A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
GILROY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE "SPARE THE AIR CITY
AND COUNTY" CAMPAIGN
Whereas, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District is conducting its
voluntary Spare the Air program from June to October each year in the nine counties that
comprise the San Francisco Bay Area; and
Whereas, Spare the Air is now in its tenth year and has more that 1,200 public and
private employers who have pledged to participate in the Spare the Air program; and
Whereas, the San Francisco Bay Area has experience dramatic improvements in its
air quality over the last 40 years, but still sees a large number of days during the year when
pollution exceeds state and national health standards; and
Whereas, regional air pollution data for 2000 will be especially critical because it
will be used to determine if the Bay Area meets the national EP A ozone standards, adding
greater urgency to voluntary air pollution reduction efforts; and
Whereas, the Bay Area Clean Air Partnership (BayCAP) is a public-private
partnership that supports voluntary efforts to improve the Bay Area's air, including the
Spare the Air Program; and
Whereas, BayCAP will recognize cities and counties that participate in the "Spare
the Air City and Caunty" Campaign and carry the clean air theme city or countywide; and
Whereas, the City of Gilroy wishes to obtain the designation of "Spare the Air
City".
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Gilroy pledges that the City will do the following:
