1982-18 RESOLUTION NO. 82-18
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
GRAND TERRACE, CALIFORNIA, OPPOSING ASSEMBLY BILL
2660 (LEVINE)
WHEREAS, the Governing Board of the South Coast Air Quality
Management District consists of ten 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 Committees of the four counties that appoint
them to serve on the District Board; and
WHEREAS, board of supervisors members are accountable to the
electorate and the other members of each of the boards of supervisors that
appoint them to serve on 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
need; and
WHEREAS, Assembly Bill 2660, introduced by Assemblyman Mel Levine,
seeks to usurp this historical 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 community;
and
WHEREAS, this Bill would affect only the South Coast Air Quality
Management District - and none of the other more than forty local air
pollution control districts in California - making this a transparent special
interest attempt to weaken this District's accountability and its air quality
program;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Grand Terrace expresses its strong oppostion to Assembly Bill 2660 and urges
the members of the Legislature to rejectthis undemocratic proposal .
ADOPTED this 8th day of April , 1982.
