Meetings would not be held on the Tuesdays that have been outlined on the attached draft calendar. Meetings may be added throughout the year as needed.
CEQA CONSIDERATION:
Not a Project. The City of Salinas has determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378).
