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 and maintenance of the Particulate Matter (PM) 10, Luisa VOC Canister,
and Ozone monitoring networks for the TCEQ and requires a local in-kind match of$50,961.00 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 2014 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.
