DISCUSSION:
The City Council approved and accepted the State of Texas Assistance Request (STAR) via (M&C G-
19092) on September 12, 2017, in an interim budget amount of$1,000,000.00 to prepare and provide
emergency sheltering and other services to deal with the humanitarian needs associated with the
expected Hurricane Harvey-related evacuations.
The City of Fort Worth (City) was asked to be the hub for Tarrant County efforts. This requires the City to
aggregate the expenditures of the five other entities in Tarrant County who prepared and/or provided
assistance and request reimbursement on their behalf. The City would then accept the reimbursement and
pass it on to the outside entity. The other entities are: The City of Arlington, Fort Worth Independent
School District, JPS Health Network, MedStar, and MHMR Tarrant. The recording of these
reimbursements, along with costs over the original estimate, have created a need to request additional
revenue and expenditure appropriations. The below chart depicts the payments the City will be making to
the other entities by serving as the hub for Tarrant County efforts:
