The Executive Office has overall responsibility
for policy development, administration, enforcement, permit, technical,
planning and public information functions and activities of the District.
The Executive Office's overall mission is to support the goals of the
Air District.
The Air District uses a progressive
approach to regulating air pollution. By adopting reasonable air quality
plans and then following through with sensible regulations (sensitive
to socioeconomic impacts), flexible permitting, helpful compliance assistance,
and proactive enforcement, the District has one of the most responsive
air programs in the nation.
The Air District is governed
by a 22-member Board of Directors. State law provides that the number
of representatives from each county will be determined by that county's
population. Under this plan, the counties of Marin, Napa, and Solano have
one representative; Sonoma, and San Mateo have two representatives; San
Francisco has three representatives; and Alameda, Contra Costa, and Santa
Clara each have four representatives. The Boardof Directors has the authority
to develop and enforce regulations for the control of air pollution within
the Air District. All rules and regulations must be passed by a majority
of the Directors. Public hearings are required prior to any action adopting
or amending rules and regulations.
The Board of Directors has 8 standing
committees that assist the Air District in its mission to improve air
quality.
