HEARING:
SUBJECT: Authorize Acceptance of Low Income Weatherization Assistance Program Funds in an
Amount Up to $612,000.00 from the Texas Association of Community Action Agencies,
Authorize Related Contract Amendment and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance (ALL
COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize acceptance of a grant in an amount up to $612,000.00 from the Texas Association of
Community Action Agencies for a low income Weatherization Program;
2. Authorize execution of an amendment to City Secretary Contract No. 37797 with the Texas

contract for an additional term beginning November 1, 2011 and ending October 31, 2012;
3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in
the Grants Fund by $612,000.00 subject to receipt of the grant.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication is to approve acceptance of funds that will be
used to assist with Weatherization and energy efficiency efforts in the homes of low income
individuals.
The Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) was transferred to the Parks and Community
Services Department from the Housing and Economic Development Department on October 1,
2011. The WAP program has been operated by the City of Fort Worth since 1982. The bulk of the
funding for the program comes from the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs, which
administers grant funds from the Department of Energy and the United States Department of Health
and Human Services. Additional funds are supplied by the Texas Association of Community Action
Agencies (TACAA), which administers monies allocated by Oncor Electric Delivery to provide a Low
Income Weatherization Program that complements the federally funded WAP and provides
assistance to Oncor's low income customers for energy efficiency measures.
The primary objective of the TACAA program is a cost effective reduction of energy use in the homes
of eligible families. To qualify, a family's income must be less than 200 percent of the Federal poverty
level, and they must be connected to Oncor's electric system. Eligible services may include attic
insulation, weather stripping, caulking, window and door repairs and/or replacement, installation of
compact fluorescent lighting and installation of water saver devices and Energy -Star -Rated air
conditioners and refrigerators. Final determination of services is made through the performance of an
energy audit or in accordance with an approved priority list.
On July 15, 2008, the City Council approved the acceptance of a grant from TAACA for the program
and authorized execution of an agreement for the project (M&C C-22917). The Contract (City
Secretary Contract No. 37797) has been amended several times to allow for acceptance of additional
funds and extend the program for additional terms (City Secretary Contract Nos. 37797-A1, 37797-
A2, 37797-A3, 37797-A4, and 37797-A4A). Staff recommends that the City Council authorize

another contract amendment to address acceptance of additional grant funds and an extended

The TACAA program will be administered within existing WAP standards and guidelines. Contractors
will not be paid until work is inspected by Parks and Community Services Department
inspectors. The current year target for the combined WAP and TACAA program is a total of
approximately 225 homes.
The program serves ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above
recommendations, receipt of the grant, and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds
