RES 1264 12/09/2003 RESOLUTION NUMBER
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF CIBOLO REQUESTING GOVERNOR RICK PERRY AND
THE TEXAS COMMISSION ON ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY STAND FIRM ON ITS
RECOMMENDATION TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY OF AN
ATTAINMENT DESIGNATION IN AIR QUALITY FOR GUADALUPE COUNTY.
WHEREAS, the Clean Air Act clearly defines the 8-hour ozone national ambient air quality
standard as the basis for an attainment designation, and
WHEREAS, ozone monitors in Guadalupe County recorded air quality within the Clean Air Act's 8-
hour standard at the New Braunfels Airport for two years and in the City of Seguin this year, and
WHEREAS, TCEQ and Governor Rick Perry recommended an attainment designation in air quality
for Guadalupe County based on the Clean Air Act's 8-hour ozone standard, and
WHEREAS, EPA Regional Administrator Richard Greene, in a letter to Governor Rick Perry dated
December 3, 2003, recommends Guadalupe County be included in the San Antonio MSA
nonattainment boundary area based on an EPA guidance memorandum, and
WHEREAS, the rule of law demands that the law; in this case, the Clean Air Act's 8-hour ozone
standard, is entitled to greater weight than an EPA self-generated guidance memorandum,
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Cibolo requests the rule of law be
upheld and that Governor Rick Perry and TCEQ stand firm on its recommendation of an attainment
designation in air quality for Guadalupe County. We also request that the Guadalupe County
Commissioners' Court and the Alamo Area Council of Government's Air Executive Committee pass
and approve a similar resolution.
PASSED AND APPROVED unanimously this 9th day of December, 2003.
