NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS DETERMINED and ORDERED that:
1. The City Council hereby approves the Third Amended and Restated Joint
Exercise of Powers Agreement, attached as Exhibit A hereto.
2. Adoption of the Third Amended and Restated Joint Powers Agreement is a
governmental organizational activity and is therefore exempt from California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review because it is not a project within the meaning
of CEQA. CEQA Guideline 15378 defines "Project" for CEQA purposes; Section 15378
(b) states that Project does NOT include: (5) Organizational or administrative activities
of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the
environment."
