DISCUSSION
On April 6, 1999 (M&C G-12530), the City Council accepted a grant in the amount of $737,948 from
TDHCA for the Comprehensive Energy Assistance Program (CEAP)
The City was notified through Letter of Notification No 10, effective July 1, 1999, that its 1999 allocation
had been increased to $1,230,506 The City was then notified through letter of Notification No 11,
effective October 8, that its 1999 allocation had been increased to $1,452,836
Any decision that TDHCA makes to obligate additional funds or deobligate funds is based upon factors,
including but not limited to, the status of funding under grants to the TDHCA, the rate of contractor's
utilization of funds under this or previous contracts, the existence of questioned or disallowed costs
under this or other contracts between the parties, and the contractor's overall compliance with the terms
of this contract. Given the fact that the City has performed satisfactorily in all measured areas,
additional funds have been allocated
The CEAP has six components. 1) Energy Crisis, 2) Elderly/Disabled Assistance, 3) Co-Payment
Assistance, 4) Heating and Cooling Systems, 5) Direct Service Support and 6) Case Management. The
allocation is being made to address the needs of low to moderate income households in Tarrant County
who are paying a disproportionate amount to meet the needs for heating and cooling
