SUMMARY

N/A

DISCUSSION

The Air Quality Management District currently operates a MetOne BAM 1020 PM 2.5 monitor that is over 10 years old.  According to MetOne the Unit and its hardware are no longer supported, and repairs to this unit may not be possible.  CAPCOA has offered the Shasta County Air Quality Management District (District) EPA PM2.5 Grant funds for the purchase of a new MetOne BAM 1022 PM 2.5 Monitor at $14,526 as quoted by MetOne.


ALTERNATIVES

The Board may choose not to approve this budget amendment, but that is not recommended because the District’s monitoring equipment is in need of replacement.


OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT

This recommendation has been reviewed by the County Counsels’ Office, County Auditors’ Office and the County Administrative Office.  Risk Management approves the grant agreement as written.


FINANCING

This budget amendment will have a zero net effect on the FY 2018/19 budget.
