RESOLUTION NO. 82R-166
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF ANAHEIM OPPOSING ASSEMBLY BILL 2660.
-
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 appoints 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 District1s accountability and its air quality program.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council
of the City of Anaheim expresses its strong opposition to AB 2660
and urges the members of the Legislature to reject this
undemocratic proposal.
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION is approved and adopted by
the City Council of the City of Anaheim this 30t y of
March, 1982.
