ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Development Services Director has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance
with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the
activity is not a "Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines
because the activity consists of a governmental administrative/fiscal activity that will not
result in direct or indirect physical changes 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 required.

DISCUSSION
The Community Fun Run is a Sk run or walk community event, held at the U.S. Olympic
Training Center. This event has been presented annually by the City since 2009,
organized and managed by the Recreation Department. The title sponsor of this year's
fun run, Aquatica, is donating $5,000 in sponsorship fees. These funds are needed to pay
for the up-front supplies and services costs for the fun run, as no funds are budgeted in
the Recreation Department's budget for this community event. These funds will be used
for printing of fliers, advertising, production of event t-shirts for participants, and other
miscellaneous costs.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found no property
holdings within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject to this
action. Staff is not independently aware, nor has staff been informed by any City Council
member, of any. other fact that may constitute a basis for adecision-maker conflict of
interest in this matter.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of this resolution will result in an appropriation of $5,000 to the Recreation
Department supplies and services budget. Aquatica is the source of funding; therefore
there is no fiscal impact to the City. Additional revenues from sponsors and vendors are
anticipated and will go directly to the Friends of Chula Vista of Parks and Recreation to
fund recreation programs and services. The staff time involved in running this event is
from full-time Recreation Department staff, whose costs are already included in the
Department's budget.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
The fun run will continue to be an annual City-run community event, with the City
paying the direct fun run costs associated with operating this event, with offsetting
revenue coming from appropriations of sponsorships and vendor fees, as needed.
Proceeds from fun run participant registrations go directly to the Friends of Chula Vista
Parks and Recreation to fund recreation programs and services.
