LEGISLATURE TO DISAPPROVE THE REALLOCATION
OF AIR POLLUTION FUNDS TO THE AIR RESOURCES
BOARD.
WHEREAS, the South Coast Air Quality Management District has
jurisdiction for air pollution control in the four
Southern California counties of Los Angeles, Orange,
San Bernardino and Riverside; and
WHEREAS, the District is facing a major cut of $2.6 million in
state subvention funds for the next fiscal year, that
money being reallocated to the State Air Resources
Board budget; and
WHEREAS, the proven way to control air pollution in this basin
is through a program administered by locally elected
officials who are directly accountable for their actions;
and
WHEREAS, the District's funds should not be used by a state agency
which as already grown far beyond its statutory requirements;
and
WHEREAS, faced with this major cut the District will have to raise
the fees it receives from industry to carry out its
statutory responsibility, with most of these fees ultimately
being passed on to local consumers; and
WHEREAS, this recommended action of reallocating the subvention funds
from the District to the Air Resources Board will not result
in better air quality, but rather in duplicative and
unproductive work.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Seal
Beach, California. expresses its deep concern to members of the Legislature
regarding the air pollution problems of this area, and requests the
Legislature to disapprove the reallocation of local assistance funds to
