1993-23 -- Resolution No. 93-23
A Resolution of the City of Grand Terrace
Committing to Develop the Local Portion of the
Transportation Control Measure Subregional Implementation Program
in accordance with the requirements of the
the 1991 South Coast Air Quality Management Plan and
the 1992 Federal Attainment Plan for Carbon Monoxide
WHEREAS, both the 1991 Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) and the
1992 Federal Attainment Plan for Carbon Monoxide (CO Plan) include transportation
control measures (TCM's) for implementation by local governments; and
WHEREAS, the California Air Resources Board gave conditional approval
to the local government TCM's in the 1991 AQMP pending submission of
implementation commitments, additional documentation, and secured funding by the
South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) and the Southern California
Association of Governments (SCAG) no later than July 1, 1993; and
WHEREAS, San Bernardino Associated Governments (SANBAG) is
required to provide documentation on local implementation of TCM's by July 16, 1993,
to support SCAG's conformity finding for approximately $2 billion in currently
unprogrammed local and regional transportation projects; and
WHEREAS, the Governing Board of the SCAQMD will implement a
backstop rule (Proposed Rule 1504) by January 1994 to ensure that local TCM emissions
reductions will be achieved; and
WHEREAS, the regional actions taken by the SCAQMD would more
adversely impact this jurisdiction's economic vitality than actions taken locally; and
WHEREAS, the need for and stringency of regional actions will be
determined by the amount of local action taken to achieve the local trip reduction target;
and
WHEREAS, local implementation of actions to reduce trips, and
designation of a local trip reduction target that reflects the ability of the jurisdiction to
reduce trips, would minimize the application of regional actions in this jurisdiction; and
WHEREAS, the CO Plan delegates SANBAG the authority and
responsibility to designate local trip reduction targets; and
WHEREAS, target designation based on each jurisdiction's ability to reduce
trips requires local governments to provide an inventory of actions taken to reduce trips
after 1990 and quantification of the effectiveness of all other available local TCM actions
to SANBAG by July 1993 for approval in August 1993; and
WHEREAS, the SCAQMD proposes to incorporate the short-term (1994)
local trip reduction targets developed through SANBAG into the Handbook on Local
Government Implementation of Trip Reduction Ordinances and SCAQMD Proposed
Rule 1504 by September 1993; and
WHEREAS, the Congestion Management Program for San Bernardino
County, as amended by action of the SANBAG Board of Directors on April 7, 1993,
requires South Coast Air Basin jurisdictions to commit to actions by June 30, 1993, and
to adopt a transportation control measure ordinance by December 31, 1993, as a
measure of compliance or risk losing state subvention funds;
NOW,THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City of Grand Terrace
will participate in developing both a short- and long-term local implementation program
which SANBAG will incorporate into the TCM subregional implementation program.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City of Grand Terrace agrees to
prepare a work program to participate in the following activities necessary to develop
and implement a short-term TCM subregional implementation program by December 31,
1993:
1. PARTICIPATE IN THE SANBAG TCM TECHNICAL AND POLICY
ADVISORY COMMITTEES to assist in developing the TCM subregional
implementation program including, but not limited to, development of
regional implementation actions, refinement of the content and structure of
the local government measures in the TCM subregional implementation
program, providing input to the regional agencies, and designation of local
TCM performance targets;
2. DEVELOP AN INVENTORY OF ACTIONS which have been taken since
1987 including adoption and implementation dates which would achieve
f; quantifiable and enforceable trip reductions after 1990 and no later than
December 31, 1994;
3. EVALUATE THE POTENTIAL EFFECTIVENESS of all local government
actions contained in the SCAQMD Handbook for Local Government
Implementation of Trip Reduction Ordinances including transportation
demand management and land use measures to be used to designate local
trip reduction targets;
4. IDENTIFY FUNDING AND RESOURCE CONSTRAINTS that need to be
overcome to implement local government actions by December 31, 1993, as
well as the public acceptability of local actions;
5. Assist the SANBAG TCM Advisory Committees to DEVELOP
STRATEGIES TO OVERCOME FUNDING AND RESOURCE
CONSTRAINTS as well as to obtain public acceptance of actions;
i
6. QUANTIFY THE ESTIMATED TRIP REDUCTIONS to be achieved by
the end of 1994 for actions which have, or will be, taken as part of the
local implementation program;
7. DEVELOP A LOCAL IMPLEMENTATION PLAN which meets the federal
and/or regional criteria for enforceability, identifying resources, funding
and schedule of implementation of local actions that have, or will be
adopted as part of the short-term subregional implementation program;
8. DEVELOP A LOCAL MONITORING PROGRAM to monitor
implementation of actions taken locally to reduce trips;
9. Participate with SANBAG and other local jurisdictions to DEVELOP A
CENTRALIZED MONITORING PROGRAM to provide information
needed to periodically update the subregional transportation model, to
track implementation of local action which have, or will be, taken as part
of both the subregional implementation program, and assist in determining
the effectiveness of the actions;
10. ADOPT AND IMPLEMENT ACTIONS contained in our menu of actions
by December 31, 1993.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City of Grand Terrace will
participate in the SANBAG TCM Technical and Policy Advisory Committees to work
toward a subregional consensus on policy and technical input to the Governing Board of
the SCAQMD on the development of Rule 1504.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City of Grand Terrace will
develop a work program to participate in developing the long-term local implementation
program which SANBAG will include in the long-term TCM subregional implementation
program to be incorporated into the 1994 South Coast Federal Attainment Plan for
Ozone.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City of Grand Terrace hereby
states its commitment for a good faith effort to meet the City's trip reduction target in
order to avoid to the maximum extent possible application of the SCAQMD back stop
rules. However, the City expresses reservations concerning meeting the target alone.
The City believes that several cities together and/or the subregional agencies should be
responsible for meeting a target instead.
