MEMORANDUM DATE: July 3, 2018 TO: The Honorable City Council FROM: Bryan Cook, City Manager By: Cathy Burroughs, Director of Parks and Recreation SUBJECT: PRESENTATION ON MOBILE SOURCE AIR POLLUTION REDUCTION · REVIEW COMMITTEE (MSRC) CLEAN TRANSPORTATION FUNDING LOCAL GOVERNMENT PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM AND ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NO. 18-5342 RECOMMENDATION: The City Council is requested to: 1. Receive the presentation on the MSRC's Clean Transportation Funding Local Partnership Program; 2. Adopt Resolution No. 18-5342 ; and 3. Authorize staff to submit a proposal to the MSRC to partially fund the purchase of two electric utility vehicles. BACKGROUND: 1. In September 2017, staff received notification of the MSRC 's Clean Transportation Funding Local Government Partnership Program. 2 . In February 2018, while preparing the Parks and Recreation Department budget, staff contact the MSRC to determine if the purchase of electric utility vehicles would be an eligible program to be funded under the Local Government Partnership Program. The response from the MSRC was that it could be eligible. 3. In late March 2018, staff received further clarification from the MSRC regarding the purchase of the electr ic vehicles and reviewed the submittal requirements . 4. On June 19, 2018, the City Council adopted the 2018 -19 Fiscai ·Year (FY) budget which included Air Quality Management District (AQMD) funds for the purchase of City Council July 3 , 2018 Page 2 of 3 two electric utility vehicles; however staff intends to apply for partial funding of the vehicles through the MSRC Local Government Partnership Program thereby reduc i ng the amount of AQMD funds required . ANALYSIS : The MSRC was established by the California Legislature in 1990 . Its sole mission is to invest funds to reduce air pollution generated by mobile sources . The MSRC's Local Government Match Program has been successfully implemented for over 17 years. This year the MSRC is partnering directly with cities and counties within the South Coast AQMD with a new Local Government Partnership Program that seeks to improve upon the prior program. In particular, the new Local Government Partnership Program sets aside a pro-rata share of MSRC funding for each city and county within the South Coast AQMD who participate in the AB 2766 Subvention Fund Program . The program is not a competitive procurement -funds have been set aside for each city and county. The funding allocation is based upon the amount of AB 2766 Subvention Funds each jurisdiction receives. Cities and counties that receive an annual allocat ion of AB 2766 Subvention Funds less than $50,000 are elig ible to receive an MSRC Partnership match of $50,000. Temple City falls into this category. Eligible project categories for which MSRC funds can be sought include: • Light-duty zero emission vehicle purchases or leases • Medium & heavy-duty zero emission vehicle purchases • Near-zero emission heavy-duty alternative fuel vehicle purchases and repowers • Electric vehicle charging infrastructure installation • Alternative fuel refueling infrastructure new construction or expansion The MSRC will contribute a portion of an eligible project's total cost-the balance of the cost must be borne by the participating city or county. It is the express desire of the MSRC that participating cities and counties use-to the maximum extent possible-their AB 2766 Subvention Funds as a match . In order to participate in the MSRC Local Government Partnership Program , jurisdictions must complete the following: 1. Present the MSRC-provided PowerPoint Presentation to the City Council or County Board of Supervisors. 2. Obtain a · Resolution or Minute Action Documentation that acknowledges receipt of the MSRC presentation from city or county staff; authorizes the proposed project; and allocates the necessary matching funds. City Council July 3, 2018 Page 3 of 3 3. Prepare and submit a Program Proposal that includes a project implementation plan, proposed budget, and implementation schedule . Proposals are due to the MSRC by August 2 , 2018. Staff has included $32,000 in the 2018-19 FY budget for the purchase of two (2) electric utility vehicles to replace two (2) 2002 electric GEM carts. The electric carts are used on a regular basis for routine maintenance tasks in the park and in support of community events (i.e . collecting and dumping trash, hauling equipment and supplies ; etc.). The GEM carts are in extremely poor condition , one is unusable . During development of the budget, staff originally proposed funding the entire purchase amount w ith AQMD AB 2766 Subvention Funds. While the City has sufficient AB 2766 funds to cover the purchase of the vehicles, those funds are also used to cover a portion of the Enterprise lease for the City's fleet. The City currently receives approximately $45 ,000 annually in AB 2766 Subvention Funds and budgets just under $40 ,000 for the lease and maintenance of hybrid vehicles . CITY STRATEGIC GOALS: Adoption of Resolution 18-5342 authorizing staff to submit a proposal to the MSRC to partially fund the purchase of two electric utility vehicles will further the City's Strateg ic Goal of Good Governance . FISCAL IMPACT: The City Council , as part of the FY 2018-19 City Budget, has appropriated $32 ,000 in AQMD funds for the purchase of two (2) e lectri c utility vehicles. Approval of this agenda ite m will authorize staff to solicit MSRC Local Government Partnership Program funding which , if approved will reduce the impact on the City's AQMD AB 2766 Subvention Funds .
