PROCEEDINGS

CHAIRPERSON NICHOLS: Good morning, everybody.

We have more than a good selection of stakeholders with us

this morning. We want to welcome everybody to the January

23rd, 2014, public meeting of the Air Resources Board.

The meeting will now come to order. And we will begin by

saying the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag.

(Thereupon the Pledge of Allegiance was

Recited in unison.)

CHAIRPERSON NICHOLS: The Clerk will please call

the roll.

CHAIRPERSON NICHOLS: Here.

BOARD CLERK JENSEN: Madam Chairman, we have a

quorum.

CHAIRPERSON NICHOLS: I would note one change in

the roll call is that we used to call her Council Member,

I believe. And now she's Mayor Mitchell. So

congratulations on your elevation.

BOARD MEMBER MITCHELL: It's rotation.

CHAIRPERSON NICHOLS: It's a good thing anyway.

And I have a couple of announcements to make

before we get started. First, a reminder that anyone who

would like to testify should fill out a request to speak

card. These are available in the lobby right outside the

Board meeting room. Please return it to the Board

assistant or the clerk, these people down here in the

front, if at all possible, prior to the commencement of

the item, because otherwise it gets very confusing and

difficult for them to juggle speakers while we're also

actually trying to run the hearing.

We appreciate it if you would remember that we

try to impose a three-minute time limit. And you can help

us with that by putting your testimony in your own words

rather than reading. If you have written testimony, it

will be read by us and will be entered into the record.

Also for safety reasons, I'm required to remind

you that there are emergency exits at the rear of the

auditorium as well as to the right and left side of this

dais that the Board is sitting on. In the event of a fire

alarm, we're required to evacuate the room immediately, go

down the stairs, and out of the building until we hear an

all-clear signal, at which point we can then come back and

resume the hearing.

Okay. Now, without further ado, to begin the

meeting, we're going to start with the items that are on

the consent calendar, of which we have only one, which was

to consider the approval of the California Infrastructure

State Implementation Plan. This is an element of our

required State Implementation Plan under the Clean Air

Act.

I would like to ask the Clerk if any witnesses

have signed up to testify. No, we have none.

Are there any Board members who would like to see

Seeing none.

BOARD MEMBER RIORDAN: Move approval, Madam

Chair.

BOARD MEMBER BALMES: I'll second.

CHAIRPERSON NICHOLS: Before we vote on this one,

we did receive a comment letter on this item. They didn't

ask to testify, and they're not protesting against us

handling it in this manner. But we would like to make the
