SUMMARY
The Fire Department recently received a donation in the amount of $1,000 from the
Walmart Foundation. The donation was presented to the Fire Department to support
community risk reduction programs and the annual fire department open house.
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.
DISCUSSION
One of the responsibilities of the Fire Department, via the Fire Prevention Division, is to
deliver fire prevention and safety education, training and awareness throughout the
community. To help meet this responsibility, a $1,000 donation recently received from
the Walmart Foundation, will be used to promote and deliver education on child safety.

Specifically, the Fire Deparment will purchase packages from Safety Child ID, which
includes the following: Immediate Response Cards, Student Safe Cards, and child IDs.
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 $1,000 to the
specialized 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.
