This year the City Council is being requested to allocate the Fiscal Year (FY) 2003/2004 AB 2766 funds to the operation and/or maintenance of the Commuter Rail Station. RECOMMENDATION That the City Council: 1. Authorize the use of City AB 2766 funds for the Tustin Commuter Rail Station; and, Authorize the City Manager to approve additional AB 2766 expenditures, consistent with Air Quality Management District guidance, throughout the 2003/2004 program year as needed. FISCAL IMPACT AB 2766 turn-back funds are made available to local governments for use in offsetting state mandated vehicle emissions reduction programs. Tustin will receive approximately $80,000 for the 2003/2004 program year. The use of these funds reduces General Fund responsibility to fund emission reduction programs. Attachment "A" provides a summary of AB 2766 fund program activities, revenues, expenditures, and carryover balances. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION 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) per vehicle to finance the implementation of transportation measures embodied in the Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) and provisions of the California Clean Air Act. Commencing Fiscal Year 1991-1992, subvention disbursements were made available to cities and agencies. Forty percent of the funds collected from the City Council Report Project Funding for AB 2766 Program November 17, 2003 Page 2 Department of Motor Vehicle registration fees are returned to local governments for local vehicle emission reduction programs. AB 2766 turn-back 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.

AB 2766 funds have been previously allocated by the City Council for the commuter rail station. The rail station will require additional monies and the use of AB 2766 funds for operation and maintenance.
