A RESOLUTION OF THE
CITY OF EL SEGUNDO
SUPPORTING AB 2015 (LIEU)
WHICH ENHANCES MUNICIPAL REPRESENTATION
ON THE SCAQMD BOARD OF DIRECTORS
BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of El Segundo as follows
SECTION 1 The City Council fords as follows
A It is in the interest of all municipal governments that cities be
equitably represented on policy- making regional boards,
B The current number of municipal representatives on the South
Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) does not fully
recognize cities in the South Bay and Westside Sectors of Los
Angeles County and places the cities of Calabasas and Malibu in
what is identified by statute as the Eastern Sector of the SCAQMD
jurisdiction,
C Providing separate seats for a city within the Western Sector and
the City of Los Angeles will ensure that the population of the City of
Los Angeles and the populations of smaller cities in the Western
and Eastern Sectors are represented on the SCAQMD Board
commensurate with their populations,
D Realigning cities within Los Angeles County into sectors which are
more geographically equitable is significant and important to
regional policy decision - making,
E. Providing the cities of Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino
Counties with representation which more fairly represents their
growing population and greater pollution levels fosters greater "buy -
in" by providing more local input and participation by elected
officials throughout the District,
F The current proposal would retain the expertise of the Sacramento
appointees,
G The current proposal has received the support of the South Bay
Cities Council of Governments, the Las Virgenes- Malibu Council of
Governments, the Gateway Council of Governments, the League of
California Cities, Los Angeles County Division, the Contract Cities
Association, the Independent Cities Association and the City of Los
Angeles,
