well-child service fees at $30 per visit, which at the
time adhered to the Medicaid policy cited above. Beginning September 1, 1991,
however, the maximum allowable reimbursement through Medicaid for well-child
services increased from $27 to $40. In order to collect the maximum Medicaid
reimbursement, the maximum well-child service fee must be increased from $30 to
$40.
Approximately 90% of all non -Medicaid clients currently receiving well-child
services in Fort Worth Maternity and Child Health Clinics qualify for payment
of 10% of the maximum allowable charge, or $3. The recommended fee increase
will result in a $1 increase to these clients.
If approved, the recommended fee increase is projected to generate an additional
$117,150 in revenues for FY 91-92. Please note that current projected revenue
(adopted) figures were based on estimated annual clinic visits. Revised
projected revenue figures are now based on previous years' actual annual clinic
visits. The following is a breakdown of revised revenue projections:

On January 3, 1989 (M&C C-11398), the City Council approved a contract (City
Secretary Contract No. 16886) with Pruett -Gideon Architects, Inc., (subsequently
known as Pruett Architects, Inc.) for professional services covering the design

$66,500.00.

to provide additional architectural design services for a total additional fee
of $8,500.00, increasing the total fee to $75,000.00.
Pruett's contract, as amended, did not provide for architectural services in
