RESOLUTION NO. ___(2025)
AUTHORIZATING AN APPROPRIATION IN THE AMOUNT OF $66,000 FROM THE UNASSIGNED FUND BALANCE
OF THE STORM 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 seeks consultant support for a multi-agency regulatory permit which would allow the City to operate a general maintenance program on an as-needed basis for City-managed creeks and channels; and
WHEREAS, the City would like to enter into an agreement for Permitting Support for Citywide Creeks Maintenance Program with Montrose Environmental; and
WHEREAS, the cost for these services exceeded the available Fiscal Year 2025-26 Stormwater Pollution operating budget in the Storm Fund and an appropriation in the amount of $66,000 is needed; and WHEREAS, an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2025-26 operating budget is necessary to address funding of those services; and
WHEREAS, sufficient funds are available in the unassigned fund balance of the Storm 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 $66,000 from the unassigned fund balance of the Storm Fund to the Public Works Stormwater Pollution operating budget in the Storm Fund is authorized.
