County Contribution to Services
This budget provides funding of the County’s share of costs for Monterey Bay Air Resources District (MBARD). MBARD serves as the primary enforcement mechanism for air pollution control and is governed by an eleven-member Board of Directors appointed from the elected governing bodies of Monterey, San Benito, and Santa Cruz counties, and cities within those counties. MBARD’s mission is to protect public and environmental health while balancing economic and air quality considerations.
