RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:

from $552,563.00 to $830,576.00;

6. Apply indirect cost at the most recently approved rate of 21.48 percent for the Environmental
Management Department.
DISCUSSION:
Since FY1991-1992, 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 in funding for FY 2005-06 and 2006-07 ($274,550 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. This second amendment increases the funding for FY 2007-2008 by
$278,013.00 to $830,576.00 and requires an additional in-kind match of $136,932. The City must provide
matching funds such that the combined 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 and FY 2007-2008 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.
