Approval of Application,

25% Matching AQMD Funds

Recommendation:

City Council direct staff to apply for funds available through the 25% Subvention Funds Match Program administered by South Coast AQMD.

Background

The City currently receives approximately $20,000 annually in AB2766 Subvention Funds, which may be used for projects which reduce air pollution. The City has used the funds to purchase alternative fuel vehicles.

The one-time match program was developed to encourage timely use of AB2766 Subvention Funds by providing a 25% match using AB2766 Discretionary Funds (which normally are competitively granted). The application must be submitted by March 3, 1998.

Analysis:

The City may be able to receive approximately $18,000 in additional funds through this program. These matching funds, together with AQMD funds already available to the City, will be used to purchase alternative fuel vehicles as replacements per the Equipment Replacement Schedule during this fiscal year and in 1988-89.
