that it does not adversely affect the right of the insured to recover under the applicable insurance
policy or policies. Upon obtaining the policies of insurance described in this Lease, Landlord
and Tenant shall give notice to the insurance carrier or carriers of the foregoing mutual waiver of
subrogation and shall use such insurance policies to be properly endorsed, if necessary, to
prevent the invalidation of the insurance coverage by reason of such mutual waiver.
ARTICLE SEVEN: ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

destroyed or rendered partially unfit for occupancy by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall give

Page 6 of 11
9.02 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any of the events of default listed in Section 9.01,
Landlord shall have the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies without any
notice or demand whatsoever;
a. Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Property
to Landlord. If Tenant fails to so surrender the Property, Landlord may, without
prejudice to any other remedy, which it may have for possession of the Property or
arrearages in rent, enter upon and take possession of the Property and expel or remove
Tenant and any other person who may be occupying such Property or any part thereof.
Landlord may hold Tenant liable for all rent and other indebtness accrued to the date of
such termination,plus, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the
then present value of rent provided for hereunder for the remaining portion of the Lease
Term (had this Lease not been terminated) using a ten (10%) percent value discount
factor. In the event Landlord elects to terminate this Lease by reason of an event of
default, in lieu of recovering from Tenant under the preceding sentence, Landlord may
hold Tenant liable for the amount of all loss and damage which Landlord may suffer by
reason of such termination, whether through inability to relet the Property on satisfactory
terms or otherwise.
b. Enter upon and take possession of the Property without terminating this Lease, and
expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Property or any
part thereof. Landlord may relet the Property and receive the rent thereof.
c. Enter upon the Property without terminating the Lease, and do whatever Tenant is
obligated to do under the terms of this Lease. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord on demand
for actual and reasonable expenses which Landlord may incur in this effecting
compliance with Tenant's obligations under this Lease, as evidenced by invoices or other
sufficient proof presented to Tenant, together with interest thereon at an annual simple
interest rate of three percent above the United States Federal Reserve discount rate in
effect at the time from the date expended until paid. Landlord shall not be liable for any
damages resulting to Tenant from such action, whether caused by negligence of Landlord
or otherwise.
d. Tenant is presumed to have abandoned the Property if Tenant's goods, equipment, or
other property are removed from the Property in an amount substantial enough to indicate
a probable intent to abandon the Property and such removal is not within the normal
course of Tenant's business. In the event that Tenant is presumed to have abandoned the
Property, Landlord may remove and store any property of Tenant that remains on the
Property. Landlord may store such property at any location satisfactory to Landlord.
Landlord may dispose of such stored property after the expiration of sixty (60) days from
the date such property is so stored. Landlord shall deliver by certified mail to Tenant at
Tenant's last known address as shown by Landlord's records a notice stating that
Landlord may dispose of Tenant's property if Tenant does not claim the same within
sixty(60) days after the date the property was stored.
e. In the event Tenant is in default under this Lease by reason of Tenant's failure to pay
rent as set forth above then Landlord may, at Landlord's option, change all door locks
and leave a written notice on a door to the Property stating the name and address or
Page 7 of 11
telephone number of the individual from whom a new key can be obtained during
Tenant's regular business hours, which are defined for this purpose as being between
8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday of each week.
f. Upon the occurrence of any of such events of default, Landlord may enter upon and
take possession of the Property by force, if necessary, without being liable for
prosecution of any claim for damages therefore. Pursuit of any of the foregoing remedies
shall not preclude pursuit of any of the other remedies provide by law, nor shall pursuit of
any remedy herein provided constitute a forfeiture or waiver of any rent due to Landlord
hereunder or of any damages accruing to Landlord by reason of the violation of any of
the terms, condition and covenants herein contained.
ARTICLE TEN: REALTOR'S COMMISSIONS

or possession, by delivering written notice to the other within ten (10) days after receipt of

The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication is to accept funds from Tarrant County to
assist in the operation of the Far Northwest Community Action Partners Center located at 920
Roberts Cut Off Road in River Oaks (Northwest CAPC) and Far Southeast Community Action
Partners Center located at 1601 East Lamar Boulevard in Arlington (Southeast CAPC) (collectively,
the Centers) and enter into Lease Agreements for the use of the Centers.
The City of Fort Worth has contracted with the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs

Partners (CAP). CAP provides services to low-income residents on a county-wide basis, including
case management, information and referral services, client intake and assessment, emergency

the Southeast CAPC. As part of that Agreement, the City leases approximately 1,891 square feet at
a base rental amount of$2,116.46.00 per month, which includes utilities and janitorial services. The
monthly rental rate may be adjusted each year based on the percent increase in the Consumer Price
Index for all urban consumers in Dallas-Fort Worth.

CAPC and Staff wishes to continue that arrangement for an additional year, with a lease term to
begin on October 1, 2014 and end on September 30, 2015. The total base rent for this facility is
$11,100.00, which will be paid in monthly rental installments of$825.00, which excludes utilities.
Annually, Tarrant County provides funding for the operation of the Centers. Since 2009, Tarrant
County has awarded $30,000.00 annually to the City of Fort Worth and Staff anticipates the same
amount or more for the next several years. Additional funding is provided by the Community Services
Block Grant; therefore, all expenses are completely covered by grant funds, including electricity,
telephone services, natural gas, water and waste water and minor repairs.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:

recommendations, receipt of the grant, and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds
