Intent to Apply for FY 2023 Solid Waste Managements Projects and Implementation
Submitted for:	Silvia Martinez	Submitted By:	Silvia Martinez
Department:	Water Utilities

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to authorize the Economic Development Department to develop and submit an application for the FY 2023 Solid Waste Management Projects and Implementation from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) South Texas Development Council, in the amount up to Thirty-Four Thousand Six Hundred Thirty-Seven Dollars ($34,637.00) in grant funds and to approve a resolution authorizing the submission of an application for solid waste clean-up activities in the colonias; and authorizing the Webb County Judge to sign all pertinent contract documentation. No cash match is required, therefore there is no financial impact to the general fund.

Issue: Rural areas of Webb County have been experiencing illegal dumping offenses in the Colonias. The tires become a breeding ground for mosquitoes and snakes posing a danger to the community.

Solution: Remove the tires by collaborating with the Road and Bridge Department.

Result: The Department will implement four clean-up activities where the monies will be used for tire collection and disposal. The removal of the tires will control mosquito and snake population near the Colonia homes.
