Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a)
					 "Coordinated subvention" means a subvention authorized by Section
					 39802
					 of the Health and Safety Code. Such a subvention may be granted to a district
					 participating in a coordinated basinwide program. A district satisfying either
					 of the following conditions will be considered to be participating in a
					 coordinated basinwide program, provided that when a district lies in more than
					 one air basin, only the portion(s) of the district which satisfies either of
					 these conditions shall be considered to be participating in such a program.
(1) A district which includes an entire air
					 basin.
(2) Two or more districts
					 which together include an entire air basin, and which meet the following
					 requirements:
(A) The rules and regulations
					 except for administrative procedures are uniform among all districts and are
					 consistent with the approved nonattainment plan for each district's area. For
					 any air basin where the control council has determined that identical rules and
					 regulations throughout the entire air basin are not necessary for uniformity,
					 the control council may divide the air basin into zones within which equivalent
					 rules and regulations will be required. For the purposes of this subsection,
					 equivalent rules and regulations means rules and regulations which effect the
					 same degree of control. In establishing such zones, the control council shall
					 consider topography, meteorology, population distribution, and air
					 quality;
(B) The control council
					 shall meet as often as necessary for the transaction of business, but not less
					 than once per quarter except as provided for below. The control council of any
					 air basin consisting solely of districts in the rural category may establish an
					 equivalent procedure for basinwide consideration of policy matters and shall
					 meet within 30 days after it has been requested to meet by the executive
					 officer or by a member of the council. For the purposes of this Subdivision a
					 quorum must be present in order to constitute a meeting. Copies of the minutes
					 of each meeting shall be submitted to the executive officer within 30 days
					 after the date of the meeting; and
(C) The districts shall be parties to one
					 joint powers agreement or other enforceable agreement acceptable to the
					 executive officer. The agreement shall specifically provide for the following:
1. The sharing of qualified air pollution
					 personnel and equipment in a manner which results in the effective use of the
					 basin wide resources and ensures that all districts in the air basin will
					 maintain a program satisfying the applicable evaluation criteria. Such sharing
					 shall be subject to a method for compensation for the cost of shared personnel
					 and equipment mutually agreed on by the districts. Nothing in this subchapter
					 shall preclude the payment by a district of subvention funds as compensation to
					 other districts to cover costs of shared personnel or equipment use. Subvention
					 funds received by a district under such agreements or contracts, however, may
					 not be counted as matching funds in computing the district's
					 subvention;
2. Interdistrict
					 coordination of activities including enforcement; air monitoring; engineering;
					 and, if required by the State Implementation Plan, traffic and land use
					 planning; and
3. Implementation of
					 the State Air Pollution Emergency plan, where
					 applicable.
