Subject:

Discussion and possible action to authorize the development and submission of a FY 2018 Solid Waste Management Projects and Implementation Grants Program to the South Texas Development Council (in cooperation with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality) in an amount not to exceed Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000.00) and authorizing the Webb County Judge to execute all relevant documents pertaining to this application. This grant requires an in-kind commitment of Six Thousand Dollars ($6,000.00). All required documentation has been sent for review to the Economic Development Department, and the solicitation is compliant with Webb County Single Point of Contact (SPOC) procedures. This action will have no impact on the General Fund. [Requested by James Flores, Economic Development Director]
