STAFF REPORT
The attached correspondence from San Bernardino County
outlines a proposal whereby the city of San Bernardino would
join with the County and other cities to participate in the
development of a Regional Air Quality Element. This Element
is a requirement of the SCAB Air Quality Management Plan. The
AQMP provides for a series of actions to be taken by cities
pursuant to an Air Quality Element adopted into their
respective General Plans by January 1, 1991.
The County of San Bernardino will serve as the lead agency
for selecting a Consultant and for developing the Regional
Air Quality Element. The City of San Bernardino will be able
to use the information developed in meeting its Obligation to
have an Air Quality Element in place by January 1, 1991.
Based on the population, the City's "contribution range"
would be between $9,400 and $18,800.
It is therefore recommended that the resolution presented be
adopted and that the Mayor and Council designate Larry Reed
as the member of the Technical Committee and that a member of
the Common Council be designated as the City's representative
. on the Advisory Committee.
NOTE:
This matter was originally referred to the Ways and
Means Committee; however, at that time, there was
not sufficient background information available to
the Committee. The background information has now
been obtained and will be available to the Commit-
tee at its next regular meeting, in order that the
many facets of the program can be examined in
detail.

Dear Ms. Nadeau:
.
I have enclosed the information you requested regarding San
Bernardino County's proposal for your city's participation in a
Regional Air Quality Element.
The Clean Air Act*, AB 2595, provides the legal authority for the
South Coast Air Quality Management District (SQAQMD) to adopt and
enforce regulations to achieve and maintain ambient air quality.
These regulations are contained in the SCAQMD Air Quality
Management Plan (AQMP) which was adopted by the California Air
Resource Board in August 1989. The AQMP is a 20 year comprehensive
control program designed to bring the South Coast Air Basin in
the compliance with State and Federal air standards.
The AQMP states that local jurisdictions must be responsible for
implementing parts of the plan along with other agencies including
SCAG, California Air Resource Board, and the SCAQMD.
The preparation for an air quality element for local jurisdictions
is referenced in Sections I, II, and IV within the AQMP.
I. Executive Summary
All cities and counties should adopt air quality
elements into their General Plans by January 1,
1991. Through these elements action programs are
to be developed applicable to each jurisdiction to
further implement. control measures in the AQMP.
II. Transportation and Control Measures
2b. Parking Management
By July 1, 1990 adopt Air Quality Element
(local government) into General Plans to
identify local parking control methods.

Please refer to Clean Air Act AB, 2595 Section (1), page 2 and
Section (9) 40716 page 13.

2e. Auto Use Restrictions
Adopt Air Quality Element by July 1, 1990 into
General Plan to identify local programs to
enhance transit performance.
3a. Truck Dispatching, Rescheduling and Rerouting
Adopt Air Quality Element by July 1, 1990 to
alter truck delivery by rerouting trucks and
changing times of delivery.
IV. Energy Conservation Control Measures
Measure 17.
Local government to amend General Plan to
attain jObs/housing balance performance goals
by January 1, 1991.
Beginning in 1990 the SCAQMD will be responsible for reporting
every six months to the California Air Resource Board to assess
the progress made by local jurisdictions in adopting policy and
regulation to reduce air poll~tion in the South Coast Air Basin.
Accordina to the SCAOMD the adootion of an air aualitv element is
a vital steo in identifvina and adootina control methods to
reduce air oollution in the Countv Coast Air Basin.
San Bernardino County has already received formal commitment from
12 of the 14 cities that fall within the SCAQMD.
If your have any other additional questions please call Julie
Hemphill at (714) 387-3180.

Dear Marsha Julin:
.
San Bernardino County in cooperation with SANBAG would like to
request San Bernardino's commitment to participate in the proposed
Regional Air Quality Element. As you know, this Element is
envisioned to provide a framework of policy, actions and
implementation strategies for adoption by the County and cities
in .~e~onse to r~""l1i ....a.Wi.ll!:ll"~f!I n'f thle 1 qRC} South Coast Air Basin's
~~l ~l~ty Management Plan (AO~
The AQMP was adopted by the California Air Resources Board (CARB)
on August 15, 1989. Control measures in the A~ propose a wide
variety of means for achieving the goals of regional mobility,
balanced growth_ and cleaner air, including local air quality
elements. All of the measures have a legal mandate to be
implemented. If local implementation is not successful the South
Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) will be in a
position to execute its regulatory authority and intervene, which
may cause loss of certain local decision-making powers, including
land use controls over pollution generating development.
Although full implementation is to occur over a 20 year period,
results of reduced air pollution must be shown in the first five
years of the AQMP. San Bernardino County is proposing a cooperative
effort to meet the first phase mandate by SCAQMD that local
jurisdictions adopt air quality elements that study and develop
policies to reduce air pollution. Therefore, your formal
commitment to participate in t~e Regional Air Quality Element is
now requested.
You are urged to respond as soon as possible to this proposal and
adopt the enclosed resolution addressing the need for a Regional
Air Quality Element. (This resolution is being provided as a
guide. It can be revised as necessary for your jurisdiction.)
.
Attached you will also find a proposed work program which explains
scheduling, citizen participation, technical and advisory
committees, and an estimate of each city's proportionate cost for
preparing the Element.

We request your Council to approve the resolution which recognizes
the need for improved air quality in San Bernardino County area
and:
1) recognizes the County as the lead agency for the
project in cooperation with SANBAG and the cities in
San Bernardino County within the SCAQMD;
2) allocates funding in the dollar amount range proposed for
each participating city;
3) authorizes transfer of allocated funding to the County
by April 1, 1990 (arrangements can be made on an
individual basis to transfer those funds no later than
July, 1990);
4) appoints the Planning Director or his designee to the
Technical Committee to be formed as part of this
effort; and
.
5) appoints a Council member to the Advisory Committee.
If you need any further information or discussion of this proposal,
staff would be happy to meet with you. You may call Sharon
Hightower, Planning Officer, at 387-4141, or Julie Hemphill,
General Plan Team, at 387-3180'.
Upon your city making a commitment to this project, please send a
copy of your adopted resolution to Ms. Hemphill at:
Land Management Department
Office of Planning
General Plan Team
385 N. Arrowhead Avenue, 3rd Floor
San Bernardino, CA 92415-0182
By January 1, 1990, the County will be in the process of selecting
an environmental planning consultant to prepare the Regional Air
Quality Element. You will continue to be notified of actions
taken to begin this effort.
Thank you for your interest and support of a Regional Air Quality
Element.
