2. Set Public Hearing November 13, 1998 to Adopt Proposed
Rule 112 - Definition of Minor Violation and Guidelines for Issuance of Notice to Comply
Coy (909) 396-2434
(ccoy@aqmd.gov)
Effective January 1, 1996, AB 2937 (Brulte) required each air district in California to develop a rule governing issuance of a Notice to Comply for minor violations. A California Air Pollution Control Officer Association (CAPCOA) task force was convened that year to draft core rule language for adoption by all districts statewide, subject to minor local modifications as required. Following numerous CAPCOA public consultation meetings held throughout the state in 1997 and a recent local District workshop, comments were evaluated and rule language modified as necessary. Proposed Rule 112 represents the culmination of this effort to meet the requirements of AB 2937. This item was reviewed by the Stationary Source Committee on September 18, 1998.
3. Set Public Hearing November 13, 1998 to Amend Rule
1610 - Old Vehicle Scrapping
Chang (909) 396-3186
(echang@aqmd.gov)
At its August 14, 1998 meeting, the Board postponed action on staff's proposal to amend Rule 1610 for 60 days and referred this item to the Technology Committee to resolve issues associated with the parts destruction requirement. The Technology Committee reviewed staff's August 14 proposal to address U.S. EPA comments on rule approvability, and indicated that the proposal reasonably responded to issues raised by the car collectors. In addition, staff was directed to continue working with impacted parties to further resolve remaining issues. Subsequently, staff met with the impacted parties to develop a revised parts destruction requirement. Although complete agreement was not obtained, proposed rule language was developed, representing staff's best effort to bridge differences among impacted parties. This item was reviewed by the Technology Committee on September 25, 1998.
Budget/Fiscal Impact
4. Adopt Resolution Amending Compensation for AQMD's
Hearing Board Vice Chairman; Reinstating Hearing Board's Authority to Hold Single-Member
Hearings; and Clarifying Hearing Board Members' Attendance
Wallerstein (909) 396-3131
(bwallerstein@aqmd.gov)
In 1995 when the salary of the member elected by fellow Board members to act as Chair was increased to reflect additional responsibilities and duties of the office over and above other Hearing Board members, a compensation differential for the Hearing Board Vice Chair was not addressed. This action is to address that inequity by increasing the compensation for the Hearing Board Vice Chair when assuming duties normally performed by the Chair in the Chair's absence. Amendments are also proposed to clarify Board Members' attendance requirements, and under what circumstances a Board member and his or her alternate may be compensated for attending hearings on the same day. This action will also reinstate the Hearing Board's authority to hold single-member hearings pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 40501.3. This item was reviewed by the Administrative Committee on September 18, 1998, and recommended for approval.
5. Approve Modification of Compensation Package for
Certain Designated Deputies to Equalize Benefits
Wallerstein (909) 396-3131
(bwallerstein@aqmd.gov)
Three Designated Deputies are serving under contracts originally executed several years ago, the terms of which provide lower benefits than are currently afforded to the remaining Designated Deputies. The Acting Executive Officer proposes to modify the compensation package for these individuals to update benefit provisions consistent with those provided to all other Designated Deputies. This action is to approve the modified compensation package for these Designated Deputies.

The AQMD's Equipment Replacement Plan was established to replace obsolete and worn equipment and vehicles over a five-year period. In accordance with the Plan's replacement guidelines, up to forty vehicles are needed to replace high-mileage vehicles that are no longer cost effective to maintain and repair. The authorization allows the AQMD Purchasing Manager to purchase vehicles through the California Department of General Services at a lower cost resulting from the economy of scale purchasing. The total expenditure will not exceed $720,000. This item was reviewed by the Administrative Committee on September 18, 1998, and recommended for approval.
16. Recognize and Appropriate Funds, and Execute
Contract with National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration to Provide Upper Air

The contract for the FY audit ending June 30, 1998 expires on June 30, 1999. The AQMD is in the process of transitioning to new financial systems which are Year 2000 compliant. Staff recommends that Vargas, Lopez and Company's contract be extended for one additional year and amended to include additional consulting services for internal control review. The total cost of this amendment would not exceed $35,000; $20,900 for financial audit services to be included in the FY 1999-2000 budget, and $15,000 for consultant services available in the current budget.
