Grants Fund by $22,800.00 from available funds.
DISCUSSION:
Tarrant County provides funding for the operation of two NRDP Centers outside the city limits of Fort Worth,
and will reimburse the City for any operating expenses incurred with this project.
The Tarrant County Commissioner's Court contributes annually for the operation of two NRDP Centers to
finance the lease agreement and operating expenses as follows:
The lease for the Far Southeast NRDP is $6,600.00 per year (including water/waste costs); and
The lease for the Far Northwest NRDP is $10,224.24 (not including utilities); and
The remaining funds ($5,975.76) will be used to supplement the costs of utilities and telephone.
The Far Southeast and Far Northwest Centers will continue to provide case management, information and
referral services, client intake and assessment, emergency assistance, including the Comprehensive
Logname: 8080TARRANT Page 1 of 2
Energy Assistance Program, and other social services to low-income households in southeast and
northwest Tarrant County.
The costs to operate the referenced NRDP Centers are wholly underwritten by federal, state and county
funds.
The interim financing is requested to provide a transition from one grant funding cycle to the next. Interim
financing is only a temporary loan pending contract execution. Interim funds have been allocated in the
Tarrant County budget.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Finance Director 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 Fund. Upon execution of the grant contract, the interim interfund loan will be returned to the
General Fund.
