RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager to submit a grant application to the North Texas Clean Air Coalition
(NTCAC) for a Community Grant Program; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to accept and execute the NTCAC grant contract, if awarded; and
3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations up to

DISCUSSION:
The Environmental Management Department's air quality education outreach program has partnered
with the NTCAC over the past several years. During its first year, the Andy Airedale Air Quality Index
Poster program was introduced in the Fort Worth Independent School District (FW ISD). Additional.
poster sets were printed by the NTCAC and distributed to 75 school districts in Collin, Dallas, Denton,
and Tarrant counties.
The program was enhanced last year by the creation and distribution of activity books to FW ISD
students. The NTCAC printed additional sets of the books for distribution in the four-county, non-
attainment region. .
This year, the program will be expanded through the production of an Air Quality Index .magnet for
distribution regionally. The City of Fort Worth will partner with the City of Dallas and the North Central
Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) to assist in distributing this magnet across the non-
attainment region.
The City of Fort Worth will distribute the magnets in Tarrant County, the City of Dallas will distribute
magnets in Dallas County, and NCTCOG will distribute the magnets in Collin and Denton counties. The
magnets will be distributed at various events and presentations during 2003. Approximately 12,500
magnets will be distributed in each county, and will complement the region's air quality education efforts
by providing a simple tool to help educate citizens on how to protect their health and help reduce air
pollution in North Texas.
