RECOMMENDATION
• Find that the project proposed herein is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3), the “Common Sense” exemption that CEQA
applies only to projects that may have an effect on the environment;
• Modify the prior contract authorization with the State of California Office of Traffic Safety for accepting of the Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) and the Project Safe Neighborhoods Grant Funds to reflect the City Manager’s authority to contract with the San Diego Association of Governments for the Project Safe Neighborhoods Grant.

BACKGROUND
• October 2, 2023, City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into a contract with the State of California Office of Traffic Safety for accepting of the Selective Enforcement Program (STEP) and the Project Safe Neighborhoods Grant Funds
• The funds for the grant are not obtained through an
agreement with the State, but rather, with the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG).
• Original Agenda Report did not mention SANDAG.
• Need to change Council authorization to reflect the correct entity name as San Diego Association of Governments
(SANDAG) to receive the Project Safe Neighborhoods Grant Funds.
• All other recommendations from the original report remain. 3 Police Department
FISCAL IMPACT
• There is no fiscal impact as a result of this action to confirm the prior contract authorization reflecting the full business entity name, and this action will not have any indirect or support cost requirements.
