The City’s total cost share is $3,344,750. To fully fund the projects from Measure I.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1.The above recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference.
SECTION 2 Mayor and City Council hereby authorize the Agency Director of Finance to amend the FY 2023/24 Capital Improvement Plan, recording a supplemental appropriation in the amount of $3,344,750.00 in Measure I Fund For, Citrus Street and Other Roads Project (Phase I), Muscoy Area and Other Roads Project (Phase I), Lynwood Drive and Other Roads Project, Old Waterman Canyon and Other Roads Projects.
SECTION 5.CEQA. As the decision-making body for the project, the City Council has reviewed and considered the information contained in the administrative record for the proposed project. Based upon the facts and information contained in the administrative record, including all written and oral evidence presented to the City Council, the City Council finds, as follows:
(1) The administrative record has been completed in compliance with CEQA, the State CEQA Guidelines, and the City’s Local CEQA Guidelines.
(2) The proposed project is exempt from the requirements of California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15301 (Class 1 – Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines because it involves the street rehabilitation. Additionally, the City Council finds this Resolution is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in that the activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty, as in this case, that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.
(3) The application of the Class 1 categorical exemption is not barred by one of the exceptions set forth in the CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 because Pavement Rehabilitation does not present any unusual circumstances; would not damage scenic resources, including any resources in the area of a Scenic Highway; would not be utilized on a hazardous waste site; and would not impact historic resources of any kind; and
(4) The determination of CEQA exemption reflects the independent judgment of the City Council.
