SECTION 2. The Measure I Five-Year Capital Project Needs Analysis for Fiscal Years 2027/2028 through 2031/2032, attached to this Resolution as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this reference, is hereby adopted.
SECTION 3.CEQA. The Mayor and City Council finds this Resolution is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in that the action is administrative in nature and limited to authorizing the submittal of projects for Valley Major Street Program funding.
Accordingly, it is not considered a “project” under CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), which excludes organizational or administrative activities that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. Any future projects that may be funded through the grants will be subject to separate CEQA review prior to approval or implementation. In addition, This 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 administrative action in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.
SECTION 4.Severability. If any provision of this Resolution or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications, and to this end the provisions of this Resolution are declared to be severable.
SECTION 5. Effective Date. This Resolution shall become effective immediately.
APPROVED and ADOPTED by the City Council and signed by the Mayor and attested by the City Clerk this 19th day of August 2026.
