Recommendations for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE MAYOR: DETERMINE that: The Council’s action is exempt from CEQA under Section 153001 of the State CEQA Guidelines and Section 1(a) of Article Ill of the City CEQA Guidelines, in that the project involves the minor alteration of an existing public facility with negligible or no expansion of its current use.
