RE: SEMCOG--EMISSION REDUCTION FOR AIR QUALITY
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
CHAIRMAN, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:
WHEREAS, SEMCOG is organizing a business/government coalition,
the Clean Air Coalition of Southeast Michigan, to assure that the
7-county SEMCOG region stays in compliance with federally mandated
air quality standards, and
WHEREAS, SEMCOG has petitioned the United States Environmental
Protection Agency to redesignate our seven-county area as a "Clean
Air Area", which would allow the citizens of our county to be out
from under additional mandatory control measures for auto
emissions, and
WHEREAS, the Coalition is asking that business and the public
take voluntary low-cost and no-cost action to assure that ozone
levels stay within acceptable limits.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County board of
Commissioners does hereby support the efforts of SEMCOG and the
Clean Air Coalition of Southeastern Michigan by requesting that all
Oakland County citizens voluntarily defer certain activities, such
as using gasoline-powered equipment, fueling cars and trucks in
daytime hours, and by using lower vapor pressure gasoline, and by
carpooling and eliminating non-essential driving on Ozone Action
Days.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be
forwarded to SEMCOG, and to all major newspapers serving Oakland
County.
Chairman, on behalf of the General Government Committee, I
move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
