DISCUSSION: The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) is the pass- through agency for all Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Section 105 Grant Funds. EPA Section 105 Grant Funds have been received annually by the City for its Air Pollution Control Program in cooperation with TCEQ to maintain and operate various ambient air monitoring stations. This includes daily monitoring of ozone and particulate levels. This grant covers the operation of the Particulate Matter (PM) 10 network for the TCEQ and requires a local in -kind match of $41,330.00 per year. The City must provide matching funds such that the combined federal and state share of the total funding for the Section 105 Grant does not exceed 67 percent. The matching funds must be allocated per maintenance of effort requirements for federal air pollution grants. The Transportation and Public Works Department's proposed Fiscal Year 2012 General Fund budget includes funds required for the in -kind match. No City funds will be expended before the contract is approved. Upon approval and acceptance of the grant and execution of the contract, City funds will be expended before receipt of grant funds.
