COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 5/22/2007 -Ordinance No. 17560-05-2007
DATE: Tuesday, May 22, 2007
LOG NAME: 05ALERTMATCH
REFERENCE NO.: C-22134
SUBJECT:
Amend the City's Matching Fund in the 2005 Lead Hazard Control Grant; Ratify a Contract with
the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development; and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Approve the increase in the City's in-kind matching fund requirement for the 2005 U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Lead Hazard Control Program (LHC) grant from $300,000.00, as
approved in M&C G-14811, to $2,318,351.45, as set forth in the final contract between the City and HUD;
2. Authorize the City Manager to ratify the contract with HUD dated October 27, 3005, with an in-kind
match of $2,318,351.45;
3. Approve the use of $2,318,351.45 from Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Texas
Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) grant funds as the City's additional matching fund
portion of the LHC grant; and
4. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing the estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Grants Fund by $2,018,351.45.
DISCUSSION:
On May 31, 2005, (M&C G-14811) the City Council authorized the application for and acceptance of an
LHC grant from HUD with an in-kind match of $300,000.00 from the City.
These funds will continue and expand efforts to increase the supply of lead-safe housing in the City.
Treatment of lead-based paint in conjunction with housing rehabilitation activities are important to public
health because lead-based paint in older housing stock has been found to be the primary cause of elevated
blood lead levels among small children. Elevated blood lead levels (FREE) in children less than 6 years of
age are a particular public health concern, as EBLLs can have significant negative impacts on cognitive and
behavioral development, with consequent long-term effects on productivity and future earnings. Children at
highest risk for having high blood levels are those living in housing built before 1978.
The contract between the City and HUD was executed on October 28, 2005, in the amount of
$5,318,351.45 ($3,000,000.00 from LHC grant funds, and $2,318,351.45 in City matching funds). The
funding adjustment increased the local matching fund from $300,000.00 previously approved by the
City Council to $2,318,351.45.
The City's adjusted in-kind match of $2,318,351.45 will be met with funds from the Emergency Repair,
Home Improvement, and Cowtown Brush-up programs funded with CDBG Grants and the Weatherization
Program funded with TDHCA grants, for the period from November 1, 2005 to October 31, 2008.
