SUMMARY
The Fire Department recently received a donation in the amount of $500 from the Walmart
Foundation. The donation was presented to the Fire Department to support community risk
reduction programs.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This proposed activity has been reviewed for compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and it has been determined that the activity is not a
"Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because it will
not result in a physical change in the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section
15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no
environmental review is necessary.
RECOMMENDATION
Council adopt the resolution.
BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Not Applicable.

deliver fire prevention and safety education, training and awareness throughout the

Department will purchase and provide families with carbon monoxide detectors and
replacement batteries for detectors, all in an effort to increase the level of safety and
awareness in the home.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is
not site specific and consequently the 500-foot rule found in California Code of
Regulations section 18704.2(a)(1) is not applicable to this decision.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of this resolution will result in a one-time appropriation of $500 to the supplies
and services category of the Fire Department. The donation from the Walmart
Foundation will completely offset these costs, resulting in no net impact to the General
Fund.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
There is no ongoing fiscal impact for accepting this donation.
