A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF DOWNEY OPPOSING SENATE BILL 33 WHICH IMPLEMENTS
A MANDATORY ANNUAL VEHICLE INSPECTION PROGRAM.
WHEREAS, the City of Downey is concerned about the air
quality in California, particularly in the City of Downey, and
supports vehicle emissions control programs which are effective
and achievable at a reasonable cost; and
WHEREAS, mandatory annual motor vehicle emissions
inspections and maintenance programs remain controversial and
despite decades of study, air quality benefits from such programs
have failed to assure the public that such programs will produce
a detectable reduction in smog; and
WHEREAS, California motorists have demonstrated a
willingness to accept the costs of effective emissions control
policies and programs; and
WHEREAS, the adoption of questionable and costly programs
such as mandatory annual vehicle inspections jeopardizes the public
support necessary for the continuance of any emission control
program, and threatens the confidence in existing and future govern-
ment programs intended to enhance air quality.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY DOES
RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council opposes Senate Bill 33 and
other proposals to authorize any extension of a mandatory annual
inspection program...
SECTION 2. The City Council urges the Senate and Assembly
to Vote "NO" on this proposal.
SECTION 3. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption
of this Resolution.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 26th day of January , 1982.
