Synopsis of History
The Board established several Advisory Groups in 1997 and periodically reviews
the operations of each. The purpose of each advisory group is to allow direct input from
community members into the rulemaking, technology, and policy-making decisions
conducted by the District. Each Advisory Group is chaired by at least one (1),
but no more than three (3) AQMD Board Member, ensuring that public concerns are
conveyed to the Governing Board in an informal forum.
One Advisory
Group is the Local Government and Small Business Assistance. The
membership of this Advisory Group allows for greater participation from local
government, business interests, as well as concerned citizens and residents
within AQMD jurisdiction. In addition, attention has also been given to
geographic and regional diversity for representation on the Advisory Group.
In 2002, A Blue
Ribbon Panel recommendation was approved by the Board regarding the operation of
the various groups. Later, in 2003, the Board reviewed the Advisory Group
charter and membership of this group.
Mission

of the Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP), public outreach, role of local
