California Health & Safety Code Sections 40130 and 40131 require that the District: (1) Hold a public hearing to review and provide the public an opportunity to comment on the budget proposed in the next fiscal year; (2) hold this hearing separately from the final budget adoption; and (3) provide the public with a summary of the budget with all supporting documents, and a schedule of fees to be imposed by the District to fund its program.  The budget will be considered for adoption during the Air Pollution Control Board special meeting to be scheduled on June 27, 2017.

The District has made all required information (found in Attachment 1) available to the public at least 30 days prior to the hearing (beginning May 2, 2017) and has notified all permittees subject to fees imposed by the District in the preceding year of the availability of the above-referenced information in accordance with California Health & Safety Code.

The District budget proposed for FY 2017-18 reflects no General Fund support from Shasta County or the Cities.  It is important to note that approximately 95 percent of AB 2766 monies (DMV fees) are being used to insure compliance with the California Clean Air Act.  While the amount of DMV fees utilized by various Air Districts to insure compliance with the California Clean Air Act varies, this Air District relies heavily on this funding source for basic operations.
