GOVERNMENT MATCH PROGRAM
DEPARTMENT: Administrative Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution, authorizing the City Manager to submit an application to the SCAQMD
(South Coast Air Quality Management District) and MSRC (Mobile Source Air Pollution
Reduction Review Committee) for funding under the Local Government Match Program.
Authorize the City Manager or his designee to enter into agreements with the SCAQMD/MSRC
necessary to participate in the Subvention Fund Match Program if selected for funding, subject to
City Attorney approval.
BACKGROUND
Staff continuously seeks grants to help pay for projects, programs, and equipment. In this case,
staff seeks $20,000 from the MSRC to help pay for the increased cost of buying a Compressed
Natural Grant (CNG) fueled dump truck. The dump truck is a replacement vehicle approved in
the FY 2003-2004 budget. A condition of the grant requires a 100% match of AB 2766 funds.
AB 2766 funds are available for this purpose, without impacting other projects or programs.
The City is a regional leader in the purchase and use of low- and no -emission vehicles. The
City's fleet currently has 15 low- and no -emission vehicles. There are CNG filling stations at
City Hall and the City Corporation Yard. When the Transit Maintenance Facility opens, it will
have a fast -fill CNG station for Transit vehicles and be open to the public 24 hours a day, 7 days
a week. Funding for many of these vehicles and filling stations was supported by matching
grants from the SCAQMD/MSRC.
adopted: 6q -g
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Not apply for the MSRC Local Government Match program funds.
FISCAL IMPACT
If the application is successful and the maximum grant is awarded, the City will receive $20,000
toward the purchase of a CNG -fueled dump truck. The grant requires the City to provide an
equal match ($20,000) of its AB 2766 subvention funds toward the purchase of the dump truck.
