1. ADOPT the determination by the Los Angeles Harbor Department (LAHD) that the proposed action is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with Article II, Section 2(f) of the Los Angeles City CEQA Guidelines.

The LAHD states that the ship count has continued to decline since that time due to the industry trend of fewer and larger ships calling at the POLA and Port of Long Beach (POLB). The POLB has historically adjusted its Vessel Traffic Service User Fees to be the same as the POLA and for similar dates. There will be no impact on the City’s General Fund.

Community Impact Statement: None submitted.
