Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
February 26, 2019 - Approval of the District’s Carl Moyer Program Application for Funding Year 21.
Summary of Request:
The Carl Moyer Program is administered by the California Air Resources Board. Funding originates from the “smog-check waiver fee” and the tire impact fee assessed by the State. The Program creates incentives in the form of grants to cover an incremental portion of the cost of purchasing new, replacing existing, or retrofitting existing diesel engines with cleaner on-road and off-road engines. Diesel engines contribute about 40% of all oxides of nitrogen emissions (NOx) from mobile sources. NOx is one of the main contributors to ground-level ozone. A secondary focus of the program is reducing the PM-10 and toxic compounds also contained in diesel exhaust.
Since 2000, the District has provided funding through the Carl Moyer Program in the amount of $3,854,332 to public agencies and private companies for projects in Mendocino County.
The District is requesting the total allocation of $272,073 from ARB for fiscal year 2019/2020 which includes the District’s matching funds in the amount of $40,811. With the addition of the matching funds the District total allocation from ARB for fiscal year 2019/2020 is increased from $200,000 to $272,073. In a corresponding agenda item, the District is requesting Board authorization to transfer $40,811 of unallocated funds from the District’s AB 923 Fund Balance to the District’s Carl Moyer Program trust account to use as match funding for the Year 22 Carl Moyer Program application.
The Air Resources Board requires a resolution from the District Board authorizing the District to participate in the Year 22 Carl Moyer Program, accept Program funds and agree to follow the requirements of the Program.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Not approve the District’s participation in the Carl Moyer Program and direct District staff to locate alternative sources for funding or alternative programs.
