Tarrant County Housing Partnership,Inc. Rev.9.27.2016
10.9.2 Agency may terminate this Contract if City does not provide the CDBG Funds
substantially in accordance with this Contract.
10.10 Termination for Convenience.
In terminating in accordance with 2 CFR Part 200, Appendix II, this Contract may be
terminated in whole or in part only as follows:
10.10.1 By City with the consent of Agency in which case the Parties shall agree upon
the termination conditions, including the effective date and in the case of partial termination, the
portion to be terminated; or
10.10.2 By Agency upon at least 30 days written notification to City, setting forth the
reasons for such termination, the effective date, and in the case of partial termination, the portion
to be terminated. In the case of a partial termination, City may terminate the Contract in its

10.11 Dissolution of A2ency Terminates Contract.
This Contract shall terminate in the event Agency is dissolved or ceases to exist. In the

In the event this Contract is terminated with or without cause, all assets acquired by
Agency with the CDBG Funds including cash, interest payments from loans or otherwise, all
outstanding notes, mortgages or other security instruments, any accounts receivable attributable
to the use of the CDBG Funds, and any real or personal property owned by Agency that was

may designate.
11. REPAYMENT OF CDBG FUNDS.
All CDBG Funds are subject to repayment in the event the Program does not meet the
requirements of this Contract or in the CDBG Regulations. If Agency takes any action that
results in the City being required to repay all or any portion of the CDBG Funds to HUD,
Agency agrees it will reimburse City for such repayment. If Agency takes any action that
results in City receiving a finding from HUD about the Program, whether or not
repayment of all or any portion of the CDBG Funds is required of City, Agency agrees City
may require that 10% of the CDBG Funds be repaid to City as liquidated damages. The
Parties agree that City's damages in the event of either repayment to HUD being required or
receiving a finding from HUD are uncertain and would be difficult to ascertain and may include
an impact on City's CDBG grant or other federal grant funds, in addition to the finding by HUD
or a required repayment of funds 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.

to, terminate this Contract. In the event of termination under this Section 12, all CDBG Funds
awarded but not yet paid to Agency pursuant to this Contract shall be immediately rescinded and
Agency shall have no further right to such funds. City, in its sole discretion, may require that
any CDBG Funds already paid to Agency must be repaid to City within 30 calendar days of
termination under this Section.
13. SURVIVAL.
Any provision of this Contract that pertains to auditing, monitoring, client income
eligibility, record keeping and reports, City ordinances, or applicable CDBG requirements, and
any default and enforcement provisions necessary to enforce such provisions, shall survive the
termination of this Contract for 5 years after the Contract term ends and shall be enforceable by
City against Agency. For purposes of this Contract, this 5 year period for survival of certain
Contract provisions is deemed to begin on October 1, 2017 and end on September 30, 2022
regardless of whether or not this Contract is earlier terminated.

DISCUSSION:
The City's 2016-2017 Action Plan summarizes the major housing and community development activities
and proposed expenditures for the program year beginning October 1, 2016 and ending September 30,
2017 for use of federal grant funds totaling $10,094,608.00 from the United States Department of Housing
and Urban Development(HUD) for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment
Partnerships Program (HOME), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) and Housing Opportunities for Persons
with AIDS (HOPWA) grant programs. It also summarizes the use of program income resulting from
activities using prior years' CDBG and HOME funds, for which the primary purpose is to benefit low and
moderate income City of Fort Worth residents. ESG funds primarily benefit homeless persons and HOPWA
funds primarily benefit low and moderate income persons with HIV/AIDS.
Staff developed initial recommendations for the allocation of the estimated funding from HUD, which were
adopted by the Community Development Council (CDC) on May 11, 2016 and were presented to the
Housing & Neighborhood Services Committee on May 3, 2016 and to the City Council at the Pre-Council
meeting on June 7, 2016. After these presentations, Staff developed revised recommendations which were
to be presented to the CDC at its meeting on July 13, 2016, but the meeting was not held due to the lack of
a quorum. A full explanation of revisions, including a comparison of the initial recommendations to the
revised recommendations, are set forth in the informal report presented to the City Council on August 2,
2016.
Notice of a 30-day public comment period from July 1, 2016 to August 1, 2016 was published in the Fort
Worth Star-Telegram on June 30, 2016. Any comments received are maintained by the Neighborhood
Services Department in accordance with federal regulations. The City is required to hold two public
hearings as part of the HUD-required citizen participation process. Initially, the first public hearing was
scheduled to be held at the CDC meeting on July 13, 2016 with a second public hearing scheduled for
August 2, 2016 at the City Council meeting. Because the CDC was unable to meet on July 13, 2016, these
dates were amended to reflect the first public hearing at the City Council meeting on August 2, 2016 with
the second public hearing to be held at the City Council meeting on August 9, 2016. Due to the revised
hearing dates, the public comment period was extended until August 8, 2016 and a notice of public
hearings and extension of public comment period was published in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram on July
17, 2016.
A summary of the Staffs final funding recommendations is provided below and in Tables 1, 2 and
3. Additionally, a spreadsheet of all specific funding recommendations is attached. The 2016-2017 Action
Plan must be submitted to HUD by August 15, 2016.
