The additional funds will be used to provide additional community conservation services. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Director of Development Services 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 proposed action consists of a governmental fiscal activity which does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on 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. RECOMMENDATION Council adopt the resolution. BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION Not applicable. 6-1 6/7/11, Item Page 2 of 2 DISCUSSION The budget amendment would appropriate $2,995 in unanticipated revenue to the Conservation Section's Fiscal Year 11 operating budget. The revenue is the result of a reimbursement check from the Pacific Southwest Association of Realtors (PSAR) for City expenses incurred as part of its Bike Chula Vista initiative. The initiative, which expanded outreach to community members, realtors, and major employers about local bicycle resources and infrastructure, was sponsored by a "smart growth" grant from the National Association of Realtors secured by PSAR. The $2,995 in additional funds would support additional community conservation services focused on energy efficiency, renewable energy, water conservation, and alternative transportation. 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 mle found in California Code of Regulations section 18704.2(a)(1) is not applicable to this decision. CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT The $2,995 appropriation has no net-impact to the General Fund, because the one-time revenues will offset the one-time expenditures. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT The $2,995 appropriation to the Conservation Section's budget is a one-time activity, so there are no ongoing fiscal impacts associated with the budget amendment.
