Committee Member Scarth pointed out that the City entered into economic development agreements from time to time when they created tax value. He added in this particular case the City was essentially participating in a process where this company was being forced to move from their existing site due to the threat of condemnation. He indicated that he felt a particular reason to be cooperative with this sort of incentive plan beside the fact that it was going to do some redevelopment on a piece of property that had sat fairly stagnate for a number of years there on North Beach. CITY OF FORT WORTH CITY COUNCIL HOUSING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE December 7, 2010 Page 6 of 32 Presentation on Proposed Tax Abatement Agreement on Texas Refinery Corporation (cont'd) (Agenda Item 5) Committee Moncrief stated that the City had a long -time family here with Mr. Aggie Pate and those that had survived him have been team players with the City and were now finding themselves being displaced from their property for a project of the City's making. He added he felt this effort needed to be supported, especially with a 20 to 1 return on investment. He stated that it made sense to him. It was the consensus of the committee to move forward to the full City Council with this recommendation as presented. This concluded the presentation and discussion on this agenda item. Presentation Regarding Recommendations for Proposed HOME Proiects (Agenda Item 6) Ms. Cynthia Garcia, Assistant Director, Housing and Economic Development Department, spoke before the committee on the recommendations for the proposed HOME projects. She advised the City of Fort Worth received federal HOME funds for the development of low and moderate income housing. She pointed out that the figure was a little more than $3,000,000.00 per year. She advised that 15% of that funding had to be set aside for Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs). She added that the funds could be used by non- profit and for profit developers to develop low to moderate income housing. She advised that the staff had prepared a Request for Proposal (RFP) in order to receive proposals from developers. Ms. Garcia presented an overview of the contents of the presentation as follows. • RFP Timeline • Funding Availability • Proposed Project Summaries and Funding Requests • Funding Recommendations • Recommended Next Steps She discussed the RFP Timeline as follows: • October 14,2010-RFP Posted • November 14, 2010 - All responses due • December 1, 2010 - Staff funding CH DO recommendations to CDC CITY OF FORT WORTH CITY COUNCIL HOUSING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE December 7, 2010 Page 7 of 32 Presentation Regarding Recommendations for Proposed HOME Proiects (cont'd) (Agenda Item 6) • December 7, 2010 — Presentation to City Council • January 25, 2011 — M &C on City Council Agenda Ms. Garcia advised the Committee of the breakdown used for the evaluation as follows: • Project Location — 25 points available • Proof of Site Control — 5 points available • Project Description — 30 points available • Project Design — 15 points available • Project Budgets — 20 points available • Experience /Capacity — 20 points available • Experience /Capacity — 20 points available • Financial Capability — 20 points available • Community Support — 20 points available She provided the funding availability as follows: • CHDO Available Funds - $1,261,931 • Non -CHDO Available Funds - $2,260,000 She clarified that the CHDOs could apply for the non -CHDO funds. Ms. Garcia reviewed each of the RFPs received as follows and advised that there were three (3) proposals received for the CHDOs: She reviewed the aerial map of the Polytechnic /Wesleyan Neighborhood Empowerment Zone, which was outlined in the color red on the aerial map and provided the project information as follows: Cornerstone Assistance Network Housing Development Corporation Polytechnic /Wesleyan NEZ Council District 5 • Proposal for new construction of six (6) single family homes, with three (3) bedrooms, two (2) baths, and attached garage (approx. 1,400 square feet) • Scope of work included: site acquisition and construction CITY OF FORT WORTH CITY COUNCIL HOUSING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE December 7, 2010 Page 8 of 32 Presentation Regarding Recommendations for Proposed HOME Projects (cont'd) (Agenda Item 6) • HOME funding request: $640,000 ■ $540,000 in project costs ($90,000/home) ■ $100,000 in operating expenses ($50,000 /year for 2011 and 2012) • Total project cost: $619,900 • Community support for project and proposed elevations She indicated that one of the problems with this proposal was that the developer had not gained site control for the project to date.

She reviewed the aerial map of the Como Neighborhood, which was outlined in the color red on the aerial map and provided the project information as follows: Neighborhood Land Corporation Habitat for Humanity Como Neighborhood - Council District 7 • Proposal was for new construction of seven (7) single - family homes, with three (3) bedrooms, two (2) baths, and a one -car garage • Approximately 1,100 square feet • Scope of work: construction • HOME funding request: $470,000 ■ $420,000 in project costs ($60,000 /home) ■ $50,000 (operating) • Total project cost: $704,074 • Community support had not been established Ms. Garcia showed four (4) slides of the elevation drawings and photographs of the homes for this project.

Committee Member Moss requested clarification on the Cornerstone Project. He requested clarification that the developer would have to purchase some of the lots from the City. Ms. Garcia indicated that they were moving forward with the purchase of three (3) lots on Strong Avenue, which they purchased from the City. She pointed out that the project she had just reviewed was a new project and the lots had not been identified. Committee Member Burdette requested clarification on whether the Neighborhood Land Corporation had acquired the land in the Como area. Ms. Garcia indicated that they had acquired it. Committee Member Burdette requested confirmation that the only issue that remained was gaining neighborhood support for this project. Ms. Garcia indicated that was correct. Ms. Garcia continued her presentation with a chart showing the CHDO funding results and the CDC recommendation: CITY OF FORT WORTH CITY COUNCIL HOUSING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE December 7, 2010 Page 10 of 32 Presentation Regarding Recommendations for Proposed HOME Proiects (cont'd) Organization Cornerstone Assistance Network Neighborhood Land Corporation Tarrant County Housing Partnership, Inc.

Ms. Garcia could not respond to the question; however, Committee Member Burdette indicated that he knew the answer. Committee Member Burdette pointed out that the area in the color red was the area that was represented by the Neighborhood Advisory Council known as NAC and Libby Street had its own Neighborhood Association, which was separate from NAC. He also added that he understood that NRP was requesting tax credits for this project, which CITY OF FORT WORTH CITY COUNCIL HOUSING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE December 7, 2010 Page 14 of 32 Presentation Regarding Recommendations for Proposed HOME Proiects (cont'd) (Agenda Item 6) would be part of their financing of this project. Ms. Garcia indicated that information was correct as this was a low income housing project. Committee Member Scarth referenced the almost $8 million dollar cost associated with this project, for 36 homes, which he calculated would be a cost of more than $200,000.00 per home. Ms. Garcia indicated that the cost of the home would be dependent upon what they could sell the tax credits for. She explained that they usually do not sell for 100 %, it was usually 60 cents per $1.00. She explained that if they requested the $8 million dollars in tax credits, they would probably only receive $5 million. Committee Scarth then questioned how they made up the difference in the total cost of the project; i.e., was it from their own pockets. Ms. Garcia repeated the explanation she had provided previously. Committee Member Scarth questioned again the reason that the cost of the project was showing as $8 million, when in reality it was less than that amount. There was further deliberation on the fact that the tax credits were bid out and the developer would not know how much they were receiving until the tax credits were bid. She explained that this was the process on all low income tax credits. Further explanation was provided by Mr. Jay Chapa, Director of Housing and Economic Development. Committee Member Espino referenced the housing designs that were shown in the drawings and elevations and indicated that they appeared small. He referenced slides 18 and 21. He questioned if that was the best that they could do for these structures. Ms. Garcia requested to complete her presentation before responding to Committee Member Espino's question. She reviewed the next project as follows: NRP Group — Four Seasons — Oak Grove Shelby Road and South Race Street Council District 8 • Proposal: new construction of a 96 -unit mixed - income multi- family complex • One (1), two (2) and three (3) bedroom units ranging from 712 to 1,112 sq. feet • HOME funding request: $750,000 • Total project costs: $13,023,105 • Scope of Work: ■ Community center and clubhouse with amenities such as workout room, computer room with internet access, and kitchenette Support services offered at no cost to residents Child care and after school program CITY OF FORT WORTH CITY COUNCIL HOUSING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE December 7, 2010 Page 15 of 32 Presentation Regarding Recommendations for Proposed HOME Projects (cont'd) (Agenda Item 6) • Adult GED • Vocation and computer skills training Tarrant County Housing Partnership, Inc., Hillside Morningside Neighborhood — Council District 8 • Proposal: new construction of a 17 single - family homes • Three (3) bedrooms, two (2) baths, with detached rear garage • Floor plan options range from 1,200 to 1,449 square feet • Scope of Work: • Site acquisition (all 17 lots were in the City of Fort Worth's inventory of tax foreclosed properties) • Construction • HOME funding request: $1,583,471 ■ $500,000 in project costs ($29,411 /home) ■ $117,884 in operating expenses • Total project costs: $2,283,471 • The requested HOME amount would only fund approximately 20% of this project • Construction cost of each home was over $134,000 • TCHP had applied for other sources to cover the gap in funding • Community support for project Versa Development — Sedona Ranch, 6101 Old Denton Road — Council District 2 • Proposal: new construction of a 172 -unit senior multi - family complex • HOME funding request: $1,400,000.00 • Total project costs: $19,259,277.00 • Scope of Work: • Acquisition and New Construction • Community room with business and computer center plus a library • Support services offered to residents Ms. Garcia completed her presentation. Committee Member Espino requested to go back and review the requests for the CHDO projects. He referenced the project in District 5, Cornerstone Assistance Network, with homes at 1,400 square feet. He also referenced the exterior of the house as wood rather than masonry. CITY OF FORT WORTH CITY COUNCIL HOUSING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE December 7, 2010 Page 16 of 32 Presentation Regarding Recommendations for Proposed HOME Proiects (cont'd) (Agenda Item 6) He referenced the elevations shown on Slide 8. Ms. Garcia indicated that the exterior would be Hardy board exterior, rather than masonry. Committee Member Espino indicated that with the attached garage to the house, he pointed out that the City Council had previously indicated that they did not want the garage frontage to be the predominate feature of the front of the house. Ms. Garcia explained that the 1,400 square feet, only included the living area and would not include the garage area. Committee Member Moss stated that the housing projects to be constructed in District 5 by Cornerstone had gone through a planning process and guidelines had been developed for that project to follow. As Committee Member Espino referenced various slides, Ms. Garcia showed again the elevations and photographs of the proposed houses. Committee Member Espino requested to view again Slides 15 and 16 showing the elevation and photograph of the proposed housing for the Como Neighborhood by the Neighborhood Land Corporation, which were 1,100 square feet. He referenced Slides 17 and 18. He also referenced Slides 21 and 22. Ms. Garcia explained those houses had a detached garage that was located behind the house. He then referenced Slide 41, showing the elevations for the Bonnie Brae Estates and pointed out that the garage appeared very predominate on the two elevations shown. There was further discussion on these elevations. As this project was in District 4, Committee Member Scarth indicated that the designs met the City's Subdivision Ordinance and the front porches did stick out further than the front of the garage, approximately 8 feet. He advised that this was not evident from the elevation drawings. In further discussion, Committee Member Espino requested the square footage of those houses. Ms. Garcia indicated that she had not included that information in the presentation. Committee Member Espino reiterated his concern regarding the issue of having the garage be the predominate feature of the front of the house. He indicated all of his concerns had been answered. Ms. Garcia presented a slide showing the staff recommendations for Non -CHDO Funds as follows: Staff Recommendations for Non — CHDO Funds Organization CD RFP HOME Request Staff Score Recommendations Itex Group Pilgrim Valley Manor 8 72 5800,000 $0 (L[HTC) CITY OF FORT WORTH CITY COUNCIL HOUSING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE December 7, 2010 Page 17 of 32 Presentation Regarding Recommendations for Proposed HOME Proiects (cont'd) LDC Housing — 2508 S.

He indicated that he hoped that these projects would receive the tax credit funding that they were seeking. CITY OF FORT WORTH CITY COUNCIL HOUSING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE December 7, 2010 Page 18 of 32 Presentation Regarding Recommendations for Proposed HOME Projects (cont'd) (Agenda Item 6) Committee Member Scarth pointed out that the Bonnie Brae project only missed receiving the required funds by four (4) points last year, so he was glad to see that it was in a position to receive the funding this year. He indicated that he was present at the neighborhood meeting when they supported this project. He indicated that this was the third time that this project had been submitted; therefore, he was pleased to see it in the ranking. Committee Member Moncrief requested to know if the City staff felt satisfied that these products were going to be sustainable and if these products represented the City's priorities of responsible building and rebuilding neighborhoods. Ms. Garcia indicated that the answer was "yes." Ms. Garcia added that the products used in these projects were going to be of the highest quality and she added that she felt these housing projects were going to be amazing. It was the consensus of the committee to move forward these recommendations to the full City Council for consideration. This concluded the presentation and discussions on this agenda item. Presentation on Community Development Projects (Agenda Item 7) Chairman Jordan indicated that this presentation contained really good news for the City. Jay Chapa, Director of Housing and Economic Development Department, spoke before the committee regarding the Community Development Division Projects. He spoke about the combination of the Housing Department with the Department of Economic and Community Development and the amount of work that they had been putting out. Using a PowerPoint presentation, Mr. Chapa updated the committee on the status of their accomplishments with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) issues over the past year as follows: • Findings that were cleared this year were 31 that had resulted from the past several years • Major Milestones • Sale of the building at 2909 Mitchell Blvd., which was to become a clinic • Closure of Mercado Building findings with the pay back of the CDBG funds • Closing of certain activities in the IDIS accounts of HUD CITY OF FORT WORTH CITY COUNCIL HOUSING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE December 7, 2010 Page 19 of 32 Presentation on Community Development Proiects (cont'd) (Agenda Item 7) ➢ 240 CDBG ➢ 90 HOME ■ First time in at least 8 years, HUD found that "the city has the capacity to carry out its approved programs in a timely manner" ➢ Since at least 2002 HUD "questioned the city's capacity to carry out its approved programs" Mr. Chapa commended his staff on the work that they had done to accomplish the above standing with HUD. At this time, Chairman Jordan asked Mr. Chapa to repeat this information. He pointed out how important this was and referenced the number of years the City had trouble with carrying out the HUD programs in a timely manner and the City Council had been placed in a position to have to live through those problems. He pointed out this was a big deal and was a "foot stomper." Mr. Chapa read the statement again and Chairman Jordan congratulated him on this progress. He presented a map of the Central City Target Area that was identified in the color blue, with the area targeted for economic development outlined in the color red. He indicated that two (2) staffing positions had been identified to go out and seek economic development for that area in an aggressive manner. He advised that now with the federal funding, the department could add to their resources. He presented an organizational chart of the department as it existed today for the community development group. He pointed out that this group administered approximately $5 million in federal funds in addition to non - federal fund projects. Mr. Chapa then went around the room and recognized his staff members that were present. Those present in the room were Mark Folden, Development Project Coordinator (CDGB); Avis Chaisson, Development Project Coordinator (HOME); and Ryan Hayden, Development Project Coordinator (HOME).

Chairman Jordan opened the floor for questions and /or comments. Committee Member Moncrief commended the staff on their work and particularly the rapid housing for the homeless people that was part of the City's Directions Home project. He pointed out that it was working and it was having an impact. He requested that the City staff return to Slide 57. This slide contained information about the demolition of properties. Committee Member Moncrief indicated that he felt the City had more requests for demolition of condemned property than there was funding available to do what needed to be done. He reviewed the contents of the slide and requested to know the current demand; i.e., the number of properties that still needed to be demolished. Mr. Chapa stated that according to Brandon Bennett, Director of Code Compliance, they could use as much money as possible to address this issue. Mr. Chapa clarified that he would be coming back to the City Council in January of 2011 with an overview of the amount of CDBG funds that would be available and put together an action plan for the expenditure of those funds. CITY OF FORT WORTH CITY COUNCIL HOUSING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE December 7, 2010 Page 31 of 32 Presentation on Community Development Projects (cont'd) (Agenda Item 7) Committee Member Moncrief then referenced the issue about the City finally being in compliance with HUD. He referenced a business function that he had attended earlier in the morning and that he talked with HUD Field Office Director Bob Cook about being in compliance with HUD and Mr. Cook's comments about the City now having a better working relationship with HUD than it ever had in the past. Committee Member Moncrief congratulated Mr. Chapa on this work and to the staff for their efforts. He added that they were setting the proper municipal example of how to cooperate with different levels of government to the benefit of the citizens who deserved the services that the City employees provided. Committee Member Espino requested that when Mr. Chapa came back before the committee in January he felt that they needed to look at monies that would be available for demolition. He added what he was seeing in the northern area, i.e., Riverside area, and the Central City area were substandard structures that needed to be demolished. He encouraged Mr. Chapa to get with the City's Code Compliance Department Director to see what were the priority sites for demolition. He pointed out that there could also be some substandard properties that could be tax foreclosed as they owed outstanding taxes. He explained that he was not sure how this would work; however, he encouraged the staff to look at this issue as there were many substandard structures that needed to be demolished. Mr. Chapa explained that since his department also oversaw the real property for the City, they could look at the properties that owed back taxes and move them quicker through the system. Committee Member Moss indicated that he felt it was an impressive report; however, he indicated that he still had concerns about his district, specifically the model blocks programs that were in his district and he had been pushing to get some infill housing written into those plans. He indicated the City really needed to start moving on that issue. He added that he was getting a lot of private investment coming into the district doing infill housing but that was a major, major problem in his district and he did not really see that happening in his district. Chairman Jordan also referenced the demolition issue and indicated that he felt it would be good to have an all inclusive report from all funding resources on demolition projects that have been accomplished in the City and what other projects were being done. He pointed out that Granbury Hills Apartments project was also demolished; however, it was done with other funding sources. He added that he felt a lot of progress had been made; however, there was more work to be done. CITY OF FORT WORTH CITY COUNCIL HOUSING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE December 7, 2010 Page 32 of 32 Presentation on Community Development Proiects (cont'd) (Agenda Item 7) Chairman Jordan also expressed appreciation to Mr. Chapa and his staff for the work that they have done to clean up the department and the issues with HUD and he asked Mr. Chapa to take that word back to his staff.
