COUNCIL POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Alt of the above projects and actions address City Council's goals to maintain fiscal responsibility and stability and improve, maintain, and enhance public facilities and infrastructure.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
CEQA excludes from environmental analysis those actions that are not "projects" as defined by State CEQA Guidelines Section 15378. That section excludes from the definition of "project" the creation of government funding mechanisms and fiscal activities which do not yet commit the lead agency to any specific project and excludes organizational or administrative governmental activities that do not result in physical changes to the environment. The actions proposed herein are budgetary and part of the City's normal administrative process as it takes early steps to prepare for the possibility of undertaking a project, and therefore they are not yet "projects" as defined by CEQA. As the City becomes more certain it will undertake one of the projects, and before it commits itself to the project, the appropriate environmental analysis will be conducted and brought to the appropriate City body for approval.
Amendments to FY 2027 CIP Budget

FISCAL IMPACT:
The cumulative result of these recommendations will increase the FY 2027 CIP budget by $500,000. The specific funding sources for the budget amendments are listed on Attachment A. There is no net change to the General Fund.
