CDBG Funds will be disbursed to Agency upon City's approval of Reimbursement Requests including submission of Complete Documentation to City in compliance with Section 9. If Agency expends all funds budgeted for the Program prior to September 30, 2024, City may hold back a small amount of the CDBG Funds until the end of the term. During this interim period, Agency must continue to submit Attachment III — Client Data Report in EXHIBIT "D" — Reimbursement Forms monthly. It is expressly agreed by the Parties that any CDBG Funds not spent or approved for reimbursement to Agency shall remain with City. 5.3 Program Performance Milestones, Review and Corrective Action Plans 5.3.1 Agency represents that the Program will achieve the following milestones in accordance with EXHIBIT "A" — Program S Expenditures Unduplicated Clients as Month specified in EXHIBIT "A" — Program Summary 3 25% 25% 6 50% 50% 9 75% 75% 12 100% 100% 5.3.2 Failure of Agency to meet these milestones or a material deviation from them as outlined in this Section 5.3 is a breach of this Contract. For the purpose of this Section, "material deviation" shall mean more than 10% lower than the specified goal. In the event of such breach, City reserves the right in its sole option to (i) delay or withhold payment of Reimbursement Requests, (ii) institute a Corrective Action Plan ("CAP") as described below, (iii) lower Agency's allocation of or deobligate all CDBG Funds, (iv) terminate this Contract, or any combination of the above options. 5.3.2.1 Policy. To ensure the Program meets the client goals provided by Agency and included herein, City will periodically review Program performance to ensure the expenditure of the funds is roughly proportional to the CDBG 51% PSA CONTRACT 2023-24 Page 4 Junior Achievement of the Chisholm Trail, Inc. Rev:09/27/2023 number of eligible, unduplicated clients being served, as described above in 5.3.1. City expects that most programs will expend funds in a proportional amount to clients served, but City reserves the ability to take into account unique program characteristics that may impact the ratio between expenditures and clients served. 5.3.2.2 Review. At the end of each quarter, City will review the information in the required reports provided to City by Agency. City will review the amount of funds expended compared to the percentage of eligible, unduplicated clients served. If City believes in its sole discretion that Agency is (i) in danger of not spending the full amount of the funds allocated, (ii) in danger of expending all funds prior to serving 100% of the unduplicated client goal (meaning the percentage of funds expended relative to the overall funding allocated is not within 10% of the percentage of eligible, unduplicated clients served relative to the overall client goal), or is (iii) in danger of not otherwise meeting the performance goals within this Contract, City will notify Agency and set up a Program Review Meeting ("Review Meeting"). Failure by Agency to attend the Review Meeting is considered a breach of this contract and City may invoke any and all remedies included herein. During the Review Meeting, City and Agency will review the information provided, the Program, and discuss any concerns. If the City believes that no additional action is needed to ensure Agency's performance, no additional requirements will be put in place; however, if the City, in its sole discretion, believes that additional requirements are needed to ensure Agency's performance, City may require the Agency to enter into a Corrective Action Plan ("CAP") or may move forward with deobligating funds from the Contract. 5.3.2.3 Corrective Action Plans. A CAP will be unique to the Agency and the Program and will be designed to ensure that the Agency (i) expends the funds allocated to it by the City, and (ii) serves the required number of unduplicated clients through the Program. A CAP may require additional outreach or marketing, additional reporting, additional monitoring, or any other mechanism that will reasonably ensure the Program goals are met and that expenditures are roughly proportional to the number of eligible, unduplicated clients served. 5.3.2.4 Deobligation of Funds If after any quarterly review the City determines that a CAP will not be sufficient to ensure that the Agency (i) expends the funds allocated to it by the City, and (ii) serves the required number of unduplicated clients through the Program, City shall be able to deobligate a portion of the funds provided to Agency that is at -risk of not being expended or that is the proportional amount of funds compared to the number of eligible, unduplicated clients that are anticipated to not be served. Any deobligation shall be in the form of a contract amendment. By way of example, if an agency was allocated $100,000 and was required to serve 100 unduplicated clients, if that agency was expected to only be able to serve 75% of its client goal, then City would allow agency to keep 75% of the allocated funding and deobligate 25% of the funds to correspond with the 25% of clients that are anticipated to not be served. 5.3.3 Failure to comply with the Corrective Action Plan (CAP), meet the Program Goals, or otherwise comply with 340 unduplicated clients may, in City's sole discretion, disqualify Agency for consideration under the City's Request for Proposals for the 2024-2025 Program Year for federal grant funds. 5.3.4 Amendments to performance milestones regarding CDBG Funds must be approved by the Director in writing, with such approval being in the Director's sole discretion. If Director approves the Agency's proposed amended performance milestones (as approved, the "Amended Performance Milestones"), then the Amended Performance Milestones shall be memorialized in a written amendment to this Contract. The Amended Performance Milestones will take effect on the first day of the month following the month in which the Contract Amendment is executed unless otherwise specified in the amendment. Notwithstanding the above, any amendments to this Contract shall not reduce the number of Unduplicated Clients stated in Section 5.3.3 and in EXHIBIT "A" - Program Summary. CDBG 51% PSA CONTRACT 2023-24 Page 5 Junior Achievement of the Chisholm Trail, Inc. Rev:09/27/2023 5.4 Identify Program Expenses Paid with CDBG Funds. Agency will keep accounts and records in such a manner that City may readily identify and account for Program expenses reimbursed with CDBG Funds. These records shall be made available to City for audit purposes and shall be retained as required hereunder. 5.5 Meet National Objective. Agency shall ensure that the activities carried out in the Program will meet the National Objective. 5.6 Program Subcontracts.

Agency must use the annual income definition in 24 CFR Part 5.609 to establish client income and must use the most current HUD Income Guidelines. The income of all Program clients must be documented and at least 51 % of them must be Income Eligible Clients. 6.1.1.1 If Agency serves both Fort Worth and non -Fort Worth clients, the proportion of Program costs allocated to the CDBG-funded portion of the Program Budget must be consistent with the proportion of Fort Worth clients to all clients. 6.1.1.2 All Program clients must be reported on EXHIBIT "D" — Reimbursement Forms, Attachment III. All Program clients whose income has not been verified will be deemed to not be Income Eligible Clients and shall not be included in the 51%. 6.1.2 Verification of Program Eligibility. 6.1.2.1 At the end of each quarter during the Contract term, Agency shall verify CDBG Program Eligibility by confirming that at least 51 % of clients served by the Program to date are Income Eligible Clients as reported on Attachment III. 6.1.2.2 If Agency fails to verify Program eligibility on a quarterly basis in compliance with this Section, Agency will have 30 calendar days or until the next monthly invoice to cure. 6.1.2.3 City will notify Agency by e-mail within 14 calendar days if the Program performance milestones were not met within the requirements outlined in this Section 6.1.2.2. Agency will have an additional 7 calendar days from the date of the e-mail notice to meet these requirements. CDBG 51% PSA CONTRACT 2023-24 Page 6 Junior Achievement of the Chisholm Trail, Inc.

Failure to perform all the Contract terms may result in civil, criminal or administrative penalties, including, but not limited to those set out in this Contract. 10.9 Termination for Cause. CDBG 51% PSA CONTRACT 2023-24 Page 14 Junior Achievement of the Chisholm Trail, Inc. Rev:09/27/2023 10.9.1 City may terminate this Contract in the event of Agency's default, inability, or failure to perform subject to notice, grace and cure periods. In the event City terminates this Contract for cause, all CDBG Funds awarded but unpaid to Agency pursuant to this Contract shall be immediately rescinded and Agency shall have no further right to such funds and any CDBG Funds already paid to Agency must be repaid to City within 30 days of termination. Failure to repay such CDBG Funds within 30 days will result in City exercising all legal remedies available to City under this Contract.

In terminating in accordance with 2 CFR Part 200, Appendix II, this Contract may be terminated in whole or in part only as follows: 10.10.1 By City with the consent of Agency in which case the Parties shall agree upon the termination conditions, including the effective date and in the case of partial termination, the portion to be terminated; or 10.10.2 By Agency upon at least 30 days written notification to City, setting forth the reasons for such termination, the effective date, and in the case of partial termination, the portion to be terminated. In the case of a partial termination, City may terminate the Contract in its entirety if City determines in its sole discretion that the remaining portion of the Contract to be performed or CDBG Funds to be spent will not accomplish the purposes for which the Contract was made. 10.11 Dissolution of Agency Terminates Contract. This Contract shall terminate in the event Agency is dissolved or ceases to exist. In the event of termination under this Section, all CDBG Funds are subject to repayment and/or City may exercise all of its remedies under this Contract. 10.12 Non -appropriation of Funds. In the event no funds or insufficient funds are appropriated by City in any fiscal period for any payments due hereunder, City will notify Agency of such occurrence and this Agreement shall terminate on the last day of the fiscal period for which appropriations were received without penalty or expense to City of any kind whatsoever, except as to the portions of the payments herein agreed upon for which funds have been appropriated. 10.13 Reversion of Assets.

REPAYMENT OF CDBG FUNDS. All CDBG Funds are subject to repayment in the event the Program does not meet the requirements of this Contract or in the CDBG Regulations. If Agency takes any action that results in the City being required to repay all or any portion of the CDBG Funds to HUD, Agency agrees it will reimburse City within thirty days of notice from the City for such repayment. Additionally, if Agency takes any action that results in CDBG 51% PSA CONTRACT 2023-24 Page 15 Junior Achievement of the Chisholm Trail, Inc. Rev:09/27/2023 City receiving a finding from HUD about the Program, whether or not repayment of all or any portion of the CDBG Funds is required of City, Agency agrees City may require that 10% of the CDBG Funds be repaid to City as liquidated damages. The Parties agree that City's damages in the event of either repayment to HUD being required or receiving a finding from HUD are uncertain and would be difficult to ascertain and may include an impact on City's CDBG grant or other federal grant funds, in addition to the finding by HUD or a required repayment of funds to HUD by City. Therefore, the Parties agree that payment under this Section of 10% of the CDBG Funds by Agency to City is liquidated damages and not a penalty. 12. CHANGE IN NON-PROFIT STATUS. Agency must provide City with written notification of any changes to its non-profit status within 15 calendar days of being notified of the change. Regardless of notice by Agency, if the non-profit status of Agency changes after the date of this Contract, City may but is not obligated to, terminate this Contract. In the event of termination under this Section 12, all CDBG Funds awarded but not yet paid to Agency pursuant to this Contract shall be immediately rescinded and Agency shall have no further right to such funds. City, in its sole discretion, may require that any CDBG Funds already paid to Agency must be repaid to City within 30 calendar days of termination under this Section. 13. SURVIVAL. Any provision of this Contract that pertains to auditing, monitoring, indemnity obligations, client income eligibility, record keeping and reports, City ordinances, or applicable CDBG requirements, and any default and enforcement provisions necessary to enforce such provisions, shall survive the termination of this Contract for 5 years after the Contract term ends and shall be enforceable by City against Agency. For purposes of this Contract, unless this contract is earlier terminated, this 5 year period for survival of certain Contract provisions is deemed to begin on October 1, 2023, or October 1, 2024, if this Contract is extended and end no later than September 30, 2029. 14.

A Request for Proposals from social service agencies and nonprofit organizations seeking grant funding was published on February 1, 2023. All proposals were received on March 15, 2023. Staff reviewed all proposals and developed recommendations for the allocation of estimated funding from HUD based on the capacity of applicant organizations, grant experience, fiscal stability, and compliance with applicable federal regulations. One public hearing was held on April 12, 2023 to provide citizens the opportunity to participate in the development of the Annual Action Plan. Recommendations for award amounts were considered and adopted by the Community Development Council on May 10, 2023. These funding recommendations were presented in City Council Work Session on August 1, 2023. A 30-day public comment period was held from June 30, 2023 to July 31, 2023. Notice of this public comment period was published in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram on June 29, 2023; in the Cleburne Times Review on July 6; in the Weatherford Democrat on July 8; and in La Vida News on July 13. Any comments received are maintained by the Neighborhood Services Department in accordance with federal regulations. The City held two public hearings as a part of the HUD required citizen participation process. The first public hearing was held by staff on July 12, 2023, and the second public hearing is scheduled for the City Council on August 8, 2023.

The 2023-2024 Annual Action Plan will be submitted to HUD by August 15, 2023. Indirect costs totaling approximately $393,106.92 could be charged to these grants, as the Neighborhood Services Department indirect cost rate is 28.10% in the City's most recent Cost Allocation Plan. A waiver of these costs is requested to allow allocation of these funds to further support the programs and services to assist low -to -moderate income citizens. Mayor & Council Communication (M&C) 22-0569 dated August 9, 2022 increased the annual funding amount of the City's Priority Repair Program (PRP) from $1,100,000.00 to $2,000,000.00.

This will require an increase in the expenditure authority for the PRP and the contracting authority for PRP agreements, resulting in an annual increase of $500,000.00. A total five year (Fiscal Years 2023-2027) contract authority of $46,858,546.53 for PRP is necessary to facilitate the increase in funding from CDBG.

These programs are available in ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS. Each of these grants is an entitlement grant rather than a competitive grant received from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Entitlement grants provide funds to agencies based on a formula, prescribed in legislation or regulation, rather than based on review. These specific grants are allocated to the City of Fort Worth based on population size and per capita income each year. The grants have been consistently awarded to the City since 1974 with the inception of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) through the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. The Emergency Shelter (renamed Solutions) Grant (ESG) was authorized in 1987 through the McKinney-Vento Homelessness Assistance Act. The HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) and the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) Program were authorized in 1990 through the Cranston -Gonzales National Affordable Housing Act of 1990. With these grants, administrative and program delivery allocations support approximately 72 FTE positions in the Neighborhood Services Department, which is funded nearly 70% with various grants including these entitlement grants. Positions funded with HUD Entitlement grants are subject to grant availability. In the event of a grant award being decreased or eliminated, Neighborhood Services Department would review programs and services funded by the grants and determine a level of service and staffing that aligns with the available funding. Alternatives to consider may include staff and program reductions or eliminations. FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION: The Director of Finance 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 Operating Federal Fund. The Neighborhood Services Department (and Financial Management Services) will be responsible for the collection and deposit of funds due to the City. Prior to an expenditure being incurred, the Neighborhood Services Department has the responsibility to validate the availability of funds. This is a reimbursement grant.
