SUBJECT ADOPTION OF SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION ORDINANCE WITH THE TEXAS
DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY AFFAIRS FOR THE
COMPREHENSIVE ENERGY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM THROUGH DECEMBER 31,
2001
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager to accept funds in the amount of $126,046 from the Texas Department
of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA), increasing the Fiscal Year 2001 allocation from
$739,360 to $865,406; and
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing the estimated receipts and appropriations in
the Grants Fund by $126,046; and
3. Authorize the application of indirect cost rates in accordance with the City's Administrative
Regulation 3-15, at a rate of 17.76%, which is the most recently approved rate for this department,
and apply the new, approved rate when available.
DISCUSSION:
On February 2, 2001 (M&C G-13164), the City Council accepted an anticipated contract grant amount
of $739,360, for the FY2001 CEAP (Comprehensive Energy Assistance Program). The TDHCA
disburses the actual grant amount when it becomes available from the U.S. Department of Energy
during the contract year. On April 1, 2001, the TDHCA notified the City that $665,406, the actual
amount of the grant, was available for the FY2001 CEAP.
On April 23, 2001, the TDHCA notified the City that it would receive an additional $200,000 due to this
winter's cold temperatures and the significant increases in the price of natural gas and propane. This
addition increases the FY2001 allocation from $665,406 to $865,406. The $126,046 recommended
appropriation represents the increase to the original anticipated grant award in the amount of$739,360.
The allocation is being made to address the need of low to moderate-income households in Tarrant
County who are paying a disproportionate amount to meet the needs for heating and cooling.
The CEAP for contract year 2001 has six components:
1. Energy Crisis; and
2. Elderly/Disabled Assistance; and
3. Co-Payment Assistance; and
4. Heating and Cooling Systems; and
5. Direct Service Support; and
6. Case Management.
