SUMMARY
The Animal Care Facility has received a grant award in the amount of $ 34,200 to use for shelter improvements, equipment, and supplies at the Chula Vista Animal Care Facility. This grant award needs to be appropriated in the Fiscal Year 2023 Budget. Staff requests that $34,200 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.
