The City Council hereby finds that the facts set forth in the recitals to this Resolution are true and correct, and establish the factual basis for the City Council’s adoption of this Resolution.
The City Council hereby determines that the actions authorized by this Resolution are not in-and-of-itself a “project” (pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378) since it does not result in a physical change in the environment.

The larger “project” is future Capital Improvement Projects, and staff plans to bring back a CEQA analysis of each project to Council prior to approval of each project.
The City Council hereby approves the updated 5-Year List of Projects for the City of Napa as set forth in Exhibit “A” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, and authorizes the Public Works Director to file the list with NVTA-TA in accordance with Measure T Expenditure Plan Section 6.
This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.
