Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost
Subvention funding of $90,160 is included in the FY 2013-14 Air Quality Management District (AQMD) Budget. There is no change to net County cost.
Background
The State Budget Act of 2013 (Budget) contains an appropriation of $10,111,000 for subvention to local air pollution control districts. California Health and Safety Code 39802.5 requires $500,000 of the amount appropriated by the Budget be reserved for subvention to rural air pollution control districts to attain minimum subvention levels if certain criteria are met.
Reason for Recommendation
This request implements the Board's revenue requirement in the AQMD approved FY 2013-14 budget by authorizing the submittal of the application for continued subvention funding. These funds are appropriated in the State of California Budget Act of 2013 and are distributed to local air districts in accordance with formulas established by the Health and Safety Code. This year's annual fund award process mirrors that used in previous fiscal years, FY 2012-13 and FY 2011-12.
The completed Application for Subvention Funds form (Attachment A), designed to identify the total budget for AQMD's air pollution control program, including a detailed breakdown by funding source, will be submitted to the California Air Resources Board prior to November 15, 2013.
Action(s) to be taken following Board approval
1. Board Clerk to provide certified copy of Board's action to the AQMD
2. The Air Pollution Control Officer to submit FY 2013-14 Subvention funding application to the California Air Resources Board
