WHEREAS, NSAQMD applied to USEPA and received grant funding (2018 Targeted AirShed Grant) to implement a wood stove change-out program in the area; and WHEREAS, City has the authority, capability and workforce to process applicable permits for the wood stove change-out and receive the non-compliant stove in accordance with state and federal law; and
WHEREAS, City further has the capacity to cause the non-compliant stove to be made useless and destroyed, and collected for final disposition and recycling; and WHEREAS, NSAQMD has identified City as capable of the tasks presented; and WHEREAS, NSAQMD Board of Directors and Portola City Council respectively and separately authorized the establishment of an MOU between the two entities, and for City to provide services to NSAQMD, and for NSAQMD to pay City for services provided.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and covenants set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

1.2 City will log the activities performed at the request of NSAQMD or as is required for the completion of work on the Program in an administrative logbook. The administrative logbook will include a description of the activity, from request of permit to final disposition of the non-compliant heating device, and time spent in process.
Copies of the logbook pages will be submitted to NASQMD as support documentation for the NSAQMD's billing statements.
