Summary of Request:
In 2017, the Governor signed legislation aimed at improving neighborhood-level air quality as part of the state’s Cap-and-Trade Program. AB 398 extended and improved the Cap-and-Trade Program which will provide billions of dollars in auction proceeds towards communities in California.
AB 617 established a new program, the Community Air Protection Program, to measure and reduce air pollution from mobile and stationary sources at the neighborhood level in the communities most impacted by air pollutants. AB 617 requires CARB to work closely with local air districts and communities to establish neighborhood air quality monitoring networks and to develop and implement plans to reduce emissions.
The Community Air Protection Program grant is intended to provide resources to local air districts to cover district costs associated with actions to reduce exposure to criteria air pollutants and toxic air contaminants in disadvantaged and low-income communities. It is requested that the Board adopt this Resolution to ratify the Air Pollution Control Officer’s execution of the grant agreement on behalf of the Mendocino County Air Quality Management District (District) and authorize the District’s acceptance of Year 7 CAP funding.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Do not approve the District’s participation in the Year 7 (Fiscal Year 2023-2024) CARB Community Air Protection Program and do not approve the District’s request to accept the Year 7 (Fiscal Year 2023-2024) CARB Community Air Protection Program Grant funds as proposed.
