APCD board reappoints advisory committee member, receives subvention application and cancels Nov. 11 meeting
Summary
The board reappointed Paul Meehan to the APCD Rule Advisory Committee, received a report on a state subvention grant application, and approved cancellation of the Nov. 11 meeting; the reappointment and meeting cancellation passed unanimously.
The Ventura County Air Pollution Control District board unanimously approved several routine items including the reappointment of Paul Meehan to the APCD Rule Advisory Committee, received a status report on the district’s state subvention grant application, and approved cancelling the Nov. 11 regular meeting.
Reappointment: Staff presented the nomination of Paul Meehan to represent the City of Ventura on the APCD Rule Advisory Committee. Staff told the board Meehan’s nomination had been approved by the city’s appointment recommendations committee. The record contains two different end dates for the term—one staff remark said “term ending 01/09/2029” while another stated “term ending 10/14/2029.” The board approved Meehan’s reappointment by unanimous vote; no public comment was made on the item.
Subvention funds report: Alejandro (last name not specified in the transcript), executive officer for the APCD (as introduced in the meeting record), informed the board that the district submitted a grant application to the California Air Resources Board on 09/17/2025 requesting $190,700 for fiscal year 2025–26 subvention funding. Alejandro said the district has received subvention assistance since fiscal year 1971–72 and continues to apply each year. The board received and filed the report; no formal action beyond receiving and filing was taken.
Meeting cancellation and minutes: The board also approved meeting minutes from the Sept. 9, 2025 meeting and voted unanimously to cancel the scheduled Nov. 11 meeting. All routine motions passed without substantive public comment.
Why it matters: The advisory committee appointment affects stakeholder representation for rule advisory work; the subvention application is a standard annual funding request to the California Air Resources Board. The inconsistent term end dates in the meeting record were not resolved during the meeting and are noted in this report.
Next steps: Staff will process the appointment paperwork, proceed with the CARB subvention application process as filed, and circulate updated meeting schedules to the public.
