RESOLUTION NO. 89 -2881
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF TEMPLE CITY 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 DEVESTATING 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 detrimen-
tal 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 govern-
ments 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 addi-
tional 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 addi-
tional 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 Temple City
requests the State Air Resources Board to take the following
actions related to the Air Quality Management Plan;
SECTION 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 intrusive enforcement; and
SECTION 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.
RESOLUTION NO. 89 -2881 PAGE 2

municates this position to each member of the State Air Resources
