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 establishes a new program, Community Air Protection Program (CAPP), 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 the California Air Resources Board (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 CAPP 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; and
The final AB 617 Grant Agreement is effective February 1, 2019 through April 1, 2021 and is retroactive because it was received by the District on May 9, 2019 with direction to sign and return to the Air Resources Board no later than May 14, 2019. During this timeframe, ARB has accepted the District’s signed Agreement pending Board Resolution.
The District’s contracted attorney has reviewed the Community Air Protection Program Grant Agreement and Resolution for content.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Do not approve the Retroactive Contract with the state Air Resources Board and do not approve the Air Quality Management District’s request to accept the AB 617 Community Air Protection Program Grant as proposed.
