Section 105 Grant Funds have been received annually by the City to maintain and operate various
ambient air monitoring stations. This includes daily monitoring of ozone, oxides of nitrogen, solar radiation,

through August 31, 2019, with a limit in the amount of$206,934.00 for reimbursement of expenses to the
City. This Agreement requires an additional in-kind match of$101,922.00, which is $50,961.00 per fiscal
