GRANTS AND AUTHORIZE RELATED CONTRACTS
RECOMMENDATION: ~
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager to accept additional funds from the Texas Department of Housing and
Community Affairs (TDHCA) in the amount of $185,868.00 as follows:
a) $101,928.00 from the Systems Benefit Fund (SBF) for the period September 1, 2002, through
August 31, 2003; and
b) $83,940.00 from the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) for the period
April 1, 2003, through March 31, .2004; and
2. Accept TDHCA allocated funds in the amount of $158,809.00, instead of the originally allocated
amount of $161,582.00, in the Department of Energy (DOE) Contract No. 563039, which is a
reduction of $2,773.00; and
3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Grants Fund by $183,095.OO,.subject to receipt of the grant funding; and
4. Authorize the City Manager to execute contracts reflecting the changes in funding.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Fort Worth .has operated a Weatherization Assistance Program funded by TDHCA on a
grant basis since 1982. The program serves low-income residents in Tarrant County, primarily the
handicapped and elderly, by weatherizing their homes.
Weatherization measures include attic insulation, weather-stripping, caulking, window and door repair
or replacement, and other minor repairs. A maximum of $2,568.00 in DOE and LIHEAP funds can be
expended per home during the current program year.
The proposed allocation of $185,868.00 represents additional weatherization funding made available by
TDHCA under the Systems Benefit Fund and LIHEAP. This is offset by a slight reduction in funds of
$2,773.00 in the DOE contract, for a net increase of $183,095.00.
This project is available county-wide.
