TO: Board of Directors, Air Pollution Control District FROM: Larry R. Allen, Air Pollution Control Officer DATE: June 17, 2015 SUBJECT: Adoption of District Budget for Fiscal Year 2015-2016 SUMMARY This is the second of two public hearings required to adopt the District’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2015-2016 Final Budget; the first hearing was held by your Board on May 27, 2015. Changes proposed from the draft budget request presented in May include increases in fund balance carried over from FY 2014-2015, cost reimbursement revenues, use of reserves, services and supplies expense, equipment expense , and contingencies expense. A total budget appropriation of $4,301,520 is requested for FY 2015-2016, a 7% reduction from the current year’s approved budget. RECOMMENDATION That your Board approve the attached resolution adopting the District’s FY 2015-2016 Final Budget of $4,301,520, along with a budget adjustment to authorize $2,000 in interest from APCD Restricted Revenues to be transferred to the District’s operating budget. DISCUSSION The first of two required public hearings on the proposed District Budget for FY 2015-2016 was held by your Board on May 27, 2015. At that hearing, staff provided a detailed overview of the budget proposal. Subsequent to that meeting, no further comments regarding the budget or requests to change have been received from the public or from permitted sources. However, in light of more current budget projections, changes have been made by staff to the original budget request presented at the May 27 hearing, increasing the total requested appropriations previously presented by $76,220:

1. Fund Balance Available carried over from FY 2014-2015 is estimated to increase by $10,293, due to office remodeling work that has been delayed to FY 2015-2016.

3. Maintenance-Structures expense increased $10,000 for office remodeling work that will not

be completed until FY 2015-2016. 4. Professional Services increased $44,000 for a contractor to assist Monitoring staff with

essential tasks and duties. 5. Equipment expense increased $20,000 for an all-terrain vehicle necessary to provide

operation and maintenance support to State Parks’ Osos Flaco air monitoring station. This cost will be reimbursed in (2) above.

6. Contingencies increased $2,220 for the expenditure changes above. 7. Use of reserves to fund appropriations increased $1,927, as a result of the changes above.

Attached for your review is a budget packet that includes the Air Pollution Control Officer's Budget Message, a summary of the budget request, and a detailed line-item budget that includes service program descriptions and other supporting information. A complete list of budget documents is included at the end of the APCO's Budget Message. Special programs, tasks and priorities for FY 2015-2016 are also described in the Budget Message. For FY 2015-2016, a total budget of $4,301,520 is requested, representing a decrease of 7% compared to the amended District budget for the current year. Although minor increases in a few expenditure categories are anticipated for FY 2015-2016, most others will either decrease or remain at the same level while still allowing for maintenance of normal District operations and existing staffing of 23.50 full-time equivalent (FTE) employees. Overall revenue is estimated to decrease in FY 2015-2016 compared to FY 2014-2015. The most significant decrease is the amount of remaining Fund Balance carried forward from FY 2014-2015. There are no proposed changes to the District’s fees, and for the fourth consecutive year, no increase to the District’s hourly billing rate or permit renewal factor. The attached Budget Message and line item budget tables provide specific details on the proposed budget. In compliance with California Health and Safety Code Section 40131, summaries of the Proposed Budget and APCD fee schedules for FY 2015-2016 were made available for public review on April 24, 2015 at six public libraries around the County and at the District’s office. A legal notice was published and letters were sent to all stationary permit holders advising them of the budget adoption schedule, current billing and renewal rates, and the availability of the budget proposal for review. A budget summary was made available by mail to parties requesting copies and is also available on the District’s website (www.slocleanair.org). The California Health and Safety Code requires two separate hearings to adopt the District budget. The first hearing was held on May 27, 2015, at which time the budget proposal was discussed in detail; no public comments on the budget have been received since that date. Today’s hearing is intended for the Board to give final consideration to the budget proposal, accept and consider public comment, and approve the Final Budget. This will complete the budget adoption process. As noted at the May 27 budget hearing, performance indicators for FY 2015-2016 have been added to this Final Budget package as Attachment 1. These performance measures may be modified as a result of any future updates to the District’s Strategic Action Plan, which would be brought to your

Page 3: FROM: SUBJECT: SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION

APCD Board - FY 2015-2016 Final Budget June 17, 2015 Page 3 of 3 Board for consideration. Progress on the performance measures approved for FY 2014-2015 will be reported in a separate item on today’s Board Agenda. OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT No other agencies are directly involved with the District’s budget. However, costs to reimburse several County departments for services they will provide to the District during FY 2015-2016 are incorporated into the budget proposal. We have coordinated with those departments during our budget preparation process to confirm the level of service anticipated to be provided to the District and the estimated charges to be billed. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS If approved as recommended through actions taken by your Board today, the District’s Final Budget for FY 2015-2016 will be $4,301,520. This amount will be funded through District revenues, reserves, and fund balance available at the end of FY 2014-2015. Associated with approval of the District Budget, your Board’s approval is requested for Attachment 2, a budget adjustment request for Cost Center 7220000000 APCD Restricted Revenues. This will authorize the transfer of $2,000 of interest earned from certain grant and mitigation accounts during the year to the District’s operating budget to partially compensate the District for staff and outreach costs involved in administering these programs, consistent with the District’s 5-Year Fiscal Plan adopted by your Board. ALTERNATIVES The Board could decide to not approve the budget proposal and direct staff to return with specific changes at the next Board hearing. If the Board were to do that, a continuing budget resolution would need to be adopted by the Board to allow APCD to continue to operate until the Budget is approved; the next regularly scheduled Board meeting is not until September 23, 2015. Given there were no recommendations for change from either the Board or the public when the budget proposal was presented at the first budget hearing on May 27, 2015, and no substantive changes have been made to the proposal since then, staff does not recommend this option.

Air Pollution Control Officer's Budget Message

TO: Board of Directors, Air Pollution Control District FROM: Larry R. Allen, Air Pollution Control Officer DATE: June 17, 2015 Summary of the FY 2015-2016 APCD Budget Proposal For FY 2015-2016, an operating budget of $4,301,520 is requested, representing a decrease of 7% compared to the final District budget for FY 2014-2015. The requested funding level will provide the resources needed by the District to maintain core and mandated air quality programs, including administration of grant programs and public outreach efforts, and allow continued effort toward implementing key measures and operational strategies identified in the APCD Strategic Action Plan (SAP). Expenditures Projected for FY 2015-2016 Although minor increases in a few expenditure categories are anticipated for FY 2015-2016, allowing for maintenance of normal District operations and existing staffing of 23.5 full-time equivalent (FTE) employees, overall expenditures are proposed to decrease considerably from the prior year. The most significant changes include: • Salary and Benefits costs are expected to increase $31,000 (1%), due to the

implementation of a small increase in salaries and benefits granted in FY 2014-2015, normal promotions and merit increases, and a 0.5% pension rate increase estimated by the County.

• Professional Services expenses are budgeted to decrease $199,000 (39%). This decrease is primarily due to the fact that FY 2014-2015 included an additional $102,000 in encumbrances carried over from FY 2013-2014 for open purchase orders and contracts and FY 2015-2016 eliminates or reduces several contractor line items.

• Countywide overhead charges are budgeted to decrease $25,000 (62%) primarily due to adjustments for overhead expenses charged in past years adjusted to actual costs.

• Equipment purchases are budgeted to increase $35,000 (61%) for an all-terrain vehicle needed to provide operation and maintenance support for State Parks’ Oso Flaco monitoring station, a vehicle to replace the 14 year old Monitoring staff truck, and the replacement of aging equipment in our air monitoring network.

APCD Board - APCO Budget Message June 17, 2015 Page 2 of 5 Revenues Projected for FY 2015-2016 Although a significant overall reduction in revenue is anticipated for FY 2015-2016, the budgeted level should be adequate to support implementation of the APCD Strategic Action Plan (SAP), move toward full cost recovery of the permit program and other services provided, and accomplish the goals and mandates of the District. The most significant changes include: • FY 2015-2016 beginning Fund Balance Available (FBA) is estimated at $519,000, which is

$149,000 (22%) lower than the FY 2014-2015 beginning FBA that was available to fund operations. This FBA will result from salary savings in FY 2014-2015 due to unexpended overtime and temporary help budget and a staff vacancy; unexpended services and supplies budget, unused contingencies, and higher than anticipated State Aid revenues.

• Annual operating permit revenue for existing sources is expected to decrease $20,000 (1%) overall, from $1,720,000 to $1,700,000, and construction and modified permit revenues are estimated to increase $10,000 (7%), from $140,000 to $150,000. There are no proposed fee increases and, for the fourth consecutive year, no proposed increase to the District’s hourly billing rate and permit renewal factor.

• State Aid for Nuclear Planning efforts are budgeted to increase $12,000 (85%) due to an expected increase in coordination activities relating to practice drills, training and FEMA-evaluated exercises.

• Environmental Assessment Fees are budgeted to increase $44,000 (52%), from cost reimbursements for District staff and equipment to operate and maintain State Parks’ Oso Flaco air monitoring station.

APCD Projects, Tasks and Priorities for FY 2015-2016 In addition to implementation of ongoing routine program responsibilities, the proposed FY 2015-2016 budget includes resources to implement several strategies designed to address the critical issues identified in the APCD Strategic Action Plan, as well as new priorities identified by the Board. Some of these strategies include: • Update the APCD 5-Year Fiscal Plan and continue implementation of the Strategic Action Plan. • Work closely with California Department of Parks and Recreation (State Parks) in executing the

joint Consent Decree to implement and ensure compliance with Rule 1001. • Assist State Parks in the operation of air monitoring equipment and data collection from the

control site monitoring station located downwind of the non-riding area south of Oso Flaco Lake. • Finalize staff evaluation of how new State guidelines for Air Toxic Health Risk Assessments will

affect District permitting and other operations and develop options/recommendations for Board consideration on how to implement these changes.

• Identify and evaluate work needed to prepare an attainment plan for potential nonattainment designation for the federal PM10 and PM2.5 air quality standards.

• Continue working closely with CAL FIRE and land managers to facilitate effective implementation of prescribed burns that will not significantly impact air quality and public health.

• Continue working closely with ARB and EPA to track the impacts of pollution transport to SLO

County’s non-attainment region, and track upwind air district rules and attainment strategies to ensure expected emission reductions appropriately benefit our County.

• Perform a comprehensive update of the APCD 5-Year public outreach plan to guide outreach activities, accomplishments and future goals.

• Develop and implement mechanism to improve cost-recovery for the APCD staff work on large projects subject to CEQA review.

• Assist cities in the implementation of locally adopted Climate Action Plans. • Work with CAPCOA on the development and adoption of locally applicable greenhouse gas

emission reduction protocols to create viable GHG credits for use by local projects in CEQA mitigation.

• Continue working with local jurisdictions to expand alternative fuel readiness plans and infrastructure throughout the region, including expanded EV Level 2 and Fast Chargers.

• Expand voluntary APCD source testing services for local businesses seeking such services.

Our anticipated accomplishment and scheduling of these tasks will be based on current staffing and proposed funding levels. Performance Indicators for FYs 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 Progress in meeting the performance measures approved for FY 2014-2015 is presented in a separate item for today’s Board meeting. For FY 2015-2016, as indicated in Attachment 1, District staff strives to present indicators that are easily understood and tracked, provide a good measure of operational efficiencies, and are meaningful to our mission and mandate of protecting public health and achieving State and Federal air quality standards. These measures may be modified as a result of any future updates to the District’s Strategic Action Plan, which would be presented to your Board for approval. Reserves and Designations The current balance in the District’s General Reserve is $871,173. The District also has six other designated reserves: a reserve for capital equipment replacement ($147,568), a reserve for large year-to-year fluctuations in County overhead charges to the District ($79,500), a reserve for District facilities acquisition and improvements ($230,480), a reserve for unanticipated salary and benefits-related costs ($280,312), a reserve for the replacement of District pool vehicles ($242,427) and a reserve for petty cash ($250). For FY 2015-2016, we are proposing to utilize $107,028 from Reserves to replace the loss of operating permit revenue resulting from the closure of the Morro Bay Power Plant in 2014. This is down $111,924 from the level of Reserves used in FY 2014-2015. The remaining total reserves of $1,744,682 will be at 41% of the District’s proposed budget, which will allow the District to fill gaps in future year revenues for four to five years as we continue to implement long-term expenditure reductions and revenue enhancement strategies through our Board-approved 2013-2017 Fiscal Plan.

Page 7: FROM: SUBJECT: SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION

APCD Board - APCO Budget Message June 17, 2015 Page 4 of 5 General Reserves remain fixed during the course of a fiscal year, but may be changed during budget adoption each year. Designated reserves may be appropriated by Board action for expenditures toward their identified purpose during the budget year. Recommended Use of Additional FBA The County Auditor-Controller-Treasurer-Tax Collector will close the books for FY 2014-2015 for San Luis Obispo County and Special Districts on July 31, 2015. If the District’s actual year-end fund balance available (FBA) from FY 2014-2015 is higher than the projections incorporated in the proposed budget, it is recommended that the difference be added back to General Reserves. Salary, Benefit and Position Changes As discussed earlier, Salaries and Benefit costs are expected to increase approximately $31,000 (1%) from $3,210,798 to $3,242,202 in FY 2015-2016. Costs for District staff salaries and benefits represent 75% of the requested total budget, typical for a service organization with low capital expenditures and no long-term debt. The APCD staffing level is proposed to remain unchanged at a total of 23.50 FTEs (full-time equivalents). Incorporated in the budgeted salary and benefit costs are: • Board-approved 2.5% COLA (excludes APCO) and County-estimated 0.5% pension rate increase. • Anticipated promotions and merit increases. • No increase in workers’ compensation insurance rates, due to the District’s favorable experience

history and implemented safety improvements.

District Budget Adoption Process To meet the requirements of Health and Safety Code Section 40131, a summary of the District’s Budget Proposal for FY 2015-2016 has been available for public review at the District office and at public libraries throughout the County since April 24, 2015. The District published legal notices and sent letters to all District stationary permit holders, notifying them and the general public that information about the APCD budget and fees are available for their review and comment. The District's budget development and adoption process is interactive and intended to encourage the Board, regulated industry and the general public to work closely with District staff to ensure appropriate resource dedication and program focus in the coming year. Two public hearings by the APCD Board are required for budget adoption. The first hearing was held on May 27, 2015 in the Board of Supervisors Chambers at the County Government Center, San Luis Obispo, California; today’s hearing will complete the budget adoption process.

San Luis Obispo County Air Pollution Control District Commitment to Excellence

Performance Indicators for 2015-2016 The Air Pollution Control District (APCD or District) promotes and protects public health and welfare in San Luis Obispo County by implementing programs to achieve and maintain State and Federal air quality standards, to reduce exposure to and health risks from toxic air contaminants, and to inform and educate County residents on air quality issues on what they can do to help attain and preserve clean air in our region. The District is the main agency responsible for controlling emissions of air pollutants from fixed industrial and commercial facilities. Because motor vehicles contribute over half of the air pollutants emitted in the county, the APCD is also actively involved in promoting and incentivizing emission reductions from mobile sources of all types. The District’s Strategic Plan identifies several key goals for accomplishing our mission and mandates; performance measures for gauging progress in achieving those goals are listed below. In addition, we have identified a number of operational performance goals to ensure the District continues to provide quality and cost-effective service while meeting the many demands placed on us in implementing State and Federal mandates and Board priorities. Thus, the measures described below are split into “Achieving Our Mission” and “Operational Performance”; the operational measures are further categorized by organizational division or major program area. Each subtitled paragraph describes a key goal, program or important aspect of APCD operations, a means of measuring accomplishment, and a specific commitment to achievement for the coming year. These measures represent only a portion of all District activities and are intended to be used as indicators of District program delivery and staff performance. ACHIEVING OUR MISSION • Attainment of Air Quality Standards

Achieving and maintaining ambient air quality within health-based standards is one of our primary responsibilities mandated by law and a key element of the District mission. The District is currently designated as a partial non-attainment area for the Federal ozone standard and a non-attainment area for the State ozone and PM10 standards. Measurement Method: Hourly, annual and long-term air quality and emissions trends. Performance Measure: Countywide ozone precursor and particulate matter emissions show annual reductions. Ambient ozone concentrations trend downward over a running 10-year period for all monitoring stations; and ambient PM10 and PM2.5 levels trend downward over a running 10 year period in all areas. The annual air quality report describing ozone and PM levels for calendar year 2014 will be prepared and presented at the regularly scheduled September 2015 Board meeting.

• Managing Toxic Air Contaminants to Meet Risk Thresholds A key focus of the District is to manage toxic air contaminants to protect public health and ensure established risk thresholds are met. The District implements and enforces Federal and State toxic air contaminant standards, evaluates all permit applications from new and modified sources for the need to conduct a risk assessment, and prepares an annual report identifying the sources of air toxic emissions and their associated risk. Along with other air

districts across California, the APCD is working with local jurisdictions to ensure toxic impacts are fully addressed and minimized before proposed projects are acted on by lead agencies. Both the CAPCOA Health Risk Assessment Land Use document and the APCD’s CEQA Air Quality Handbook provide guidance to lead agencies, developers, consultants and the public on how to assess and minimize toxic exposure in land use development. Risk screening tools are available to assist lead agencies and project proponents assess their proposal prior to submittal. The APCD will continue to work with other air districts to improve the tools used to evaluate health risk and streamline the evaluation process. Measurement Method: Number of applications reviewed for the need to conduct a risk assessment; number of CEQA projects that assess the potential health risk of proposed development and take action to minimize exposure. Commitment to Performance: Perform and/or evaluate risk assessments for all new and modified sources and development projects exceeding District risk screening thresholds. Participate in the review process for all Airborne Toxic Control Measures developed by the State and begin implementation within mandated timeframes. Provide guidance and screening assessment tools to lead agencies and project proponents on projects with potential to increase exposure to toxic emissions. Work with lead agencies to define long-range options for land use areas in close proximity to toxic sources. Evaluate the impacts of recent revisions to State guidelines for Health Risk Assessments on District permits & CEQA projects and develop implementation options for Board consideration.

• Addressing Air Quality and Public Health Impacts from Development New industrial, commercial and residential development projects are reviewed for their potential impacts on local air quality. The evaluation includes assessment of ozone precursors, particulate matter, exposure to air toxics and greenhouse gas emissions, with mitigation measures recommended if significant impacts are predicted; project applicants are responsible for implementing these measures. The 2012 CEQA Air Quality Handbook provides information for all stakeholders on the evaluation, quantification and mitigation of air quality impacts associated with the construction and operational impacts of development. Measurement Method: Review air quality impacts of new development projects that exceed CEQA review thresholds and work with the County and cities to verify mitigation implementation and tracking of new residential developments that occur inside urban (URL) and village (VRL) reserve lines versus remote rural areas; number of completed outreach activities on the long-term air quality benefits of implementing strategies to reduce dependence on the automobile. Commitment to Performance: District staff will review and comment on air quality impacts from all development projects exceeding CEQA significance thresholds, and will annually evaluate implementation status of required air quality mitigations on at least 10% of approved development projects with such requirements. Staff will work with regional agencies to evaluate the development trends and compare the number of residential units and commercial units approved outside city limits, URLs or VRLs vs. those approved inside such boundaries countywide and calculate new vehicle trips generated in each area. Staff will work with city and County Planning, SLOCOG and Caltrans through long-range planning discussions and the SB 375 Sustainable Community Strategies development on the inter-relations between land use and circulation strategies, reliance on automobile travel and impacts to air quality and greenhouse gas emissions.

APCD Board - FY 2015-2016 Performance Indicators June 17, 2015 Page 3 of 11 • Ensuring Local and Regional Greenhouse Gas Emissions Meet State and Federal Requirements

State statutes require a 25% reduction in greenhouse gases (GHGs) statewide by 2020, including direct emission reductions from major sources and emission inventories tracking those reductions; the adoption of Sustainable Communities Strategies by Metropolitan Planning Agencies; GHG reduction goals for local jurisdictions; and GHG mitigation requirements for new development approved through the CEQA review process. All cities and the County have completed their GHG emissions inventories. In November 2011, the San Luis Obispo County adopted the EnergyWise Plan and began implementing key measures. The City of San Luis Obispo adopted their Climate Action Plan (CAP) in July 2012, and Arroyo Grande, Paso Robles, Atascadero, Morro Bay and Pismo Beach adopted their CAPs in FY 2013-2014. Measurement Method: Secure funding and resources to support the implementation and updates of GHG Climate Action Plans for all cities; increased awareness of APCD programs that identify personal actions to reduce GHG emissions (i.e., Food Miles, SLO Car Free and Central Coast Clean Cities Coalition); expansion of the Clean Air Ambassador science-based education program to schools throughout SLO County; facilitation of the City/County GHG stakeholder forums with local jurisdictions to implement action plans; continuation of the partnership with Cal Poly. Commitment to Performance: Secure and utilize grant funding to assist cities in implementation and tracking of Climate Action Plan measures to facilitate CEQA streamlining; work with student interns from Cal Poly and Cuesta College to reach out to schools with the Clean Air Ambassador program to expand science based curriculum; conduct regular meetings with the City/County GHG stakeholder group to share information and resources; implementation of the APCD’s Public Outreach Plan.

• Building an Informed and Engaged Public Enhancing public awareness of local air quality and engaging the community in working to promote clean air is a key goal in the Strategic Action Plan. The cumulative everyday actions of private citizens can positively or negatively affect air quality, particularly through motor vehicle use, residential and backyard burning, consumer choices and energy consumption. The APCD implements a variety of public awareness and education programs including: air quality index (AQI) forecasting, media outreach, development and distribution of various publications (i.e., brochures, press releases and flyers), website updates, presentations to classes and groups, and participation in community events. Public education and outreach is also critical to the successful implementation of District rules and programs. Measurement Method: Implementation of a comprehensive 5-year public outreach plan designed to increase public awareness on how to minimize our individual impacts on air quality and climate change. Local air quality issues are adequately covered by local media; increased number of individuals who rely on the APCD website to retrieve air quality information, and use of Google Analytics to track trends, customer overviews and traffic; development and utilization of public surveys to gauge public knowledge and needs of local community; increase in number of residents subscribing to local AQI forecast. Commitment to Performance: Staff will continue implementation of the 2011 – 2016 Public Outreach Plan that outlines strategies and allocation of resources for the upcoming fiscal year. The APCD will support and participate in appropriate public events around the County. Outreach to schools and service groups will be performed and informational outreach materials will be prepared as needed. Media placement (e.g. press releases, articles and

interviews on local air quality) will be secured on a quarterly basis. The APCD website will be updated regularly and utilized as a primary means to disseminate information on air quality. APCD Twitter feed (@SLOCleanAir) will continue to be used as a way to quickly disseminate information on air quality forecasts, air quality alerts, events and other information; the Twitter feed is streamed to the APCD website to ensure members of the public without Twitter accounts can still access the information. Staff will work with local school officials to increase participation in the AQI flag program and Clean Air Ambassadors Program.

• Ensure Quality and Cost Effective Service is Provided in All Program Areas The District works with a variety of government agencies, industry, businesses and the public to preserve and enhance local air quality. A key element of the District’s mission is to “provide quality and cost-effective service” to all sectors with which we interact. Ensuring staff are informed and knowledgeable is essential to meeting that goal. Measurement Method: Periodic stakeholder surveys to evaluate customer perception of the APCD operations and identify program areas that may need improvement. Tracking visits and comments on the APCD website. Amount of appropriate training and literature review accomplished by staff each year. Commitment to Performance: Customer satisfaction surveys will be conducted in 2015 by the Compliance and Engineering Division for representative samples of permit holders and other regulated entities; this survey is also available on our website for stakeholder convenience and use at any time. Appropriate action will be taken on any negative comments or areas of suggested improvement received through the surveys, with a goal to achieve an 85% or greater positive response rate. Website use and comments or inquiries to the District posted from the website will be tracked and evaluated annually. By December 2015, each division will be surveyed for specific training needs and a training implementation schedule will be developed; each staff member will complete at least one training event (workshop, seminar, conference) in FY 2015-2016, utilizing local resources such as the County Employee University whenever possible. All staff will be encouraged to perform at least one hour per week of literature review during the year to stay current on emerging issues. In addition, areas where additional program streamlining can be achieved will be examined and implemented through our Strategic Action Plan.

OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE ENGINEERING AND COMPLIANCE • Rules and Regulations

The APCD rules are evaluated for appropriateness and effectiveness to control emissions that cause air quality problems. When changes are needed, workshops are held with affected parties, and new or changed rules are brought to the APCD Board for adoption at public hearings. APCD rules are similar to those in effect elsewhere around the State and Nation. Measurement Method: Rate and timing of rule adoption actions, and consistency of District rules with State and Federal requirements and similar rules in place at other air districts. Commitment to Performance: Staff will continue working closely with State Parks to implement Rule 1001. A few minor administrative rules for our eastern County Federal ozone non-attainment area may be brought to the Board for adoption to comply with

C-1-12APCD 6/17/15

Page 13: FROM: SUBJECT: SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION

APCD Board - FY 2015-2016 Performance Indicators June 17, 2015 Page 5 of 11

Federal law. Minor revisions to several existing rules for clarity and to provide more alternatives for sources subject to rules will be brought to the Board for consideration, and other rules will be reviewed and revised as necessary to keep them current with State and Federal law.

• Issuance of Permits and Authorities to Construct

Operating permits are issued to most stationary sources affected by APCD rules, both to assure continuing compliance and to provide businesses with confirmation that they have met all APCD requirements. An Authority to Construct allows a facility or device to be installed before its emissions can be tested in actual operation. Measurement Method: Time required to complete an Authority to Construct. Commitment to Performance: Following receipt of a complete application, an Authority to Construct will be issued in 30 days for minor, 60 days for medium and 120 days for major sources.

• Emissions Inventory

Tracking emissions from sources in San Luis Obispo County is used to develop attainment plans and show progress toward meeting air quality goals. The APCD staff annually updates the emissions inventory. Approximately every three years, the District conducts a more detailed inventory analysis to be used in plan updates and/or formation of new state Air Quality Plans. Measurement Method: Completion of annual emissions inventory and submittal to the Air Resources Board through their electronic submittal system. Commitment to Performance: Past year inventories will be completed prior to December 31 annually.

• Permit Renewal and Compliance Inspections

Permits to Operate are renewed on an annual, biennial or triennial basis, depending on the type and size of the source. The permit renewal process assures sources continue to comply with regulatory requirements after approval of an operating permit. APCD staff regularly inspects emission sources under permit, and other sources not under permit that are subject to APCD rules. Inspections allow compliance with APCD rules to be verified and provide opportunity for staff to inform facility personnel of any upcoming regulatory changes or new technologies that could affect future operations; they are also performed when Permits to Operate are periodically renewed. Measurement Method: Turn-around time on permit renewal actions and total number of compliance inspections completed. Commitment to Performance: Permits will be renewed within an average of 45 days from the end of the renewal month, with none exceeding 90 days. All facility and compliance inspections scheduled for FY 2015-2016 will be completed in that fiscal year, including complaints and asbestos investigations. We expect District staff will inspect and investigate over 2,500 sources of air pollution this year.

• Enforcement and Legal Actions Violations of the APCD regulations are addressed through legal action as needed, including recovery of any costs of enforcement resulting from investigations and subsequent mutual settlement, Hearing Board or civil court actions. Measurement Method: Turn-around time to resolve Notices of Violation. Commitment to Performance: Mutual settlement of minor

C-1-13APCD 6/17/15

APCD Board - FY 2015-2016 Performance Indicators June 17, 2015 Page 6 of 11

violations will average 90 days or less. Settlement times for major violations will average six months or less.

• Complaint Response

Public complaints about any air quality problems are investigated and documented. In the course of investigation, many problems warranting complaints are resolved; the goal is to ensure responsiveness to and resolution of air quality complaints. Development and implementation of streamlining measures has resulted in more timely and efficient responses to private nuisances and dust complaints, updated computer tracking procedures, and updated assignment procedures. Measurement Method: Average time to investigate, resolve and document all complaints received. Commitment to Performance: Turn-around will be minimized, with no more than one day for each complaint response and 10 days to complete related investigations, final actions and reports.

• Asbestos Program

Federal laws regarding the assessment, removal and disposal of materials containing asbestos are enforced by the APCD staff. Measurement Method: Timely completion and reporting of asbestos actions which arise in FY 2015-2016. Commitment to Performance: Federal law sets the legally allowed task completion deadlines for asbestos actions. All District tasks will be completed expeditiously and in compliance with Federal deadlines; reports will be made to EPA quarterly, as required.

PLANNING AND MONITIORING • Planning and Control Strategy Development

Monitoring data is evaluated to identify where and for what pollutants air quality improvement is needed to protect public health and welfare. Control strategies are developed to promote changes in emission levels. These strategies may result in revisions to the APCD rules and regulations, changes in mitigation required of CEQA projects or changes in permitting or compliance policies. Staff will also identify and undertake local actions needed to address SLO County’s non-attainment designation for both the State and Federal 8-hour ozone and State 24-hour PM10 standards. Staff will continue tracking air quality trend data to determine if eastern SLO County meets the Federal 8-hour ozone standard within the allocated timeframe. Staff will continue working with SLOCOG, CalTrans, the Federal Highway Administration, the Federal Transit Administration and EPA to prepare conformity documentation required to address the “marginal” non-attainment designation for ozone. Transportation conformity is a Clean Air Act requirement that calls for the EPA, and various regional, State and local government agencies to integrate the air quality and transportation planning development process. Measurement Method: Timely analysis and development of control strategies mandated by State and/or Federal law or directed by the APCD Board. Commitment to Performance: Staff will continue to work with ARB and EPA on the requirements associated with SLO County’s non-attainment for the State 8-hour ozone standard and the eastern County’s “marginal” non-attainment for the Federal 8-hour ozone standard. For the Federal ozone requirements, efforts will include submittal of an emissions inventory and the adopted Emissions Statement Rule for eastern SLO County.

Page 15: FROM: SUBJECT: SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION

APCD Board - FY 2015-2016 Performance Indicators June 17, 2015 Page 7 of 11

Staff will also track and address transport of pollution into SLO County from areas outside the County, including ozone control measure implementation progress for upwind areas.

• Project Review and Land Use Planning

District staff reviews 50-100 new industrial, commercial and residential development projects each year for potential impacts on local air quality, and recommends appropriate mitigation measures to reduce potentially significant impacts. Coordination with lead agencies is essential to streamline our review and comments on projects. Increased awareness among decision makers, lead agency staff, developers and residents is critical to ensure successful implementation of low impact projects. Measurement Method: The average time required to review and respond to projects referred to the District. Development of streamlining tools to maximize APCD resources while assuring air quality mitigation is adequately addressed in projects countywide. Implementing a cost-recovery mechanism for staff time required to review and comment on these projects. Commitment to Performance: Review and response for smaller, more routine projects will be completed within seven days of receiving the referral, moderate size projects within 21 days of receipt, and large projects/EIRs within 30 days of receipt. Approximately 100 projects are expected to be received and reviewed in FY 2015-2016. Staff will continue to develop streamlining tools to better utilize APCD resources while increasing coordination with lead agencies. A mechanism for achieving cost recovery for project review will be brought to the Board for consideration and approval in FY 2015-2016.

• Transportation and Mobile Sources

Staff works with local agencies (e.g., Rideshare, Bike Coalition), schools and businesses on methods to reduce employee and student commute trips; enhance public transit, bicycle and pedestrian facilities; and promote teleworking. Staff works with the Central Coast Clean Cities Coalition (C5) to promote the use of clean burning alternative fuel vehicles and infrastructure and secure State and Federal funds to support these projects throughout the Central Coast. Through the expansion of the SLO Car Free program, the District partners with local businesses and organizations to promote car free tourism to our region. In addition, staff works with local jurisdictions to promote land use and circulation policies that reduce reliance on automobile travel. Measurement Method: Reduction of vehicle miles travelled (VMT); increase in average vehicle ridership (AVR) and transit users; increase in the number of low emission vehicle technologies used countywide; an increase in the number of alternative fueled vehicles and necessary infrastructure; availability of grant funds to expand alternative fuel projects; baseline number of visitors and participating businesses in the SLO Car Free Program. Commitment to Performance: Staff will work with transportation alternative partners (e.g., C5, Rideshare, Ride On, SLO Bicycle Coalition, and transit providers) to conduct public education to increase awareness of commute options. Staff will work with C5 to implement elements of its Program Plan and compile surveys to determine the amount of alternative fuel vehicles operating in SLO County; staff will also work to secure funding from the U.S. Department of Energy and California Air Resources Board to support the coalition’s mission. Staff will work with SLO Car Free coalition partners to secure program funding to expand awareness to area visitors.

APCD Board - FY 2015-2016 Performance Indicators June 17, 2015 Page 8 of 11 • Grants and Incentive Programs

The Carl Moyer Grant Program, AB 923 (DMV funds) Grant Program, Low Emission School Bus (LESB) Program and various mitigation fee sponsored grants are administered by the APCD. These include APCD Board-approved project funding and first-come, first-serve grant programs that solicit and fund community-based projects designed to reduce emissions from a variety of sources. APCD administration of grant funds includes development of grant programs; securing Board approval for grant fund allocations; development and distribution of Requests for Proposals (RFPs); review of project proposals; development and implementation of contracts with grantees; tracking fund disbursement and use; audits of grant projects; and overall program management. Measurement Method: Application for and management of State grant funds and subsequent reporting as required by Carl Moyer, AB 923 and LESB grant program requirements. Manage mitigation funds to ensure emission reductions occur concurrently or as close as possible to project emissions. Effectively utilize program administration funds to implement emission reduction programs. Commitment to Performance: Grant programs and recommended funding allocations will be presented to the Board when funds become available. For grant programs using an RFP process, staff will prepare the RFP for Board review and approval, distribute the RFP and begin accepting applications within three months of Board approval. Project screening, evaluation, funding allocation, ranking, and project contracting shall be completed within applicable timeframes (e.g., State requirements), with extensions allowed on a case by case basis by the State. Each year, staff will prepare and submit State mandated grant progress reports (Moyer, AB 923). On an ongoing basis, all grant contracts will be maintained, projects monitored, usage reports reviewed and periodic audits conducted; and invoices will be paid within 30 days of submittal. At the end of every fiscal year all remaining Board authorized grant funding will be restored for use during the next fiscal year. A summary of total grant funds awarded and projects funded during the prior fiscal year will be presented to the Board at their September meeting.

• Ambient Air Monitoring

Fixed air monitoring stations, each containing analyzers and support equipment, are operated by the APCD in key locations around the County. The APCD coordinates with the Air Resources Board (ARB) and private companies that also perform air monitoring to ensure the best overall assessment of local air quality. Thorough quality assurance practices are implemented to ensure valid air monitoring results. Special monitoring studies are performed as needed and as resources permit. Measurement Method: The total number of monitoring stations that are operated in the County and successful passing of annual audits performed by ARB. Commitment to Performance: For FY 2015-2016, the APCD will operate at least eight District monitoring stations for a full 12-month year. The APCD will continue to operate the Mesa 2 station for Phillips 66 and the Oso control site monitoring station for State Parks, and will support and coordinate the operation of at least two more stations by the Air Resources Board. All stations operated by APCD will successfully pass the annual audits performed by ARB.

• Air Quality Data Control, Data Review and Reporting

Air quality data from APCD stations is sent to State and Federal databases. Data from all monitoring in the County is compiled and evaluated by staff and kept on file for future public

C-1-16APCD 6/17/15

Page 17: FROM: SUBJECT: SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION

APCD Board - FY 2015-2016 Performance Indicators June 17, 2015 Page 9 of 11

and private use. All violations of State and Federal standards are counted, and trends are evaluated. Reports describing trends and air quality status are prepared for public distribution. Enhanced recordkeeping and reporting is required by EPA under the current Compliance Monitoring Strategy. Measurement Method: Total number of data channels reporting data, quality control reviewing and posting all data from the air monitoring network on a monthly basis. Due dates met for submission of data to other agencies. Commitment to Performance: For FY 2015-2016, all pollutant and meteorology data channels measured in the County at APCD and other monitoring stations will be acquired, evaluated, and archived. Pollutant data channels will be reported in regular annual and special District reports to the media and public. District monitoring stations will, at a minimum, achieve EPA quarterly requirements. Data will be reported on time through monthly and annual submittals as required by ARB and EPA.

ADMINISTRATION AND OPERATIONS • APCD Financial Management

Revenues received and expenditures incurred are reviewed and tracked on an ongoing basis throughout the fiscal year to ensure consistency with the approved budget and compliance with governmental accounting standards. Invoices are prepared and revenues are tracked for permits issued, civil penalties assessed, and other fees for District-provided services. Grant funding, distribution and reporting is coordinated with State and Federal agencies. Applicable contracts and purchase orders for supplies, professional services, and fixed asset acquisitions are engaged as necessary throughout the year. Revenues are deposited daily and payments for goods and services are generally processed within one week of invoice receipt. Annual financial reports are prepared and submitted to State and local agencies to comply with funding and other legal reporting requirements. An annual financial statement and internal controls audit of the District is conducted each year by an independent accounting firm. Measurement Method: Financial monitoring, reporting and compliance with all applicable governmental regulations and requirements. Commitment to Performance: District revenues and expenses will be closely monitored during the fiscal year to ensure consistency with the Board-approved budget as well as governmental accounting standards. Financial status reports will be submitted to the Board at each regularly scheduled meeting. Annual financial reports will be prepared and submitted to State and local agencies by required due dates to comply with funding and other legal reporting requirements. An audit of the District’s FY 2014-2015 financial statements and internal controls will be completed by an independent accounting firm and presented to the Board no later than spring 2016.

• Improve Cost Recovery for Services As described in the Board-adopted Fiscal Plan, District staff should routinely review levels of service provided to permit holders and other stakeholders, and assure that cost recovery properly compensates for the cost of those services, without unfairly burdening other fee payers. Specific cost recovery goals are detailed in the Fiscal Plan. Measurement Method: Biennial or triennial evaluation of cost recovery effectiveness in all program areas through updates to the Fiscal Plan. Commitment to Performance: Cost recovery improvements and potential new revenue strategies were adopted through the updated APCD 2013-2017

C-1-17APCD 6/17/15

Page 18: FROM: SUBJECT: SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION

APCD Board - FY 2015-2016 Performance Indicators June 17, 2015 Page 10 of 11

Fiscal Plan approved by the Board in November 2012. Implementation of some strategies has been temporarily delayed, as the District’s reserves are adequate to temporarily supplant the loss of permit revenue from closure of the Morro Bay Power Plant. An update to the Fiscal Plan is currently planned for late 2015, wherein cost recovery strategies will be reviewed and revised as necessary.

• Improve Response to Emerging Issues New air quality issues emerge steadily as knowledge about different air pollutants and their public health impact grows. This new information leads to improvements in air management strategies, such as more protective air quality standards, better monitoring methods, and new ways to educate the public about air pollution. To best protect public health in this county, the APCD must remain responsive to new information and developing issues, while still maintaining a strong focus on core responsibilities and objectives. Measurement Method: Level of participation in State, regional and local issue-based committees, and level of review performed on proposed and newly enacted air quality legislation. Commitment to Performance: Staff will coordinate closely with EPA and ARB to identify and track regulatory requirements we must comply with as a newly designated non-attainment area for the Federal ozone standard. Staff will track emerging statewide issues through the CAPCOA Board and committees and through the South Central Coast Basinwide Air Pollution Control Council (SCC/BCC) quarterly meetings, and will track local issues through participation in local committees, forums and other activities. Emerging issues will be agendized and discussed at least monthly in management and division staff meetings and will be summarized by the APCO at Board meetings, as appropriate.

• Computer Operations and Data Processing The most cost-effective and successful utilization of computer and office automation resources by all APCD staff is supported and implemented. This includes acquiring, configuring and operating computer equipment and software systems. It also includes training all staff to facilitate full and efficient use of those resources. Measurement Method: Availability for use and functionality of workstations and software applications routinely used for APCD business and office automation tasks. Commitment to Performance: In FY 2015-2016, except for possible brief interruptions from minor equipment malfunctions, each APCD staff member will have a fully functional and current workstation, with needed software applications, available during work. Installation and configuration of an upgraded monitoring station wide-area network (WAN) should be completed by early FY 2015-2016, and will allow staff improved remote control over monitoring station equipment at an equal or lower cost. Work on the District’s Office Information Software (OIS) will continue to incorporate new features and enhancements as needs arise.

STAKEHOLDER RELATIONS • Business and Compliance Assistance

APCD Board - FY 2015-2016 Performance Indicators June 17, 2015 Page 11 of 11

made available to businesses by APCD staff. Measurement Method: Program activities and staff efforts dedicated to business and compliance assistance during the year. Commitment to Performance: APCD inspection staff will coordinate with local businesses on training opportunities and distribution of compliance assistance information. The APCD staff will coordinate permitting and pre-construction activities with other government agencies to streamline these processes whenever possible. In addition, each permit action will be screened for applicability of a small business fee waiver. The APCD staff will also inform all applicable businesses of any grant funding opportunities available and will provide thorough guidance and assistance to all grant applicants.

• Pollution Prevention Program

Businesses, agencies and the public are advised about ways to minimize pollution which would otherwise need to be controlled, including reducing nonessential use of materials and energy. Creative use of pollution prevention (P2) practices is encouraged. P2 is fully incorporated into the Compliance, Engineering and Planning and Outreach Division programs and emission reduction opportunities are explored on an on-going basis. Measurement Method: Annual goals established by staff and approved by the Board; expansion of a countywide P2 program for APCD permitted sources to award those going above and beyond local, State and federal laws for reducing air pollution. Commitment to Performance: District inspection staff will distribute appropriate P2 information to businesses during renewal inspections. The number of P2 Program contacts will be tracked for reporting during FY 2015-2016.

• Coordination with Other Agencies

The District interacts with many local, regional, State and Federal agencies in implementing its various programs and through participation on related committees and work groups. Local issues and special needs of County citizens are communicated to State and Federal air quality agencies. Regulations or actions by those agencies are explained to the public by staff. The most practical implementation of State and Federal regulations, considering local needs, is arranged. Efficient and effective service is provided with a minimum of overlap and duplication through coordination with local and regional agencies. Measurement Method: Continued coordination with other agencies and organizations on District programs and continued participation on local, regional and State committees. Commitment to Performance: The APCD will coordinate program responsibilities with other agencies having similar or related responsibilities, and will seek out opportunities to streamline related operations between agencies. During FY 2015-2016, District staff will coordinate with local planning and transportation agencies on projects that affect air quality; coordinate with fire and waste management agencies and the Agricultural Commissioner in implementing burning regulations; coordinate with RWQCB, Environmental Health and affected jurisdictions in oversight of soil remediation projects; coordinate with ARB, EPA and other APCDs in implementing new State and Federal mandates; coordinate with Public Health on notifying the public and schools on high pollution events throughout the County; participate on local, regional and statewide committees on issues affecting or related to air quality in SLO County; participate in quarterly SCC/BCC meetings with the Santa Barbara and Ventura air districts; and other coordination opportunities as they arise.
