DISCUSSION: The City of Fort Worth's (City's) 2023-2027 Consolidated Plan assesses community and affordable housing needs and sets strategic priorities and goals for use of federal grants funds from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for a five-year period. These priorities and goals are to be addressed with Annual Action Plans that summarize the major housing and community development activities and proposed expenditures for each of the five years. These priorities and goals were developed to be consistent with strategies and initiatives previously adopted by the City Council, as well as through an assessment of community needs. This included Citywide public meetings conducted by JQuad Planning Group, the consultant contracted to prepare the Consolidated Plan in collaboration with the Neighborhood Services Department staff. The recommended Consolidated Plan priorities and goals for use of HUD grant funds over the next five years are summarized below. PRIORITY NEED I GOAL (Promote Affordable Housing (Increase neighborhood stability through homeownership assistance; for Renters and Owners Fair Housing efforts, and supportive services for renters and owners l Housing Preservation and Preserve and expand the supply of quality affordable housing Rehabilitation throughout the City Neighborhood Improvement nhance neighborhood development and revitalization throughout and Revitalization the City Economic Empowerment Support programs and services providing employment training and and Financial Resilience career readiness programs that promote self-sufficiency and household stability Support programs and services to prepare children and youth for Children and Youth Services success through educational, mentoring, training and related programs Support programs and services for older adults to access resources Aging In Place needed to age in their homes, while maintaining both their independence and quality of life ccessibility Improvements Improve accessibility in public facilities and housing, including Ilarchitectural barrier removal Homelessness Prevention Provide housing and support services for persons experiencing and and Special Needs Support at -risk of experiencing homelessness; support efforts to achieve permanent housing (Healthy Living and Wellness ��health Support programs and services to improve the mental and physical of low -to moderate -income Fort Worth families The City's 2023-2024 Annual Action Plan summarizes the major housing and community development activities and proposed expenditures for the program year beginning October 1, 2023 and ending September 30, 2024 for use of federal grant funds totaling $13,452,621.00 from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) from the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), and httn://anns.cfwnet.ori2/counci1 racket/me review. asp?ID=31258&councildate=8/8/2023 8/17/2023 M&C Review Page 3 of 7 Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) grant programs. It also summarizes the use of program income resulting from activities using prior years' CDBG and HOME funds, the primary purpose of which is to benefit low -and moderate -income persons in Fort Worth. ESG funds primarily benefit persons experiencing homelessness, and HOPWA funds primarily benefit low -and moderate -income persons with HIV/AIDS. 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. A summary of staffs final funding recommendations is provided below in Tables 1,2, and 3. A Powerpoint presentation listing funding recommendations is also attached. 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. Approval of this M&C authorizes an additional increase of annual funding from $2,000,000.00 to $2,500,000.00. 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.

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.

CONTINUED ON BACK Bed Btmgs A Guide for Rental -Housing Residents (Adapted with permission from the National ApartmentAssociation) Bed bugs are wingless, flat, broadly oval -shaped in- sects, with a typical lifespan of 6 to 12 months. Capa- ble of reaching the size of an apple seed at full growth, bed bugs are distinguishable by their reddish -brown color, although after feeding on the blood of hu- mans and warm-blooded animals —their sole food source —the bugs assume a distinctly blood -red hue until digestion is complete. Bed bugs don't discriminate. Bed bugs' increased presence acrossthe United States in recent decades is due largely to a surge in interna- tional travel and trade. It's no surprise then that bed bugs have been found in some of the fanciest hotels and apartment buildings in some of the nation's most expensive neighborhoods. Nonetheless, false claims that associate bed bugs presence with poor hygiene and uncleanliness have caused rental -housing residents, out of shame, to avoid notifying owners of their presence. This only causes the bed bugs to spread. While bed bugs are more attracted to clutter, they're certainly not discouraged by cleanliness. Bottom line: bed bugs know no social or economic bounds; claims to the contrary are false. Bed bugs don't transmit disease. There exists no scientific evidence that bed bugs carry disease. In fact, federal agencies tasked with addressing pests of public -health concern, namely the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, have re- fused to elevate bed bugs to the threat level posed by disease -carrying pests. Again, claims associating bed bugs with disease are false. Learn to identify bed bugs. Bed bugs can often be found in, around, behind, un- der, or between: • Bedding • Bed frames • Mattress seams • Upholstered furniture, especially under cushions and along seams • Wood furniture, especially along areas where draw- ers slide • Curtains and draperies • Window and door frames • Ceiling and wall junctions • Crown moldings • Wall hangings and loose wallpaper • Carpeting and walls (carpet can be pulled away from the wall and tack strip) • Cracks and crevices in walls and floors • Electronic devices, such as smoke and carbon -mon- oxide detectors Because bed bugs leave some people with itchy welts similar to those made by fleas and mosquitoes, the cause of welts like that often go misdiagnosed. One distinguishing sign is that bed -bug marks often ap- pear in succession on exposed areas of the skin such as the face, neck, and arms. But sometimes a person has no visible reaction at all from direct contact with bed bugs. While bed bugs typically act at night, they often leave signs of their presence through fecal markings of a red to dark -brown color, visible on or near beds. Blood stains also tend to appear when the bugs have been squashed, usually by an unsuspecting sleeping host. And because they shed, it's not uncommon to find the skin casts they leave behind. Prevent bed -bug encounters when traveling. Because humans serve as bed bugs' main mode of transportation, it's especially important to be mindful of bed bugs when away from home. Experts attribute the spread of bed bugs across all regions of the Unit- ed States largely to increases in travel and trade, both here and abroad. So travelers are encouraged to take a few minutes on arriving to thoroughly inspect their accommodations before unpacking. Because bed bugs can easily travel from one place to another, it's also a good practice to thoroughly inspect luggage and belongings for bed bugs before heading home. Know the bed -bug dos and don'ts. • Don't bring used furniture from unknown sourc- es into your dwelling. Countless bed -bug infesta- tions have stemmed directly from bringing home second-hand and abandoned furniture. Unless you are absolutely sure that a piece of second- hand furniture is bed -bug -free, you should as- sume that a seemingly nice looking leather couch, for example, is sitting curbside waiting to be hauled off to the landfill because it's teeming with bed bugs. • Do inspect rental furniture, including mattresses and couches, for the presence of bed bugs before moving it into your dwelling. • Do address bed -bug sightings immediately. Rent- al -housing residents who suspect the presence of bed bugs in their unit must immediately notify the owner. • Don't try to treat bed -bug infestations yourself. Health hazards associated with the misapplica- tion of traditional and nontraditional chemical - based insecticides and pesticides poses too great a risk to you, your family and pets, and your neighbors. • Do comply with eradication protocol. If the deter- mination is made that your unit is indeed playing host to bed bugs, you must comply with the bed- bug -eradication protocol set forth by both your owner and their designated pest -management company.

LEASE ADDENDUM FOR SATELLITE DISH OR ANTENNA Under a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) order, you as our resident have a right to install a transmitting or receiving satellite dish or antenna on the leased premises, subject to FCC limitations. We as a rental housing owner are allowed to Impose reasonable restrictions relating to such Installation. You are required to comply with these restrictions as a condition of installing such equipment. This addendum contains the restrictions that you and we agree to follow. 1. Addendum. This is an addendum to the lease between you and us for Apt. No. in the The Logan AL LP Apartments in Texas OR the house, duplex, etc. located at (street address) , Texas. 2. Number and size. You may install 1 satellite dish(es) or antenna(s) on the leased premises. A satellite dish may not exceed one meter (3.3 feet) in diameter. Antennas that only transmit signals or that are not covered by 47 CFR §1.4000 are prohibited. 3. Location. Your satellite dish or antenna must be located: (1) inside your dwelling; or (2) in an area outside your dwelling such as a balcony, patio, yard, etc. of which you have exclusive use under your lease. Installation is not permitted on any parking area, roof, exterior wall, window, window sill, fence, or common area, or in an area that other residents are allowed to use. A satellite dish or antenna may not protrude beyond the vertical and horizontal space that is leased to you for your exclusive use. 4. Safety and non-interference. Your Installation: (1) must comply with all applicable ordinances and laws and all reasonable safety standards; (2) may not interfere with our cable, telephone or electrical systems or those of neighboring properties; (3) may not be connected to our telecommunication systems; and (4) may not be connected to our electrical system except by plugging into a 110-volt duplex receptacle. If the satellite dish or antenna is placed in a permitted outside area, it must be safely secured by one of three methods: (1) securely attaching it to a portable, heavy object such as a small slab of concrete; (2) clamping it to a part of the building's exterior that lies within your leased premises (such as a balcony or patio railing); or (3) any other method approved by us in writing. No other methods are allowed. We may require reasonable screening of the satellite dish or antenna by plants, etc., so long as it does not impair reception. S. Signal transmission from exterior dish or antenna to interior of dwelling. Under the FCC order, you may not damage or alter the leased premises and may not drill holes through outside walls, door jams, windowsills, etc. If your satellite dish or antenna is installed outside your dwelling (on a balcony, patio, etc.), the signals received by it may be transmitted to the interior of your dwelling only by the following methods: (1) running a "flat" cable under a door jam or windowsill in a manner that does not physically alter the premises and does not interfere with proper operation of the door or window; (2) running a traditional or flat cable through a pre-existing hole in the wall (that will not need to be enlarged to accommodate the cable); (3) connecting cables "through a window pane," similar to how an external car antenna for a cellular phone can be connected to inside wiring by a device glued to either side of the window —without drilling a hole through the window; (4) wireless transmission of the signal from the satellite dish or antenna to a device inside the dwelling; or (5) any other method approved by us in writing. 6. Safety in installation. In order to assure safety, the strength and type of materials used for installation must be approved by us. Installation must be done by a qualified person or company approved by us. Our approval will not be unreasonably withheld. An installer provided by the seller of the satellite dish or antenna is presumed to be qualified. T. Maintenance. You will have the sole responsibility for maintaining your satellite dish, antenna, and all related equipment. 8. Removal and damages. You must remove the satellite dish or antenna and all related equipment when you move out of the dwelling. In accordance with the TAA Lease Contract, you must pay for any damages and for the cost of repairs or repainting caused by negligence, carelessness, accident. or abuse which may be reasonably necessary to restore the leased premises to its condition prior to the installation of your satellite dish, antenna or related equipment. You will not be responsible for normal wear and tear. 9. Liability insurance and indemnity. You must take full responsibility for the satellite dish, antenna, and related equipment. If the dish or antenna is installed at a height or in some other way that could result in injury to others if it becomes unattached and falls, you must provide us with evidence of liability insurance to protect us against claims of personal injury and property damage to others, related to your satellite dish, antenna, and related equipment. The Insurance coverage must be $ 100000.00 , which is an amount reasonably determined by us to accomplish that purpose. Factors affecting the amount of insurance include height of installation above ground level, potential wind velocities, risk of the dish/antenna becoming unattached and falling on someone, etc. You agree to hold us harmless and indemnify us against any of the above claims by others. 10. Security deposit. Your security deposit (in your Lease Contract) is increased by an additional reasonable sum of $ 100.00 ❑ effective at time of installation or ❑ effective within days of installation to help protect us against possible repair costs, damages, or failure to remove the satellite dish, antenna and related equipment at time of move -out. Factors affecting any security deposit may vary, depending on: (1) how the dish or antenna is attached (nails, screws, lag bolts drilled into walls); (2) whether holes were permitted to be drilled through walls for the cable between the satellite dish and the TV; and (3) the difficulty and cost of repair or restoration after removal, etc. A security deposit increase does not imply a right to drill into or alter the leased premises. 11. When you may begin installation. You may start installation ofyour satellite dish, antenna, or related equipment only after you have: (1) signed this addendum; (2) provided us with written evidence of the liability insurance referred to in paragraph 9 of this addendum; (3) paid us the additional security deposit, if applicable, in paragraph 10; and (4) received our written approval, which may not be unreasonably withheld, of the installation materials and the person or company that will do the installation. 12. Miscellaneous. If additional satellite dishes or antennas are desired, an additional lease addendum must be executed.

Signatures of All Residents Signature of Owner or Owner's Representative Texas Apartment Association SIGNED 5/17/2023 AT 11:13AM CDT 11L� Mold Information and Prevention Addendum TEXAS APAR'I'hINN'I' ASSOCIATION Please note: We want to maintain a high -quality living environment for our residents. To help achieve this goal, it is important that we work together to minimize any mold growth in your dwelling. This addendum contains important information foryou, and responsibilities for both you and us. 1. Addendum. This Is an addendum to the Lease Contract executed by you, the resident or residents, on the dwelling you have agreed to rent. That dwelling is: Unit # The Loqan AL LP (name of apartments) or other dwelling located at (street address of house, duplex, etc.) City/State where dwelling Is located 2. About Mold. Mold is found everywhere in our environment, both Indoors and outdoors and In both new and old structures. Molds are nothing new —they are natural microscopic organisms that reproduce by spores.They have always been with us. In the environment, molds breakdown organic matter and use the end product for food. Without molds we would be struggling with large amounts of dead organic matter. Mold spores (like plant pollen) spread through the air and are commonly transported by shoes, clothing, and other materials.There is conflicting scientific evidence about how much mold must accumulate before it creates adverse health effects on people and animals. Even so, we must take appropriate precautions to prevent its buildup. 3. Preventing Mold Begins with You. to minimze the potential for mold growth In your dwelling, you must: Keep your dwelling clean —particularly the kitchen, bathroom, carpets, and floors. Regular vacuuming and mopping of the floors, plus cleaning hard surfaces using a household cleaner, are all Important to remove the household dirt and debris that harbor mold or food for mold. Throw away moldy food immediately. Remove visible moisture accumulations on windows, walls, ceilings, floors, and other surfaces as soon as reasonably possible. Look for leaks in washing -machine hoses and discharge lines —especially If the leak Is large enough for water to seep Into nearby walls. If your dwelling has them, turn on exhaust fans in the bathroom before showering and In the kitchen before cooking with open pots. Also when showering, keep the shower curtain inside the tub (or fully close the shower doors). Experts also recommend that after a shower or bath you (1) wipe moisture off shower walls, shower doors, the bathtub, and the bathroom floor; (2) leave the bathroom door open until all moisture on the mirrors and bathroom walls and tile surfaces has dissipated; and (3) hang up your towels and bath mats so they will completely dry out. Promptly notify us in writing about any air-conditioning or heating - system problems you discover. Follow any of our rules about replacing air filters. It's also good practice to open windows and doors periodically on days when the outdoor weather is dry (i.e., humidity is below 50%) to help humid areas of your dwelling dry out. Promptly notify us in writing of any signs of water leaks, water Infiltration, or mold. We will respond in accordance with state law and the Lease Contract to repair or remedy the situation as necessary. Resident or Residents (all sign below) (Name of Resident) (Name of Resident) (Name of Resident) (Name of Resident) (Name of Resident) (Name of Resident) 4. Avoiding Moisture Buildup. To avoid mold growth, it's important to prevent excess moisture buildup In your dwelling. Falling to promptly attend to leaks and moisture accumulations on dwelling surfaces can encourage mold growth, especially in places where they might get inside walls or ceilings. Prolonged moisture can come from a wide variety of sources, such as: rainwater leaking from roofs, windows, doors, and outside walls, as well as flood waters rising above floor level; overflows from showers, bathtubs, toilets, sinks, washing machines, dehumidifiers, refrigerator or air -conditioner drip pans, or clogged air -conditioner condensation lines; leaks from plumbing lines or fixtures, and leaks into walls from bad or missing grouting orcaulking around showers, bathtubs, or sinks, washing -machine hose leaks, plant -watering overflows, pet urine, cooking spills, beverage spills, and steam from excessive open -pot cooking; leaks from clothes -dryer discharge vents (which can put a lot of moisture into the air); and insufficient drying of carpets, carpet pads, shower walls, and bathroom floors. 5. Cleaning Mold. If small areas of mold have already accumulated on nonporous surfaces (such as ceramic tile, formica, vinyl flooring, metal, wood, or plastic), the Environmental Protection Agency recommends that you first clean the areas with soap (or detergent) and water and let the surface dry thoroughly. (Applying biocides without first cleaning away the dirt and oils from the surface is like painting over old paint without first cleaning and preparing the surface.) When the surface is dry —and within 24 hours of cleaning —apply a premixed spray - on household biocide such as Lysol Disinfectant", Original Pine -Sol° Cleaner, Tilex Mold & Mildew Remover* or Clorox' Clean-up* Cleaner + Bleach. (Note two things: First, only a few of the common household cleaners can actually kill mold. Second,Tilex and Clorox contain bleach, which can discolor or stain surfaces, so follow the instructions on the container.) Always clean and apply biocide to an area five orsixtimes largerthan any mold you see —mold can be present but not yetvisible to the naked eye. A vacuum cleaner with a high -efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter can be used to help remove nonvisible mold products from porous items such as fibers in sofas, chairs, drapes, and carpets — provided thefibers are completelydry. Machinewashing ordry-cleaning will remove mold from clothes. 6. Warning for Porous Surfaces and Large Surfaces. Do not clean or apply biocides to visible mold on porous surfaces such as sheetrock walls or cellings or to large areas of visible mold on nonporous surfaces. Instead, notify us in writing and wewill take appropriate action to comply with Section 92.051 et seq. of the Texas Property Code, subject to the special exceptions for natural disasters. 7. Compliance. Complying with this addendum will help prevent mold growth in your dwelling, and both you and we will be able to respond correctly If problems develop that could lead to mold growth.lfyou have questions about this addendum, please contact us at the management office or at the phone number shown in your Lease Contract. If you fail to comply with this addendum, you can be held responsible for property damage to the dwelling and any health problems that may result. We can't fix problems in your dwelling unless we know about them. Owner or Owner's Representative (sign below) Your are entitled to receive a copy of this Addendum after it is fully signed.

Always report emergencies to authorities first and then contact the management. Report any suspicious activity to the police first, and then follow up with a written notice to us. Know your neighbors. Watching out for each other is one of the best defenses against crime. Resident or Residents (all sign below) (Name of Resident) (Name of Resident) (Name of Resident) (Name of Resident) (Name of Resident) (Name of Resident) Always be aware of your surroundings and avoid areas that are not well -traveled or well -lit. • Keep your keys handy at all times when walking to your car or home. Do not go inside if you arrive home and find your door open. Call the police from another location and ask them to meet you before entering. Make sure door locks, window latches and sliding glass doors are properly secured at all times. Use the keyless deadbolt on your unit when you are at home. • Don't put your name or address on your key ring or hide extra keys in obvious places, like under a flower pot. If you lose a key or have concerns about key safety, we will rekey your locks at your expense, in accordance with paragraph 11 of the Lease. Check the door viewer before answering the door. Don't open the door if you don't know the person or have any doubts. Children who are old enough to take care of themselves should never let anyone inside when home without an adult. Regularly check your security devices, smoke alarms and other detection devices to make sure they are working properly. Alarm and detection device batteries should be tested monthly and replaced at least twice a year. Immediately report in writing (dated and signed) to us any needed repairs of security devices, doors, windows, smoke alarms and other detection devices , as well as any other malfunctioning safety devices on the property, such as broken access gates, burned out exterior lights, etc. Owner or Owner's Representative (sign below) Yourare entitled to receive a copy of this Addendum afteritis fullysigned. Keep itin a safe place. TAA Official Statewide Form 15-M, Revised January, 2015 Q SIGNED 5/172023 AT 11:13AM CDT LEASE ADDENDUM FOR ALLOCATING WATER/WASTEWATER COSTS 1. Addendum. This is an addendum to the TAA Lease Contract for Apt. No. in the The Locran Al LP Apartments in Texas. The terms of this addendum will control if the terms of the Lease and this addendum conflict. 2, Reason for allocation. When water and wastewater bills are paid 100 percent by the property owner, residents have no incentive to conserve water. This results in a waste of our state's natural resources and adds to the overhead of the property —and that usually means higher rents. Allocation of water bills saves money for residents because it encourages them to conserve water and wastewater. We as owners also have incentive to conserve because we are required by law to pay a portion of the total water bill(s) for the entire apartment community. 3. Your payment due date. Payment of your allocated water/wastewater bill is due 16 days after the date it is postmarked or hand delivered to your apartment. You agree to mail or deliver payment to the place indicated on your bill so that payment is received no later than the due date. You will pay a late charge of 5 percent of your water/wastewater bill if we don't receive timely payment. If you are late in paying the water bill, we may not cut off your water; but we may immediately exercise all other lawful remedies, including eviction —just like late payment of rent. 4. Allocation procedures. Your monthly rent under the TAA Lease Contract does not include a charge for water and wastewater. Instead, you will be receiving a separate bill from us each month for such utilities. We may include this item as a separate and distinct charge as part of a multi -item bill. We will allocate the monthly mastermeter water/wastewater bill(s) for the apartment community, based on an allocation method approved by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUC) and described below. The allocation method that we will use in calculating your bill is noted below and described in the following subdivision of Section 24.281 of the PUC rules (check only one): ❑ subdivision (i) actual occupancy; M subdivision (ii) ratio occupancy (PUC average for number of occupants in unit); ❑ subdivision (iii)average occupancy (PUC average for number of bedrooms in unit); ❑ subdivision (iv)combination of actual occupancy and square feet of the apartment; or ❑ subdivision (v) submetered hot/cold water, ratio to total. The normal date on which the utility company sends its monthly bill to us for the water/wastewater mastermeter is about the 16 day of the month. Within 10 days thereafter, we will try to allocate that mastermeter bill among our residents by allocated billings. s. Common area deduction. We will calculate your allocated share of the mastermetered water/wastewater bill according to PUC rules. Before calculating your portion of the bill, we will deduct for irrigation of landscaping and all other common area uses, as required by PUC rules. We will also deduct for any utility company base charges and customer service charges so that you won't be paying any part of such charges for vacant units. No administrative or other fees will be added to the total mastermeter water/wastewater bills) to be allocated unless expressly allowed by PUC rules. No other amounts will be included in the bill except your unpaid balances and any late fees you incur. If we fail to pay our mastermeter bill to the utility company on time and incur penalties or interest, no portion of such amounts will be included in your bill. 6. Change of allocation formula. The above allocation formula for determining your share of the mastermetered water/ wastewater bill cannot be changed except as follows: (1) the new formula is one approved by the PUC; (2) you receive notice of the new formula at least 35 days before it takes effect; and (3) you agree to the change in a signed lease renewal or signed mutual agreement. 7. Previous average. As required under PUC rules, you are notified that the average monthly bill for all dwelling units in the previous calendar year was $ 44.56 per unit, varying from $ 34.42 to $ 72.32 for the lowest to highest month's bills for any unit in the apartment community for this period, if such information is available. The above amounts do not reflect future changes in utility company water rates, weather variations, total water consumption, residents' water consumption habits, etc. 6. Right to examine records. During regular weekday office hours, you may examine: (1) our water/wastewater bills from the utility company; (2) our calculations of your monthly allocations; and (3) any other information available to you under PUC rules. Please give us reasonable advance notice to gather the data. Any disputes relating to the computation of your bill will be between you and us. s. PUC. Water allocation billing is regulated by the PUC. A copy of the rules is attached. This addendum complies with those rules. lo.Conservation efforts. We agree to use our best efforts to repair any water leaks inside or outside your apartment no later than 7 days after learning of them. You agree to use your best efforts to conserve water and notify us of leaks.

(d) Calculations for submetered utility service. The tenant's submetered charges must include the dwelling unit base charge and customer service charge, if applicable, and the gallonage charge and must be calculated each month as follows: (1) water utility service: the retail public utility's total monthly charges for water service (less dwelling unit base charges or customer service charges, if applicable), divided by the total monthly water consumption measured by the retail public utility to obtain an average water cost per gallon, liter, or cubic foot, multiplied by the tenant's monthly consumption or the volumetric rate charged by the retail public utility to the owner multiplied by the tenant's monthly water consumption; (2) wastewater utility service: the retail public utility's total monthly charges for wastewater service (less dwelling unit base charges or customer service charges, if applicable), divided by the total monthly water consumption measured by the retail public utility, multiplied by the tenant's monthly consumption or the volumetric wastewater rate charged by the retail public utility to the owner multiplied by the tenant's monthly water consumption; (3) service charge for manufactured home rental community or the owner or manager of apartment house: a manufactured home rental community or apartment house may charge a service charge in an amount not to exceed 9% of the tenant's charge for submetered water and wastewater service, except when; (A) the resident resides in a unit of an apartment house that has received an allocation of low income housing tax credits under Texas Government Code, Chapter 2306, Subchapter DD; or (B) the apartment resident receives tenant -based voucher assistance under United Slates Housing Act of 1937 Section 8, (42 United States Code, §1437f); and (4) final bill on move -out for submetered service: if a tenant moves out during a billing period, the owner may calculate a final bill for the tenant before the owner receives the bill for that period from the retail public utility. If the owner is billing using the average water or wastewater cost per gallon, liter, or cubic foot as described in paragraph (1) of this subsection, the owner may calculate the tenant's bill by calculating the tenant's average volumetric rate for the last three months and multiplying that average volumetric rate by the tenant's consumption for the billing period. (a) Calculations for allocated utility service. (1) Before an owner may allocate the retail public utility's master meter bill for water and sewer service to the tenants, the owner shall first deduct: (A) dwelling unit base charges or customer service charge, If applicable; and (B) common area usage such as installed landscape irrigation systems, pools, and laundry rooms, if any, as follows: (i) if all common areas are separately metered or submetered, deduct the actual common area usage; (ii) if common areas that are served through the master meter that provides water to the dwelling units are not separately metered or submetered and there is an Installed landscape irrigation system, deduct at least 25% of the retail public utility's master meter bill; (III) if all water used for an Installed landscape irrigation system is metered or submetered and there are other common areas such as pools or laundry rooms that are not metered or submetered, deduct at least 5% of the retail public utility's master meter bill; or (iv) if common areas that are served through the master meter that provides water to the dwelling units are not separately metered or submetered and there is no installed landscape Irrigation system, deduct at least 5% of the retail public utility's master meter bill. (2) To calculate a tenant's bill: (A) for an apartment house, the owner shall multiply the amount established in paragraph (1) of this subsection by: (i) the number of occupants in the tenant's dwelling unit divided by the total number of occupants in all dwelling units at the beginning of the month for which bills are being rendered; or (II) the number of occupants In the tenant's dwelling unit using a ratio occupancy formula divided by the total number of occupants in all dwelling units at the beginning of the retail public utility's billing period using the same ratio occupancy formula to determine the total. The ratio occupancy formula will reflect what the owner believes more accurately represents the water use In units that are occupied by multiple tenants. The ratio occupancy formula that is used must assign a fractional portion per tenant of no less than that on the following scale: (1) dwelling unit with one occupant =1; (II) dwelling unit with two occupants =1.6; (III) dwelling unit with three occupants = 2.2; or (IV) dwelling unit with more than three occupants = 2.2 + 0.4 per each additional occupant over three; or (III) the average number of occupants per bedroom, which shall be determined by the following occupancy formula. The formula must calculate the average number of occupants in all dwelling units based on the number of bedrooms in the dwelling unit according to the scale below, notwithstanding the actual number of occupants in each of the dwelling unit's bedrooms or all dwelling units: (1) dwelling unit with an efficiency = 1; (II) dwelling unit with one bedroom = 1.6; (ill) dwelling unit with two bedrooms = 2.8; (IV) dwelling unitwith three bedrooms = 4+ 1.2 for each additional bedroom; or (iv) a factor using a combination of square footage and occupancy in which no more than 50% Is based on square footage. The square footage portion must be based on the total square footage living area of the dwelling unit as a percentage of the total square footage living area of all dwelling units of the apartment house; or (v) the individually submetered hot or cold water usage of the tenant's dwelling unit divided by all submetered hot or cold water usage in all dwelling units; (B) a condominium manager shall multiply the amount established in paragraph (1) of this subsection by any of the factors under subparagraph (A) of this paragraph or may follow the methods outlined in the condominium contract; (C) for a manufactured home rental community, the owner shall multiply the amount established in paragraph (1) of this subsection by: (i) any of the factors developed under subparagraph (A) of this paragraph; or (ii) the area of the individual rental space divided by the total area of all rental spaces; and (D) for a multiple use facility, the owner shall multiply the amount established in paragraph (1) of this subsection by: (I) any of the factors developed under subparagraph (A) of this paragraph; or (H) the square footage of the rental space divided by the total square footage of all rental spaces. (3) If a tenant moves in or out during a billing period, the owner may calculate a bill for the tenant. If the tenant moves in during a billing period, the owner shall prorate the bill by calculating a bill as if the tenant were therefor the whole month and then charging the tenant for only the number of days the tenant lived In the unit divided by the number of days in the month multiplied by the calculated bill. If a tenant moves out during a billing period before the owner receives the bill forthat period from the retail public utility, the owner may calculate a final bill. The owner may calculate the tenant's bill by calculating the tenant's average bill for the last three months and multiplying that average bill by the number of days the tenant was in the unit divided by the number of days in that month. (f) Conversion to approved allocation method. An owner using an allocation formula other than those approved In subsection (a) of this section shall Immediately provide notice as required under §24.279(c) of this title (relating to Rental Agreement) and either: (1) adopt one of the methods In subsection (a) of this section; or (2) install submeters and begin billing on a submetered basis; or (3) discontinue billing for utility services. § 24.283. Billing (a) Monthly billing of total charges. The ownershall bill the tenant each month for the total charges calculated under §24.281 of this title (relating to Charges and Calculations). If it is permitted In the rental agreement, an occupant or occupants who are not residing in the rental unit for a period longer than 30 days may be excluded from the occupancy calculation and from paying a water and sewer bill for that period. (b) Rendering bill. (1) Allocated bills shall be rendered as promptly as possible after the owner receives the retail public utility bill. (2) Submeter bills shall be rendered as promptly as possible after the owner receives the retail public utility bill or according to the time schedule In the rental agreement if the owner Is billing using the retail public utility's rate. (c) Submeter reading schedule. Submeters or point -of -use submeters shall be read within three days of the scheduled reading date of the retail public utility's master meter or according to the schedule in the rental agreement if the owner Is billing using the retail public utility's rate. (d) Billing period. (1) Allocated bills shall be rendered for the same billing period as that of the retail public utility, generally monthly, unless service is provided for less than that period. (2) Submeter bills shall be rendered for the same billing period as that of the retail public utility, generally monthly, unless service is provided for less than that period. If the owner uses the retail public utility's actual rate, the billing period may be an alternate billing period specified In the rental agreement. (a) Multi -item bill. If issued on a multi -item bill, charges for submetered or allocated utility service must be separate and distinct from any other charges on the bill. (f) Information on bill. The bill must clearly state that the utility service is submetered or allocated, as applicable, and must Include all of the following: (1) total amount due for submetered or allocated water, (2) total amount due for submetered or allocated wastewater; (3) total amount due for dwelling unit base charge(s) or customer service charge(s) or both, if applicable; (4) total amount due for water or wastewater usage, if applicable; (5) the name of the retail public utility and a statement that the bill is not from the retail public utility; (6) name and address of the tenant to whom the bill is applicable; (7) name of the firm rendering the bill and the name or title, address, and telephone number of the firm or person to be contacted in case of a billing dispute; and (8) name, address, and telephone number of the party to whom payment is to be made.

In addition to the information required in subsection (f) of this section, a bill for submetered service must Include all of the following: (1) the total number of gallons, liters, or cubic feet submetered or measured by point -of -use submeters; (2) the cost per gallon, liter, or cubic foot for each service provided; and (3) total amount due for a service charge charged by an owner of a manufactured home rental community, if applicable. (h) Due date. The due dale on the bill may not be less than 16 days after it is mailed or hand delivered to the tenant, unless the due date falls on a federal holiday orweekend, in which case the following work day will be the due date. The owner shall record the date the bill is mailed or hand delivered. A payment is delinquent if not received by the due date. (i) Estimated bill. An estimated bill may be rendered if a master meter, submeter, or point -of -use submeter has been tampered with, cannot be read, or Is out of order, and in such case, the bill must be distinctly marked as an estimate and the subsequent bill must reflect an adjustment for actual charges. 0) Payment by tenant. Unless utility bills are paid to a third -party billing company on behalf of the owner, or unless clearly designated by the tenant, payment must be applied first to rent and then to utilities. (k) Overbilling and underbilling. If a bill Is issued and subsequently found to be in error, the owner shall calculate a billing adjustment. If the tenant Is due a refund, an adjustment must be calculated for all of that tenant's bills that Included overcharges. If the overbilling or underbilling affects all tenants, an adjustment must be calculated for all of the tenants' bills. If the tenant was undercharged, and the cause was not due to submeter or point -of -use submeter error, the owner may calculate an adjustment for bills issued In the previous six months. If the total undercharge Is $25 or more, the owner shall offer the tenant a deferred payment plan option, for the same length of time as that of the underbilling. Adjustments for usage by a previous tenant may not be back billed to a current tenant. (1) Disputed bills. In the event of a dispute between a tenant and an owner regarding any bill, the owner shall investigate the matter and report the results of the investigation to the tenant in writing. The Investigation and report must be completed within 30 days from the date the tenant gives written notification of the dispute to the owner. (m) Late fee. A one-time penally not to exceed 5% may be applied to delinquent accounts. If such a penalty Is applied, the bill must Indicate the amount due If the late penalty Is incurred.

E-DOC SIGNER 411i40rv3hauh SIGNED 5/17/2023 AT 11:13AM COT LEASE ADDENDUM FOR ALLOCATING STORMWATER/DRAINAGE COSTS 1. Addendum. This is an addendum to the TAA Lease Contract for Apt. No. in the The Loqan AL LP Apartments in Texas. The terms of this addendum will control if the terms of the Lease and this addendum conflict. 2. Reason for allocation. Governmental entities impose stormwater/drainage fees to help pay for the cost of maintaining the infrastructure needed to prevent flooding and lessen the impact of pollution on our water system. These fees can be significant. Our property has chosen to allocate this fee so residents are more aware of the true costs associated with these fees and so it is not necessary to raise rents to keep pace with these fee increases. 3. Your payment due date. Payment of your allocated stormwater/drainage bill is due 16 days after the date it is postmarked or hand delivered to your apartment. You agree to mail or deliver payment to the place indicated on your bill so that payment is received no later than the due date. You will pay a late charge of 5 percent of your stormwater/drainage bill if we do not receive timely payment. If you are late in paying the stormwater/drainage bill, we may immediately exercise all lawful remedies under your lease contract, including eviction just like late payment of rent. 4. Allocation procedures. Your monthly base rent under the TAA Lease Contract does not include a charge for stormwater/ drainage costs. You will pay separately for these monthly recurring fixed charges which are defined under the Lease as "Additional Rent". You may receive a separate bill from us each month or we may include these items as separate and distinct charges as part of a multi -item bill. You agree to and we will allocate the monthly stormwater/drainage bill for the apartment community based on the allocation method checked below. (check only one) ❑ A percentage reflecting your apartment unit's share of the total square footage in the apartment community, i.e. your unit's square footage divided by the total square footage in all apartment units. ❑ A percentage reflecting your apartment unit's share of the total number of people living in the apartment community, i.e. the number of people living in your apartment divided by the total number of people living in the entire apartment commu- nity for the month. ("People' for this purpose are all residents and occupants listed in leases at the apartment community as having a right to occupy the respective units). ❑ Half of your allocation will be based on your apartment's share of total square footage and half will be based on your share of total people living in the apartment community, as described above. 0 Per dwelling unit ❑ Other formula (see attached page) 5. Penalties and fees. Only the total stormwater/drainage bill will be allocated. Penalties or interest for any late payment of the master stormwater/ drainage bill by us will be paid for by us and will not be allocated. A nominal administrative fee of $ 3.00 per month (not to exceed $3) will be added to your bill for processing, billing and/or collecting. 6. Change of allocation formula. The above allocation formula for determining your share of the stormwater/drain age bill cannot be changed except as follows: (1) you receive notice of the new formula at least 35 days before it takes effect; and (2) you agree to the change, in a signed lease renewal or signed mutual agreement. T. Right to examine records. You may examine our stormwater/drainage bills from the utility company, and our calculations relating to the monthly allocation of the stormwater/drainage bills during regular weekday office hours. Please give us reasonable advance notice to gather the data.

Addendum. This is an addendum to the TAA Lease Contract for Apt. No. in the The Logan AL LP .Apartments in Texas. The terms of this addendum will control if the terms of the Lease and this addendum conflict. 2. Reason for allocation. When utility costs for operating a central heating/air conditioning system or a central hot water system are paid by the property owner, residents have little incentive to conserve. This often results in a waste of our state's natural resources and adds to the overhead of the property — and that usually means higher rents. Allocation of central system utility costs saves money for residents because it encourages conservation. 3. Payment due date. Payment of your allocated share of the central system utility costs is due 16 days after the date it is postmarked or hand delivered to your apartment. We may include this item as a separate and distinct charge as part of a multi -item bill. Unless otherwise provided, you agree to pay it at the same place your rent is paid under your lease. There will be a late charge of 5 percent of your bill if your bill is not timely paid. 4. Allocation procedures. Central system allocation is governed by the Public Utility Commission.

No administrative or other fee will be added to the total utility costs to be allocated for operating the central system.

[check the one option that is applicable] ❑ Allocation will be based on square footage.
