Assembly Member Alvarez proposes modifications to the San Diego County Air Pollution Control District's governing board structure through legislation that establishes new procedures for member selection and board operations. The bill creates a population-based weighted voting system to resolve tie votes when city selection committees choose representatives from supervisorial districts, while limiting cities to no more than two appointed members through this process.
The legislation adjusts term lengths for specific board positions, requiring public members and representatives from supervisorial districts 4 and 5 appointed in 2029 to serve two-year terms rather than the standard four years. It also authorizes appointing authorities to designate alternate members who can vote and receive compensation when replacing regular members, provided they meet the same qualifications. The bill maintains existing compensation caps of $200 per day and $2,000 per month for board members, while allowing increases based on the California Consumer Price Index starting in 2025.
The measure revises the military liaison position by removing the requirement that this role be filled by a board of supervisors representative. Instead, the liaison must be appointed after consultation with the United States Armed Forces and report to the board on permitting, rules, regulations, and planning issues affecting military operations. The bill preserves existing requirements for public member qualifications, including positions reserved for a physician or public health professional, an environmental justice representative, and an air pollution technical expert.
