RESOLUTION NO. 80R-213
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF ANAHEIM SUPPORTING H.R. 6466 TO AMEND THE
CLEAN AIR ACT RELATING TO ANNUAL MANDATORY
VEHICLE INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE.
WHEREAS, the Federal Environmental Protection Agency
has interpreted the Clean Air Act of 1977 to require an annual
mandatory vehicle inspection and maintenance program in California;
and
WHEREAS, federal sanctions are currently in effect in
California, denying construction permits for new industrial facili-
ties emitting 100 tons of pollutants annually; and
WHEREAS, the Environmental Protection Agency has announced
it will invoke further sanctions in California by withholding waste
water construction funds and federal highway funds; and
WHEREAS, no conclusive evidence has been offered demon-
strating that an annual mandatory vehicle inspection and maintenance
program would be cost-effective in achieving ambient air quality
standards; and
WHEREAS, the United States Congress is currently consider-
ing a measure which would return authority to the states to determine
whether a state desires to include within its air quality plan a
program of mandatory annual vehicle inspection and maintenance; and
WHEREAS, H.R. 6466 by Congressmen Satterfield, Dannemeyer,
and others is currently before the Interstate and Foreign Commerce
Subcommittee on Health and Environment in the House of Representatives;
and
WHEREAS, enactment of H.R. 6466 would provide the California
Legislature with additional time within which to properly evaluate
the cost-effectiveness of a mandatory vehicle inspection and mainten-
ance program.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of
the City of Anaheim urges the early enactment of H.R. 6466 to ensure
that California's motorists will not be subjected to an annual man-
datory inspection and maintenance program that is not cost-effective
nor necessary to assure improvement of the state's air quality; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that enactment of H.R. 6466 will
improve California's economy avoiding imposition of additional sanc-
tions in California, and eliminating sanctions which are currently
imposed; and
-1-
BE IT fURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be
provided to the House Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee, to
Congressmen David E. Satterfield, William E. Dannemeyer, and to
State Senator John Briggs, and Assemblyman Ross Johnson.
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION is approved and adopted by the
City Council of the City of Anaheim this 13th day of May, 1980.
