3 issues in environment
Air Quality Monitoring Contract Extension
A January 26 reading was ten times the screening threshold — just under the three-consecutive-reading level that would trigger an AQMD investigation. The city is pressing the air district for more aggressive enforcement.
World Energy/AltAir community benefits spending
The council put off approving the Year Four spending plan for the World Energy/AltAir community benefits money so the city and company can negotiate further — a decision expected June 23.
Progress Park Stormwater Capture Project
The city is spending about $1.8 million (mostly state Safe Clean Water money) to design a system that captures stormwater at Progress Park — cleaner water and better use of a resource the region usually just lets wash away.
