TO: WILLIAM A. HUSTON, CITY MANAGER
FROM: CHRISTINE A. SHINGLETON, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: APPROVAL AND AUTHORIZATION TO UTILIZE CITY AB 2766 FUNDS
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that City Council approve and authorize the use of
$10,330.00 of City AB 2766 funds to off -set costs associated with
developing an Air Quality component as part of the General Plan Revision
Program.
BACKGROUND
On September 30, 1990, the State Legislature authorized the South Coast
Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) to impose an additional motor
vehicle registration fee of two dollars ($2) to finance the
.—implementation of transportation measures embodied in the Air Quality
ianagement Plan (AQMP) and provisions of the California Clean Air Act.
Further, the legislation required the SCAQMD to distribute forty cents
($.40) of every dollar collected to participating cities and counties
within the District. Funds must be used solely to reduce pollution from
motor vehicles and for related planning, monitoring, enforcement and
technical studies necessary for the implementation of State and Regional
clean air goals within the City of Tustin.
On June 17, 1991, the Tustin City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1073
which formally stated an intent to participate and establish an Air
Quality Improvement Trust Fund. It is anticipated that the City will
receive about $8,758.95 each calendar quarter. Last December, Council
authorized an expenditure of $3,820.93 from the City's AB.2766 fund to
finance the conversion of two City vehicles from gasoline to propane.
The current unexpended balance is $20,342.55.
DISCUSSION
The recently adopted 1991 AQMP identifies the preparation and adoption
of an "Air Quality Element" as part of a city's general plan as an _air
quality implementation measure option. As Council is aware, the
Community Development Department is currently in the process of updating
and revising the City of Tustin General Plan. As part of that update,
the City's General Plan consultant has been required to integrate the
-
--necessary components of an "Air Quality Element" as part of the City's
-evised Conservation/ open Space/ Recreation Element. The component will
include City goals and. policies intended to support the 1991 AQMP and
encourage vehicle emission reductions.
