Council noted the action taken by Governor Reagan to convert a portion
of State cars to the use of natural gas and will commend such steps.
Governor Reagan has also directed that 1971 cars and trucks purchased
by the State meet 1975 standards for air pollution, and has combined
this action with an offer to local governments to permit them to use
State purchasing procedures to secure cars as clean as those being
purchased by the State. The Governor, noting the lack of natural gas
filling stations, has said that the State will install its own.
Council will commend Governor Reagan in these actions and directed
staff, in preparing specifications for 1971 cars, to follow the State
lead and to also request that local jurisdictions be permitted to use
State filling stations where they are the most convenient stations
available.
Staff will continue to investigate the possibility of acqulrlng an
inexpensive compressor which would work like those supplying compressed
air facilities in service stations -used for tire inflationsl_6_70
