# Air Pollution Control District (APCD) - County of Santa Barbara - 10/15/26

The October 15, 2026 meeting of the Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District Board of Directors included a staff presentation on the 2026 Ozone Plan. Staff recommended that the Board adopt the plan and related CEQA findings and authorize its transmittal to the California Air Resources Board. The discussion covered emissions trends, existing control measures, and the district’s grant and incentive programs, which staff said have awarded more than $60 million over several decades. The transcript ends before the Board’s decision on the plan, so no adoption vote is recorded. No new contract award, solicitation, or purchasing decision was identified.

The director’s report noted that 270 air purifiers had been distributed in Cuyama through a program approved by the Board in June and paid for through the Clean Air Fund; no new spending authorization or dollar amount for that distribution was stated. Staff also reported that cannabis permitting uses a cost-reimbursement model intended to recover actual district costs. In closed session, the Board reported unanimous votes on confidential matters, with no procurement-related action disclosed.
