WHEREAS, the U. S. Government has recently increased
federal grant participation under the Federal Water Pollution
Control Act from 50 percent to 75 percent for eligible water
pollution control projects; and
WHEREAS, the State of Missouri has available for state
participation in such projects One Hundred Fifty Million Dollars
($150,000,000.00) in bond issue funds voted in October, 1971, by
the people of Missouri; and
WHEREAS, the Missouri Clean Water Commission is
presently determining state participation on the basis of
available state funds and the newly-increased percentage of
potential federal funding;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
OF THE METROPOLITAN ST. LOUIS SEWER DISTRICT that the District
herewith recommends and urges the Commission to adopt a policy
whereby the state's matching grant participation be reduced by 10
percent to a figure of 15 percent, thereby also reducing the local
cost share of such projects by 10 percent to a 10 percent figure,
and thus increasing the number of projects that can be completed
with the limited state and local funds available.
The foregoing Resolution was adopted November 30, 1972.
