A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA,
OPPOSING INCLUSION OF ESSENTIAL
PUBLIC SERVICES IN THE PROPOSED
MARKET INCENTIVES PROGRAM (RECLAIM)
OF THE SOUTH COAST AIR QUALITY
MANAGEMENT DISTRICT
WHEREAS, on March 5, 1992, the governing board of
the South Coast Air quality Management District will
consider a proposal to proceed with the development of
rules to implement a market incentives program to allow
trading of emissions for permitted stationary sources;
and,
WHEREAS, the 1991 Air Quality Management Plan
anticipates population growth' which will result in
increased demands on all essential public services,
defined in the Air Quality Management District's New
Source Review as publicly owned wastewater treatment and
water delivery operations, schools, hospitals, fire
fighting, police, prisons, landfill gas control and
processing operations, and public transit in the South
Coast Air Basin; and,
WHEREAS, the existing New Source Review regulations
provide necessary emissions offsets for population growth
for essential public services; and
WHEREAS, essential public services are needed to
protect the public health and safety of the current
population as well as the approved future growth in the
South coast Air Basin; and
WHEREAS, essential public services will continue to
install best available air pollution control technology
at their facilities to reduce emissions to lowest
practicable levels; and
WHEREAS, the South Coast Air Quality Management
District is considering entering into the rulemaking
phase of a market incentives program for emission
reductions that would require some essential public
services to fully offset the impacts of continuing
population growth in addition to complying with annual
emissions reductions; and,
WHEREAS, some agencies would be placed in the
position of needing to provide additional services
without certainty regarding the availability and cost of
emissions credits;

Page 2
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of
Tustin supports the clean air goals of the state and
federal Clean Air Acts but is opposed to including
essential public services in the RECLAIM program, and
believes that the public interest is better served if
essential public services remain under the current
command and control regulatory program that provides
emission reduction offsets for population growth to such
services, following the installation of best available
control technology.
