The City Council took a stand against a proposal by the South Coast Air Quality Management District that would require public agencies to buy only clean-fueled vehicles after Jan. 1.

The city prefers to wait until the price of these cars goes down, according to Monday’s memo. These vehicles currently cost 10% more than their gasoline-powered counterparts. In addition, there are few fueling stations and maintenance facilities to care for these vehicles.
