CALIFORNIA, EXPRESSING OPPOSITION TO ASSEMBLY BILL 2660
REGARDING THE GOVERNING BOARD OF THE SOUTH COAST AIR

WHEREAS, the governing board of the South Coast Air Quality
Management District cDnsists of 10 members, nine of which are City Council
persons or Supervisors in the four southland counties of Los Angeles,
Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside, and
WHEREAS, City Council representatives are accountable to the
Electorate and the City Selection Con~ittees of the four counties that
appoint them to serve cn the District Board, and
WHEREAS, Board of Supervisors members are accountable to the
Electorate ar~ the other members of each of the Board of Supervisors that
appoints them to serve cn the District Board, and
WHEREAS, this system of locally elected officials directing a local
Agency has resulted in the development of a highly respected Air Quality
Management program and a governing board which is responsive to the area's
needs, and
WHEREAS, Assembly Bill 2660 introduced by Assemblyman Mel Levine
seeks to usurp this historcal authority of locally elected officials by
altering the composition of the District Board to include four unelected
political appointees chosen in Sacramento, thus proposing that
accountability to Sacramento is better than accountability to the people of
this oo~1unity, and
WHEREAS, this Bill would affect only the South Coast Air Quality
Management District - and none of the other more than 40 local Air Pollution
Control Districts in California- making this a transparent special interest
attempt to weaken the District's accountability and its Air Quality program;
NCW ~tE~~, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of
Tustin expresses its strong opposition to Assembly Bill 2660 and urges the
members of the legislature to reject this undemocratic proposal.
