A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF NEWPORT BEACH SUPPORTING AB 1868 - AIR
RESOURCES BOARD MEMBERSHIP
• WHEREAS, the City of Newport Beach is located in the
South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQM) and
concerned about the quality of our air; and
WHEREAS, the SCAQMD 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 SCAQMD and Bay Area AQ D each be given
permanent seats on the Air Resources Board; and
WHEREAS, the SCAQMD under current law has to share an
ARB seat on a rotating basis; and
WHEREAS, the Air Resources Board has stated that since
the SCAQMD 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
SCAQ1VID have a permanent ARE seat; and
WHEREAS, to provide for a permanent seat on the ARB,
the SCAQNID requested Assembly Member Charles M. Calderon to
introduce Assembly Bill 1868.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Newport
Beach 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.
Is ADOPTED this 10th day
