DISCUSSION:
The National Community Development Association (NCDA) is a national nonprofit organization comprised
of more than 400 local governments across the country that administer federally-supported community
and economic development, and housing and human services programs, including the Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG), and HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME). The City was
selected to host the NCDA Annual Regional VI Southwest Conference. This conference is an opportunity
for Fort Worth to showcase its community planning and development programs and will provides a
regional gathering to learn about best practices in those areas.
The conference will be held from October 30 to November 1, 2019. Training on CDBG Basics will be held
in conjunction with the conference from October 28 through October 29, 2019.
The City will:
1. Seek out sponsorships to assist in payment of conference expenses.
2. To the greatest extent possible, cover conference expenses, i.e. contracted events, services,
facilities, and speakers through the use of conference registration fees and sponsoring funds. The
conference budget will ensure that all project costs are paid through collection of registration fees
and/or sponsorships. Any funding remaining after payments of all conference expenses will be
remitted to NCDA.
3. Host a welcome reception, evening activities, the conference luncheon and provide CDBG/HOME

4. Negotiate and contract with facilities where conference activities will take place.
NCDA will, upon request and approval by the Regional VI Board of Directors, provide up-front funding to
reserve facilities or pay other costs prior to the City's receipt of conference registration fees or
sponsorships. NCDA will also review the conference revenue and expenditure report and authorize
reimbursement to the City for any reasonable unexpected costs not covered by conference registration
fees and expenses.
Contracts executed in connection with this project will be for less than $100,000.00 and therefore do not
require M&C authorization under section 2-9 of the City Code.
A Form 1295 is not required for this contract because: This M&C does not request approval of a contract
with a business entity.

The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations, receipt of the
conference registration and sponsorship funds, and adoption of the appropriation ordinance, funds will be
