Appropriation Adjustment and Agreement — 2014 AQMD <br />December 2, 2014 <br />Page 2 <br />$210,000 in funds from the South Coast Air Quality Management District's Clean Transportation <br />Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee (MSRC) for the conversion of seven <br />new heavy duty trucks to propane fuel usage. The heavy duty vehicles being converted to <br />propane are identified in the annual equipment replacement schedule and AQMD is recognizing <br />this purchase as meeting the 50% matching requirement for the grant. As a result, there is no <br />unbudgeted money used for the purchase and conversion of these vehicles. <br />The use of propane fuel provides a clean and cost efficient alternative to traditional gasoline <br />products without the harmful hydrocarbon emissions. The cost of propane fuel is very stable and <br />consistently runs under $2.00 per gallon. Propane is in abundant supply and domestically <br />produced which provides the City with a reliable low cost option to regular gasoline. On October <br />21, 2014, City Council approved the construction of a new propane fueling station at the <br />Corporate Yard. This fueling station will be available for all City -owned propane fuel vehicles as <br />well as providing the public access to this fueling option. <br />STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT <br />Approval of this item allows the City to meet Goal #5 Community Health, Livability, Engagement <br />& Sustainability, Objective #2, Expand opportunities for conservation and environmental <br />sustainability. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />This action does not impact the General Fund, and will not utilize any Internal Service funding <br />that was not originally appropriated. The appropriation adjustment will recognize 2014 AQMD <br />Clean Transportation grant funding in the amount of $210,000 in the MSRC Reimbursement <br />revenue account (no. 03110002- 52351) and appropriate same to expenditure account (no. <br />03110102 - 66400). The 50% match is available in the Equipment Replacement fund in the <br />amount of $210,000 (no. 07510101 66400). <br />APPROVED AS TO FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS: <br />Francisco Gutierrez. <br />Executive Director <br />Finance and Management Services Agency <br />CLI /es <br />Exhibit: Agreement <br />20E -2 <br />
