Adopt Resolution Amending Records
Retention Schedule
State law authorizes the governing body of a local district to approve a
records retention schedule that classifies district records and
establishes a standard protocol for the disposition or destruction of
records. On May 6, 2005, the Board adopted the District's Records
Retention Policy and Records Retention Schedule. Pursuant to the
Policy, District staff has conducted a periodic review of the current
records categories and retention periods and has made recommendations
for changes, where appropriate.

Approve Appropriation of
Funds Designated for Permit Streamlining to AQMD's FY 2007-08 Budget
On November 3, 2006, the Board authorized appropriation and expenditure
of $650,000 for Professional and Temporary Services in AQMD's FY 2006-07
budget from the $2,000,000 specifically designated for Permit
Streamlining as part of the June 9, 2006 approval of the AQMD's FY
2006-07 budget. The Permit Streamlining designation was to fund a
series of staffing and program enhancements to increase permitting
efficiency and customer service. Staff has begun implementation of
these permit streamlining enhancements as part of the AQMD's FY 2006-07
budget appropriation and used $420,000 of the $650,000 with the
remaining unused portion at the end of FY 2006-07 being returned to the
General Fund designated for Permit Streamlining. This action is to
request appropriation of $230,000 to AQMD's FY 2007-08 budget to further
implement these permit streamlining enhancements. |

Add
and Delete Positions in FY 2007-08 Budget and Authorize Purchase of
Insurance Tracking Software
To provide enhanced oversight of contractor compliance with insurance
requirements for Technology Advancement's Carl Moyer Program projects,
this action is to add an Office Assistant position in Administrative and
Human Resources and to appropriate funding for an automated insurance
certificate tracking system. Also, this action is to add a Systems and
Programming Supervisor position in Information Management and to delete
a vacant Information Systems Training Specialist position. The cost of
these actions, based on current annual top-step salaries and benefits,
is approximately $156,763. The fully burdened cost of the Office
Assistant position and the automated insurance tracking system, which is
approximately $78,950, would be funded by the State's Carl Moyer
Program.

Appropriate Funds for Headquarters Refurbishment and Issue RFPs to
Re-roof Child Care Center and Seal and Re-stripe Parking Lots
In FY
2006-07, the Board appropriated funds for several building refurbishment
projects that, for various reasons, could not be completed. This action
is to re-appropriate to the FY 2007-08 Budget $845,000 that was
previously approved for building projects and to augment this
appropriation by $60,000 to cover increased costs for re-roofing the
child care center and refurbishing elevator cars, for a total
appropriation of $905,000. This action is also to issue RFPs to re-roof
the child care center and to seal and re-stripe parking lots. Funds
would be appropriated from the special designation set aside for
building refurbishment projects. |
