-``STI6JECT LETTER OF AGREEMENT WITH NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS FOR
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE IN COMPLETING PART II OF THE EPA STORM WATER PERMIT
APPLICATION AND ADOPTION OF SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS ORDINANCE
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that City Council:
1. Adopt the attached supplemental appropriation ordinance increasing appropriations
by $534,033 in the General Fund and decreasing the unreserved undesignated fund
balance of the General Fund by the same amount, and
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute a letter of agreement for professional
assistance to obtain an EPA storm water permit with the North Central Texas
Council of Governments (NCTCOG) for an amount not to exceed $534,033, over a two-
year period..
DISCUSSION:
The Federal Water Quality Act of 1987 and regulations published on November 16, 1990
required seven (7) cities, including Fort Worth to submit a storm water permit
application by November 1992 for controlling the quality of storm water discharges.
City staff has completed Part I of the application by utilizing existing resources,
however, due to the complexity and limited time required to complete Part II of the
permit application, the need for outside assistance is necessary. The North Central
Texas Council of Governments with the assistance of the Regional Urban Storm Water
Management Task Force, developed a program with the U. S. Geological Survey to assist
the affected cities in the metroplex in meeting the technical requirements for wet
weather sampling. In addition, the NCTCOG and the Task Force selected an engineering
firm to further assist in completing Part II of the permit application.
Staff has reviewed the cost associated with the services being provided under the
letter of agreement and find them to be a reasonable and cost effective means to
provide the technical resources necessary to complete Part II of the storm water permit
process.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
As this expenditure was not anticipated in the 1991-92 operating budget, a supplemental
appropriation of $534,033 from the General Fund Balance is required to provide the
funding necessary for this agreement.
