Background

Each year, as part of the budget process, staff brings forward to the Board and public the AQMD’s proposed Program Goals/Objectives for the new budget year. Staff believes it is important for as many interested parties as possible to have early input into the budget process. These goals/objectives (Attachment 1), which may be modified as a result of public input and Board direction, will be used in developing next year’s work program and budget request.

In addition, at the request of the Board’s Administrative Committee, staff has prepared a list of select accomplishments for CY 2008. These items are contained in Attachment 2 and are a sampling of the agency’s accomplishments over the last 12 months.

A public workshop to present the AQMD’s Budget and Work Program request for FY 2009-10 has been tentatively planned for April 29, 2009. The draft Budget and Work Program is expected to be available for public review in early April.
