Approve the transfer of $24,600 from Undesignated in the Environmental Management Fund to the Fish Tissue Sampling project within the Environmental Project Fund; and 2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated revenues and appropriations in the Environmental Project Fund by $24,600; and 3. Authorize the City Manager to execute an Interlocal Agreement with the Texas Department of Health, Bureau of Laboratory Services for testing of fish tissue samples from Echo Lake, Lake Como, and Oakland Paris Lake in the amount of$24,600. This agreement will expire August 31, 2001. DISCUSSION: On December 5, 1995, the Texas Department of Health (TDH) issued fish consumption bans at Echo Lake, Lake Como and Fosdic Lake in Oakland Park after testing of fish tissue samples at the TDH Bureau of Laboratories showed unsafe levels of pesticides such as chlordane, DDT, dieldrin, and PCBs. City staff has monitored these lakes in the past and periodically tested fish tissue samples. Analysis of these samples by local laboratories has indicated a decrease in the levels of pollutants. Under State regulations, TDH can lift the fish consumption ban at these three lakes if the TDH Bureau of Laboratories can confirm this decrease. The City will be responsible for collecting the fish samples and transporting them for analysis. The samples will be collected in October 2000, and results are expected by August 31, 2001. 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 Environmental Management Project Fund.
