that the activity is not a "Project" in accordance with Section 15378 (b)(2) of the State
CEQA Guidelines because it is a personnel related action; therefore, pursuant to Section
l5060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no
environmental review is necessary.

Staff recommends that Council adopt the resolution.
BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION

Clerk is recruited and selected. Ms. Norris's salary will revert to the Assistant City Clerk
level when her appointment as Interim City Clerk ends. Ms. Norris will continue to
receive her current level of benefits throughout the interim appointment period.
