Adopt Executive Officer's FY 2006-07 Budget and Work Program
The Executive Officer's Budget for FY 2006-07 represents the input over
the past several months from Board members, staff, and the public. This
year's process included meetings of the Budget Advisory Committee; a
public hearing on February 3, 2006 to receive input on the AQMD's
Program Goals and objectives; and two budget workshops, one for the
public held on April 12, 2006 and one for the Board held on April 28,
2006. This submittal transmits the required appropriations and reserves
necessary to adopt the proposed budget. |

Amend Regulation III – Fees
Staff has prepared two options for Board consideration to amend
Regulation III – Fees for FY 2006-07. Both options incorporate
proposals to better recover program costs and changes to better clarify
or correct existing language. Both options include new Rule 313, which
is proposed to consolidate administrative fiscal activities such as fee
surcharges and Fee Review Committee activities. Option 1 includes an
increase in fees reflecting the 2005 California Consumer Price Index
(CPI) of 3.65 percent for more fee categories for FY 2006-07.
Furthermore, in order to better recover program costs, Permit Processing
Fees, Annual Operating Permit Renewal Fees and Annual Operating Emission
Fees are proposed to be increased by an additional increment above the
CPI, resulting in a total increase of 10 percent for each of the next
three years through FY 2008-09. Option 2 proposes to increase all AQMD
related fees by CPI for only FY 2006-07. (This item was also discussed
at the April 28, 2006 Stationary Source Committee meeting.) |

Authorize Purchase of Off-Site Storage and Destruction Services
AQMD maintains over 7,500 cubic feet of paper records in off-site
storage. AQMD also performs nightly tape backup onto magnetic tape for
the various minicomputers and file servers under Information
Management's control. Record retention and best effort in vital
protection require off-site storage of these paper records and computer
tapes in case of fire, earthquake or any other natural disaster. AQMD's
Records Retention Policy also requires the destruction of all records
and information that have reached the limit of their retention period.
This action is to obtain approval for the purchase of off-site storage
services for paper records and nightly back-up tapes, and destruction
services for paper records and microfiche for one year. Funds for this
purchase ($88,100) are included in the FY 2006-07 Budget. |
