stations. In March 2003, the TCEQ expanded the particulate monitoring network with the installation of
nine additional PM monitors in Tarrant County.
The City is responsible for retrieving the sampling data, sending it for analysis, and performing regular
maintenance activities on the equipment under the terms of this agreement.

The Finance Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the
attached appropriations ordinance, funds will be available in the current operating budget, as
appropriated, of the Grants Fund.
