DISCUSSION:
Since FY 1991-1992, the City has entered into an annual agreement with the TCEQ for the City to provide
certain air-pollution control services within Fort Worth. The services provided include complaint
investigation, new source review and comment, annual inspections at select major Volatile Organic
Compound (VOC) sources, used car dealership inspections, and Stage II Vapor Recovery System
inspections at area gas stations.
The original Interlocal Agreement provided $549,100.00 in funding for FY 2005-2006 and 2006-2007
($274,550.00 for each year). The first amendment to this contract approved by Council on July 18, 2006,
(M&C C-21573) increased funding by $3,463.00. The second amendment increased the funding for FY
2007-2008 by $278,013.00 to $830,576.00 and required an additional in-kind match of $136,932.00. This
third amendment increases the funding for FY 2008-2009 by $278,013.00 to $1,108,589.00 and requires an
additional in-kind match of $136,932.00. The City must provide matching funds such that the combined
Logname: 52TCEQ_COMP#3 Page 1 of 2
federal and state share of the total funding for the City of Fort Worth Local Air Program shall not exceed 67
percent. A portion of the Air Quality Section's General Fund Budget for FY 2006-2007, FY 2007-2008 and
FY 2008-2009 will be used for the required in-kind match.
The amendment also reflects minor changes to the General Conditions and Scope of Work Sections of the
agreement regarding the submission of invoices; the annual work plan and task requirements.
Upon approval and acceptance of the grant, City funds will be expended before receipt of grant funds.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Finance Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations, receipt of grant funds,
and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinances, funds will be available in the current operating
budget, as appropriated, of the Grant Fund. Funds will be reimbursed by grantor after expenditures are
made. Upon execution of the grant contract and receipt of grant funds, the inter-fund loan of $69,503 will be
repaid to the Environmental Operating Fund.
