MEMORANDUM
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: Douglas Gearhart, APCO
DATE: June 19, 2018
SUBJECT: (Sitting as the Lake County Air Quality Management District Board of Directors): Discussion and Consideration of a Letter of Opposition to AB2336 regarding School Bus Funding, and authorize the Chair to sign
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This item is being submitted as an “extra” agenda item. The justification for this request to consider an item not on the posted agenda is as follows:
The need to take action came to my attention subsequent to the posting of the current agenda.
There is a need to take immediate action before the next available agenda.
On Thursday, June 14th, I was made aware of an Assembly Bill that will affect a significant source of funding to replace older school buses in Lake County. This bill if it is passes will prevent Lake County and many other counties from participating in the Low Emission School Bus Replacement Program, as all funds for this program will be prioritized for the San Joaquin Valley and South Coast Air Districts.
I am requesting an opportunity to discuss this Assembly Bill and request the Board Approve sending an opposition letter to the Environmental Committee Chair and the Author.
