LX ZVO.
WHEREAS, the City Council of Fort Worth agrees with and has
a commitment to accomplishing the objectives of the Housing and Com-
munity Development Act of 1974; and
WHEREAS, the City Council is sensitive to the expressed needs
of citizens in neighborhoods within Community Development Block Grant
target areas; and
WHEREAS, the City Council is supportive of efforts to rehabi-
litate and renovate existing structures for use when feasible; and
WHEREAS, the City Council is aware of the need to make available
cultural arts to youth in low and moderate income areas; and
WHEREAS, the City Council is in favor of leveraging Community
Development Block Grant funds with matching funds from other sources to
the greatest extent possible; and
WHEREAS, the City Council feels an interpretation of the
Community Development Block Grant regulations should be flexible enough
to allow the utilization of an existing structure instead of constructing
new space within a multi-purpose center for cultural arts activities.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
THAT the City Council of Fort Worth, Texas, does hereby jointly and
unanimously support the request of its Community Development Council
and the Sojourner Truth Players, Inc. , that the Department of Housing
and Urban Development interpret the Community Development Block Grant
regulations in such a way as to permit the renovation of this cultural
arts center as an eligible Community Development Block Grant funded
activity.
