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.
