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 (b)(4) of the State
CEQA Guidelines because it does not involve a physical change to 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.

DISCUSSION
As part of the City's Budget Reduction Plan approved by City Council on December 4,
2007, funding for operations at the various City recreation centers was significantly reduced,
thereby severely impacting the Recreation Department's ability to offer free or low-cost
recreational programming. Funding was solicited and received from AT&T, Otay Land
Company LLC and Pacific Trust Bank specifically for teen programming at Lorna Verde
Recreation Center and from WAL-MART Foundation for the Halloween Haunted House
and general programming at Otay Recreation Center. The $1,900 in donations for teen
programming at Lorna Verde Recreation Center will cover both personnel and supplies and
services for several teen dances and dodge ball nights and the $2,000 in donations for Otay
Recreation Center will cover supplies and services related to the Halloween Haunted House
and general recreation programming.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council Members and has found no
such holdings within 500' of the properties which are the subject of this action.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no net impact to the General Fund. The $3,900 in donated funds needs to be
appropriated to the Recreation Department budget to offset the cost of personnel and
supplies and services associated with the programs.
ATTACHMENTS
None.
