Mayor and Council Communication
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 (EBLL) 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.
The program is available in ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Finance Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the
attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, of
the Grants Fund.

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager to apply for and accept, if awarded, a grant of up to $3,000,000 from HUD
for Lead Based Paint Hazard Control, to be entitled the Area Lead Education, Reduction and Training
Program Number 2 (ALERT2) with a 10% "in -kind" match required from the City;
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing the estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Grants Fund by up to $3,300,000, subject to receipt of the grant;
�. Certify that the activities to be funded with the grant are consistent with the City's Consolidated Plan;
and
4. Authorize the City Manager to enter into agreements or amend such agreements with the Tarrant County
Public Health Department, the Fort Worth Housing Authority, the City of Denton, area nonprofit housing
organizations and other entities as may be necessary and appropriate within the scope of the program and in
compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
DISCUSSION:
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has issued a Notice of Funding Availability for
competitive grant funds under the Lead Based Paint Hazard Reduction program. The Housing Department
received a grant for 2002-2005 for its Area Lead Education Reduction and Training (ALERT) program and is
seeking further grant funding under this program in order to continue and expand efforts to increase the
supply of lead -safe housing in Fort Worth (ALERT2).
Treatment of lead -based paint in conjunction with housing rehabilitation activity is important to public health
because lead -based paint in older deteriorated housing stock has been found to be the primary cause of
elevated blood lead levels among small children. Elevated blood lead levels (EBLL) in children under 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 1946, from low income and
minority households.
d was a primary component of house painf through 1950 and was not banned for use in household paints
until 1978. Crumbling or flaking lead -based paint is a source of lead dust, which can be ingested by small
children through their frequent hand-to-mouth activity. Housing is generally made lead -safe through use of
interim controls, acost-effective treatment consisting of encapsulation of lead -paint surfaces and replacement
of components such as doors and windows which have friction surfaces that can create lead dust. The

average cost of treating homes in Fort Worth has been approximately $8500 per unit.
In September 2000, HUD implemented new requirements for treatment of lead -based paint in older housing
units receiving HUD -funded rehabilitation services. These requirements had the effect of significantly
increasing the per -unit -cost of rehabilitation, therefore reducing the total number of units the Housing
Department could repair in any given time period. To address this issue, and to respond to the extent of
lead -based paint found in Fort Worth's older. housing stock, in 2001, the Housing Department successfully
competed fora $3,000,000 three-year grant from HUD's Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard
Control. This grant allowed the Housing Department to fully integrate all of HUD's new lead -based paint
requirements into the Weatherization, Emergency Repair, Cowtown Brushup, and Home Improvement (HIP)
programs through the ALERT program. The ALERT program has resulted in treatment and clearance of 313
housing units which had been found to contain lead -based paint hazards. The Housing Department is now
applying for an additional $3,000,000 grant, also to be implemented over athree-year period, to continue the
ALERT program. The service area for the grant is proposed to include all of Tarrant County as well as the
City of Denton, which partnered with the Housing Department for the first ALERT program.
In addition to paying for lead -related housing rehabilitation activity (which must consume at least 65% of the
program's costs), up to 25% of the Lead Hazard Reduction grant funds can be used for outreach, education,
specialized training for construction workers and contractors, and necessary testing. City administrative
costs associated with implementation of the program are limited to 10% of the grant. The Lead Hazard
Reduction grant requires a 10% "in hu d„ rmoart-ams. hFor the purposes�tof thnsdgra�t, the 0% mat h is defined
Weatherization, and Cowtown Brus p p g
as being 10% of the granting agency's share.
The Housing Department will collaborate with the City of Denton, the Fort Worth Public Health Department,
the Tarrant County Public Health Department, the Fort Worth Housing Authority, local non-profit and
community -based organizations, and other relevant entities to ensure that appropriate outreach is conducted
among all at -risk populations and neighborhoods. Since lead hazard reduction activities carried out at
renter -occupied older housing have the greatest potential to prevent lead poisoning among the target
population of low income minority children in renter households, extensive outreach will be conducted toward
owners of rental housing that was built prior to 1940.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICA i iuN: royal of the above
The Finance Director certifies that upon award and receipt of the grant, app
recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current
operating budget, as appropriated, of the Grants Fund.
