C:\My Documents\1MAIR QUALITY -03 FLEX AGREEMENT.doc
DATE: November 15, 2001
SUBJECT: City Council Meeting — November 20, 2001
I'LEM: 13.A.1. Consider a resolution selecting air quality Improvement
measures appropriate for the City of Round Rock to include
in the proposed 03 Flex Agreement for the Austin/San
Marcos Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Resource: Bob Bennett, City Manager
Wade Thomason, Clean Air Force
History: The 03 Flex Plan is an agreement between Round Rock, surrounding
governments, Austin and the EPA. The plan has been under construction
for almost 3 years. The plan addresses both the 8 -hour and 1 hour
standard for ozone and keeps us out of non - attainment for the time being.
However, the plan is built for results and we must show progress in
reducing ozone levels.
Funding:
Cost: Uncertain as to the amount
Source of funds: General Fund and Utility Fund
Outside Resources: Central Texas Clean Air Force
Impact: Unknown for plan implementation. If unsuccessful and we achieve
Non - attainment impact will be negative and significant.
Benefit: Cleaner air and the possibility to avoid non - attainment.
Public Comment: Numerous presentations have been made.
Sponsor: City Council
