Redlands council asks staff to review South Coast AQMD appliance rules after residents urge opposition
Summary
Public commenters urged the Redlands City Council to oppose proposed South Coast Air Quality Management District rules that would require replacement of natural-gas furnaces and water heaters; the council directed staff to review the rules and report back within about a month.
The Redlands City Council asked the city manager to review recent South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) proposals after multiple public commenters urged the council to oppose the rules that would require a transition to zero‑emission home appliances.
The requests came during public comment from Joshua Hall and Dale Broom, who urged the council to send letters of opposition to SCAQMD and to the governor. Council member Angel Tejeda asked the city manager to study SCAQMD rules “11 11 and 11 21” and return to the council with a recommendation on whether to send correspondence; council members agreed to review the item at the next meeting cycle, with one member stating, “We can go a month. We can go, the eighteenth.”
