Synopsis of History
The Board established several Advisory Groups in 1997 and periodically
reviews the operations of each. The purpose of each advisory group is to
allow direct input from community members into the rulemaking, technology, and
policy-making decisions conducted by the District. Each Advisory Group is
chaired by at least one (1), but no more than three (3) AQMD Board Member,
ensuring that public concerns are conveyed to the Governing Board in an informal
forum.
One Advisory
Group is the Local Government and Small Business Assistance. The
membership of this Advisory Group allows for greater participation from local
government, business interests, as well as concerned citizens and residents
within AQMD jurisdiction. In addition, attention has also been given to
geographic and regional diversity for representation on the Advisory Group.
In 2002, A Blue
Ribbon Panel recommendation was approved by the Board regarding the operation of
the various groups. Later, in 2003, the Board reviewed the Advisory Group
charter and membership of this group.
