RESOLUTION NO. 2001-007 <br /> <br />A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF <br />SANTA ANA RECOMMENDING THAT THE CALIFORNIA <br />AIR RESOURCES BOARD CONTINUE ANY DECISION ON <br />IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ZERO EMISSION VEHICLE <br />MANDATE <br /> <br /> WHEREAS, air pollution is one of the leading causes of illness in Southern <br />California, and <br /> <br /> WHEREAS, mobile source emissions account for more than 60 percent of the air <br />pollution in the South Coast region, and <br /> <br /> WHEREAS, on January 25, 2001, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) is <br />scheduled to make a decision on implementation of the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) <br />mandate, and <br /> <br /> WHEREAS, the clean air goals that lead to the ZEV mandate are still valid; <br />however, the mandate can be improved to maximize the return on the investment of <br />resources in terms of cleaner air, and <br /> <br /> WHEREAS, encouraging investment in other technologies, such as fuel-cell <br />powered electric vehicles, hybrids, or compressed natural gas, can potentially provide <br />higher levels of air quality improvement, thereby protecting public health and providing <br />quicker relief to communities that suffer from air quality impacts, and <br /> <br /> WHEREAS, it is likely that significant costs of supporting the ZEV mandate - <br />installation and maintenance of charging stations, the cost of supporting electric vehicle <br />flee;.s, increased costs of conventional vehicles and other unforeseen costs - will fall <br />upon cities as unfunded mandates, <br /> <br />NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: <br /> <br />That the City of Santa Ana recommends that the California Air Resources <br />Board delay any decision on implementation of the Zero Emission Vehicle <br />mandate and consider alternatives that will establish a performance-based <br />approach to attaining air quality goals, with an emphasis on protecting <br />public health while exploring all alternative fuel technologies, and <br /> <br />That the City of Santa Ana requests CARB to further study the costs to <br />local governments of the ZEV mandate, meet with representatives of local <br />governments and representative organizations such as the League of <br />Cities, and to cooperatively develop recommendations on how to reduce <br />any fiscal impacts that might result from the mandate. <br /> <br />Resolution No. 2001-007 <br /> Page 1 of 2 <br /> <br /> <br />
