The Neighborhood Services Department is requesting that appropriations be increased in the Special
Purpose Funds to properly record program revenue received from the Neighborhood Empowerment Zone
(NEZ) program and sponsor contributions received for the Annual Housing Summit. Appropriations are
needed to account for revenue received so that program expenditures can provide additional support of
these two programs.
On April 25, 2000, Mayor and Council Communication (M&C G-12897) approved the Policy Statement on
the creation of Local Neighborhood Empowerment Zone (NEZ) and amended it on December 7, 2010
(M&C G-17133) and May 16, 2017 (M&C G-19010), in accordance with Chapter 378 of the Texas Local
Government Code. The City Council also authorized the City Manager to develop administrative
procedures for the NEZ Program.
The NEZ Administrative Procedures were adopted by the City Council on October 3, 2000 (M&C G-
13030) and amended on May 15, 2007, December 7, 2010 and May 16, 2017 to initiate improved program
requirements. Under the NEZ program, there is a $25.00 per application fee required to be paid by
applicants. To date, NEZ related fees in the amount of$177,101.01 have been received in the Special
Purpose Account but have not been appropriated. This request is to appropriate $20,000.00 for a NEZ
consultant/training and operational cost of the NEZ program.

and Urban Development (HUD), the Fort Worth Housing Solutions and other agencies and companies for
