"A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD TO
THE STATE AIR RESOURCES BOARD, URGING ITS
SUPPORT OF AMENDMENTS TO THE AIR QUALITY
MANAGEMENT PLAN WHICH PROVIDE FOR COMMON
SENSE ALTERNATIVES TO MINIMIZE JOB LOSS
AND OTHER DEVASTATING IMPACTS ON LOCAL
GOVERNMENT, THE ECONOMY AND CITIZENS."
WHEREAS, on March 17, 1989, the South Coast Air Quality
Management District Board adopted the draft 1989 Air Quality
Management Plan; and
WHEREAS, parts of the plan are reasonable measures to
achieve the important goal of clean air; and
WHEREAS, the Air Quality Management Plan contains
detrimental provisions and measures that will affect the
economic and financial well -being of every City in the Air Quality
Management District; and
WHEREAS, the plan will usurp the authority of local
governments to make land use decisions and grant such authority
to a regional organization with strict veto rights; and
WHEREAS, local governments will be required to impose
additional government red tape on the private sector, which would
make it more difficult for it to conduct business and commerce; and
WHEREAS, cities and counties will be required to add
additional employees to their payrolls to monitor compliance with
the AQMP; and
WHEREAS, there are cost - effective alternatives that would
clean up the air faster than the Air Quality Management Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the city of Lynwood
requests the State Air Resources Board to take the following
actions related to the Air Quality Management Plan:
1. Delete those measures from the 1989 Air Quality Management
Plan which are not technically feasible or proven; which are not
cost - effective; which have high socio- economic impacts, including
severe loss of jobs; which are not equitable in their impact on
businesses; and which are not verifiable without extremely intru-
sive enforcement; and
2. Consider measures and alternatives to the Air Quality
Management Plan which are cost - effective, technically feasible,
flexible, and incentive -based including an automobile buy -back program,
mobile source offset program, toll roads, and monorail system.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that
this position to each member of the St.
County Board of Supervisors and to the
to adopt ,a similar position.
