COUNCIL STUDY SESSION
BUDGET UPDATE
Deputy City Manager Jan Perkins reviewed the contents of a report dated
March 6, 1989 regarding the proposed 1989-90 budget. She indicated
revenues were projected at approximately $2.5 million less than projected
expenditures, and explained the administration planned to eliminate that
deficit through the establishment of a Lighting and Landscaping Assessment
District. Perkins explained several of the factors which were responsible
for contributing to the anticipated shortfall in revenues including such
items as the loss of General Revenue Sharing funds, the comnitment to
increase Police and Fire staffing, and the fact that on a percentage
basis, salary increases had out paced revenues. She also discussed
several programs planned for the near future, and responded to
Councilmembers' specific questions.
AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT PLAN
Barbara Sullivan, Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG),
showed a slide presentation to Council delineating projected growth in
population and attendant increases in air pollution, and reviewed seven
major measures recon~nended by SCAG to decrease emission pollutants. She
indicated such decreases were necessary to comply with Environmental
Protection Agency requirements.
Carolyn Green, Southern California Air Quality Management District,
briefly rebutted the "myths" which had arisen with respect to the Air
Quality Management Plan proposed by the District, indicating that clean
air and economic vitality were not mutually exclusive. She also reviewed
the schedule for adoption of the Plan, and discussed several innovative
technologies and methods proposed to reduce pollution. Both Ms. Sullivan
and Ms. Green responded to Councilmembers' questions, and stressed the
need for local government involvement in the formation of the Air Quality
Management Plan.
