Report Number: 22-0296
Location: 130 Beyer Way
Department: Animal Care
Environmental Notice : The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required.
Recommended Action
Adopt a resolution accepting $53,000 from UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine on behalf of its Shelter Medicine Program and appropriating funds to the Supplies & Services and Other expense categories in the Other Grant Funds for that purpose. (4/5 Vote Required)
SUMMARY
The Animal Care Facility has received a grant award in the amount of $53,000 to use for shelter services, related to clinics and community outreach at the Chula Vista Animal Care Facility. This grant award needs to be appropriated in the Fiscal Year 2022/23 Budget. Staff requests that $53,000 be appropriated to the Supplies & Services and Other expense categories in the Other Grant Funds for the Animal Care Facility department budget; this appropriation is fully offset by grant revenues.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because it will not result in a physical change in the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required.

DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT

Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.).
