Item #7 <br />CITY OF COLTON <br />AGENDA REPORT <br />FOR COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 3, 2005 <br />TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL <br />FROM: AMER JAKHER, P.E., CITY ENGINEER <br />SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE APPLICATION <br />FOR FUNDS FROM MOBILE RESOURCE AIR POLLUTION <br />REDUCTION REVIEW COMMITTEE (MSRC) <br />DATE: APRIL 25, 2005 <br />BACKGROUND: <br />The City of Colton/Public Services Department has a need to replace some of its aging fleet of <br />vehicles. South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) has mandated that a percentage <br />of replacement must be alternate fuel vehicles such as compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles, and <br />to offset the cost of such mandate, grants are available from Mobile Resource Air Pollution <br />Reduction Review Committee (MSRC). <br />DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: <br />Each year MSRC allocates funds to government agencies through a grant process to fund projects <br />such as CNG vehicles, CNG refueling stations or equipment relating video conferencing. These <br />grant funds from MSRC do have a match, and staff recommends the use of AB2766 Subvention <br />Funds (not General Fund Revenue) from AQMD as the match. This will not have a General Fund <br />impact, yet will benefit the General Fund. Due to budget restraints during fiscal year 2004/05 the <br />City of Colton did not budget for vehicles to replace the aging fleet in various departments. This <br />grant will enable the City of Colton to replace vehicles at no cost to the City. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: <br />There is no adverse fiscal impact from adopting the attached resolution. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: <br />None <br />CONFLICT OF INTEREST: <br />None <br />
