SUBJECT ACCEPTANCE OF FUNDS FROM THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND
COMMUNITY AFFAIRS FOR THE LEASE OF A VAN FOR THE DAY LABOR CENTER
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council
1 Authorize the City Manager to accept funds in the amount of $19,000 from the Texas Department of
Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) for the lease of a van for the Day Labor Center; and
2 Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing the estimated receipts and appropriations in
the Grants Fund by $19,000, and
3 Authorize the waiver of indirect costs, since no salaries are involved
DISCUSSION
On August 28, 2001 (M&C L-13133), the City Council approved a lease agreement with Interstate
Industrial Properties, LP for the Day Labor Center During the site location and evaluation process,
more than 87 properties were reviewed before a selection was made Although a primary goal was to
find a facility on a bus route, the committee was unable to meet this criteria with the selected location
The Fort Worth Transportation Authority has agreed to provide early morning bus service to the site
located at 2012 15th Avenue, at a cost of $1 00 per person, which is the normal bus fare At least two
early morning shuttles will be provided to the site from the Vickery Street Bus Transfer Center, where
several bus routes converge A primary concern is for the laborers who may not receive job
opportunities and will need to get back to the Bus Transfer Center in order to return home Due to the
anticipated small numbers in this group, bus services will not be available to return them to the central
location The adopted program budget does not include funds to address this issue
To address this need, the Parks and Community Services Department requested and received $19,000
from TDHCA's Discretionary Funds for the lease and gasoline costs fora 15-passenger van for a period
of one year, beginning November 15, 2001 through November 14, 2002
The Day Labor Center is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 9
