• FY 2001-2002 1 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> DRAFT GOAL <br /> Draft 1/29/01 <br /> AIR QUALITY V <br /> GOAL STATEMENT: To take proactive steps to improve and/or protect air quality within the County <br /> Goal Initiated/Proposed By:Board of County Commissioners <br /> Most Recent Version Adopted by BOCC: NEW <br /> STATUS REPORT <br /> This initiative represents a new goal to use a variety of techniques to proactively address air quality in the County. With the County(and the <br /> Triangle region)on the verge of being declared out of compliance by the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency,the Board in 1999 adopted <br /> three resolutions to begin to address air quality issues. These resolutions have already resulted in the County's membership in the N.C. Air <br /> Awareness Coalition,designed to encourage air quality protection among County employees on high ozone days, and the report of the <br /> Alternative Fuel and Low Emission vehicle(AFLEV)Work Group in October 2000, which resulted in a grant.submittal to begin introducing <br /> alternative fuel vehicles into the County vehicle fleet.The goal uses these resolutions and the recommendations of the AFLEV Work Group to <br /> propose additional strategies that may be pursued to protect air quality,including collaboration with state and other local governments on <br /> emissions reduction. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT/RESOURCE REQUIREMENTS <br /> Completion of this goal will involve the following commitment of existing staff resources: ERC Director, County Engineer,Purchasing <br /> Director,Public Works Director and Transportation Planner.The goal will also require the expertise of the Commission for the Environment's <br /> Air Quality Committee.Financial impacts of pursuit of the goal include the cost differential for the purchase of alternative fuel vehicles and the <br /> development of an emissions reduction plan, and would be offset by grants and inter-local coordination and financial contributions. <br /> • <br />
