RESOLUTION NO. _____ (2025)
AUTHORIZATING AN APPROPRIATION IN THE AMOUNT OF $95,000 FROM THE UNASSIGNED FUND BALANCE
OF THE LANDFILL FUND TO THE PUBLIC WORKS OPERATING BUDGET WHEREAS, the City Council also considers mid-year budget balancing through adjustments, appropriations, designations and transfers to adjust the current-year budget to meet anticipated changes in departmental budgetary needs; and
WHEREAS, the City entered into an agreement for Monitoring and Reporting Services for Hydrogen Sulfide Gas (H2S) at East 3rd Avenue Landfill with Stearns Conrad and Schmidt Consulting, Inc. dba SCS Engineers; and
WHEREAS, both routine monitoring and supplemental investigation to evaluate H2S and odor concerns exceeded the available Fiscal Year 2024-25 budget for landfill monitoring sooner than anticipated; and WHEREAS, additional investigation work in the upland wetland area of the landfill necessary and requires permits from several regulatory agencies, expanding the scope of work of the agreement; and WHEREAS, an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2024-25 operating budget is necessary to address funding of those services; and
WHEREAS, sufficient funds are available in the unassigned fund balance of the Landfill Fund to satisfy the funding needs.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN MATEO, CALIFORNIA, RESOLVES that:
1. In accordance with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines section 15378(b)(4), this action is categorically exempt from CEQA because it is a government fiscal activity that does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.
2. An appropriation in the amount of $95,000 from the unassigned fund balance of the Landfill Fund to the Public Works operating budget is authorized.
