NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council does hereby

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Resolution is not a project under the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act, together with related
State CEQA Guidelines (collectively, "CEQA") because it has no potential for
resulting in physical change in the environment, either directly or ultimately. In
the event that this Resolution is found to be a project under CEQA, it is subject to
the CEQA exemption contained in CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) because
it can be seen with certainty to have no possibility of a significant effect on the
environment. CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential of causing
a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty 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. In this circumstance, the
acceptance of the feasibility report would have no impact on the environment. The
foregoing determination is made by the City Council in its independent judgment.
