WHEREAS, 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 at
this time because it involves only the acceptance of a grant and authorization to proceed with
engineering and environmental studies for the project; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060
(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA and once the project has
been fully defined, environmental review will be required and a CEQA determination completed.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City ofChula Vista
as follows:
I. That it accepts $50,000 in grant funds from the County of San Diego.
2. That it authorizes the City Manager to execute a Grant Agreement with the County of
San Diego.
