There would be some costs to each the TCEQ, TWDB and TPWD in supporting the commission and the preparation of its report.
The TCEQ and Water Development Board each expect that the bill would require $15,000 and 0.3 FTE for each agency in each fiscal year 2004 and 2005. This estimate assumes that these costs would be paid out of the General Revenue Fund. The TPWD estimates a cost of $27,077 in 2004 and $20,308 in 2005, along with 0.5 FTE. This estimate assumes TPWD costs would be paid out of the Game, Fish and Water Safety Account No. 009.
It is expected that all costs associated with this bill could be reasonably absorbed within the existing resources of each of the respective agencies.
