He stated that Rich Napier, Executive Director of C /CAG was present to speak on AB 1546, which would allow C /CAG to impose a motor vehicle license fee within San Mateo County. C /CAG Executive Director Richard Napier, explained that both AB 1546 and ACA 10 are strongly supported by C /CAG. He stated that ACA 10 would reduce the liability in raising funds for the NPDES program. He stated that with voter approval it will be easier to assess fees for the program.
