A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, CALIFORNIA, OPPOSING
ASSEMBLY BILL 2660 - APPOINTMENT OF MEMBERS
TO THE SOUTH COAST AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT
DISTRICT, AND URGING THE MEMBERS OF THE
LEGISLATURE TO REJECT THE PROPOSAL
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, members of boards of supervisors are
accountable to the electorate and to 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 needs; 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 the
District's accountability and its air quality program.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that this City Council
expresses its strong opposition to Assembly Bill 2660 and urges
the members of the Legislature to reject the proposal.
