No cash match is required, therefore there is no financial impact on the general fund. [Co-Sponsored by Commissioner Rosaura Tijerina, Pct 2]
 
Issue: Rural areas of Webb County have been experiencing illegal dumping offenses in the Colonias. The tires become a breeding ground for mosquitos 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 three clean-up activities where the monies will be used for tire collection and disposal. The removal of the tires will control the mosquito and snake population near the Colonia homes.
