RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council
Authorize the City Manager to accept funds in the amount of $12,500 00 from Tarrant County for
the 1997 funding year, and
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in
the Grant Fund by $12,500 00 from available funds, and
3 Authorize the City Manager to execute a lease agreement with the Bethlehem Baptist Church of
Mansfield, Texas for the Kennedale/Mansfield Center, beginning upon execution of contract; for an
amount not to exceed $800 00 per month contingent upon receipt of funding from the Texas
Department of Housing and Community Affairs
The Kennedale/Mansfield Neighborhood Resources Development Program Center provides case
management, information and referral services, client intake and assessment, emergency assistance,
including the Comprehensive Energy Assistance Program, and other social services to the citizens of
Kennedale/Mansfield and the Southeastern Tarrant County areas. This program is wholly underwritten
by Federal, State, and County funds.
On September 24, 1996 (M&C L-11818), the City Council authorized the renewal of a lease agreement
with Carl Beckum for the Kennedale/Mansfield Center for the period beginning October 1, 1996, and
ending September 30, 1997, with a one year option to renew There are several concerns with the
current lease site (1) the space is very limited, (2) recent road construction will absorb some of the
parking space available, and (3) the monthly rent will increase from $420 00 to $510 00 The amount
does not include utility costs The City requested and was approved a two (2) month extension (on a
month by month basis) on the current contract in order to finalize the proposed lease contract terms.
During the past year, staff has been actively searching for another site The City was approached by
Rev Michael Evans, Sr of the Bethlehem Baptist Church, with an offer of space at their current facility
The Bethlehem Baptist Church of Mansfield, Inc. has proposed the following•
1 A three (3) year lease commencing upon execution of contract and ending on September
30, 2000 (Note the first six (6) months rent wilt be waived)
2 Lease space totaling 380 sq feet The space, which will include two (2) offices, will have a
food pantry and storage for in-kind items (clothing, etc.) All renovations will be at the
expense of the church
