FIND that the action of appropriating and withholding expenditure of funds for the Project, pending the completion, review and consideration of planning and environmental documents related to the Project, is not a project pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4) because it merely creates a funding mechanism or other government fiscal activity that does not commit the City to a project that may result in a potentially significant impact on the environment, and that preparing preliminary planning and environmental documents is not a project pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5) because it is an administrative activity that will not result in physical changes in the environment.

  2. APPROVE up to $607,074 in taxable, and $473,854 in tax-exempt in CRA/LA EBP for a combined total of $1,080,928 plus earned interest available to Council District 14 from the Adelante Eastside Redevelopment Project Area be utilized for the Project.

  6. INSTRUCT the BOE to report on its work progress to the City Administrative Officer (CAO), and funds expended to the Economic and Workforce Development Department (EWDD), on a quarterly and as-needed basis.

  7. AUTHORIZE the Controller, subject to the availability of funds, to expend up to $607,074 plus interest from the EBP Fund No. 57D, Account No. 22L9AT, Adelante Eastside Taxable series 2005-B and 2007-C; and, up to $473,854 plus Interest from Account No. 22L9AN, Adelante Eastside Tax-Exempt Series 2009-D, for activities related to the Project upon presentation of proper documentation by the BOE, and satisfactory review and approval of the EWDD in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Bond Expenditure Agreement.

  8. AUTHORIZE the BOE to perform limited preliminary planning as may be necessary to conduct the environmental review for the Project from the above-noted funds appropriated to the Project.

  9. INSTRUCT the BOE to withhold expending, or committing to expend, any of the remainder of the above-noted funds appropriated to the Project until all of the following have occurred:

    1. The BOE has completed the preliminary planning documents and environmental review documents.

    2. The City has complied with the requirements of the CEQA with respect to the Project, including obtaining any necessary CEQA clearances.

    3. The Board of Public Works has considered and approved the Project for expenditure of the remaining funds.

  10. AUTHORIZE the Interim General Manager, EWDD, or designee, to prepare Controller instructions and/or make technical adjustments that may be required and are consistent with this action, subject to the approval of the CAO; and, AUTHORIZE the Controller to implement these instructions.

Said transfers have been deposited with the Controller.

 

Community Impact Statement: None submitted.
