BACKGROUND
Chapter 2.16 of the Municipal Code currently provides for a Library and Recreation
Department, which has evolved into two separate departments. Adoption of the proposed
ordinance establishes the Recreation Department and the Library Department and assigns
duties and responsibilities to their directors.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Environmental Review Coordinator 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; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060( c )(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the
activity is not subject to CEQA.
RECOMMENDATION
Council place the ordinance on first reading.
BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.

DISCUSSION
This is the first of many Municipal Code housekeeping amendments to be presented for
Council consideration. Currently, Chapter 2.16 of the Municipal Code establishes the
Library and Recreation Department, outlines duties and limitations of authority of its
director, and re-establishes the Charter-created Parks and Recreation Commission. The
Library and Recreation Department has evolved into two separate departments, the
Library Department and the Recreation Department. The proposed ordinance amends the
Municipal Code to accurately reflect the establishment and duties of each separate
department. Another ordinance will be presented in the future to withdraw the Parks and
Recreation Commission from Chapter 2.16, assign it its own chapter number, and place it
in the Code along with all other boards and commissions. (City Clerk, Assistant City
Manager/Library Director, Recreation Director).
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)(I) is not applicable to this decision.
FISCAL IMPACT
The only cost is the minor cost to codify the ordinance into the Municipal Code, and
funds have been budgeted for this purpose in the City Clerk's supplies and services
account.
