RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE PASSAGE
OF ASS~BLY BILL 1868
(AIR RESOURCES BOARD MEMBERSHIP)
WHEREAS, the City of Santa Ana is located in the South Coast Air
Quality Management District (SCAQ~D) and concerned about the quality of our air;
and
WHEREAS, the SCA~MD is charged with the responsibility for solving
what is generally acknowledged to be a very severe air pollution problem that
will require a great effort before all ambient air quality standards are
attained throughout the regions of the District; and
WHEREAS, the SCR-32 (Montoya) study report in 1980 recommended that
the SCA~MD and Bay Area AQMD each be given permanent seats on the Air ~sources
Board; and
~EREAS, the SCACMD under current law has to share an ARB seat on a
rotating basis; and
WHEREAS, the Air Resources Board has stated that since the SCAO~D is
the largest, most complex, multi-county district in the state with a
correspondingly larger air pollution problem than any other district in
California, it is appropriate that the SCAOV~ have a permanent ARB seat; and
WHEREAS, to provide for a permanent seat on the ARB, the SC~MD
requested Assembly Member Charles M. Calderon to introduce Assembly bill 1868;
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Santa Ana does hereby
support and urge the passage of AB-1868 as a step to strengthen the air quality
management program for the citizens of this area.
