City Council

8I. Ratification of Emergency Purchase of one fire apparatus for\nthe Fire and Marine Safety Department. Environmental\nConsiderations: The action being considered by the City\nCouncil is exempt from the California Environmental Quality\nAct (CEQA) because it is not a "project" under Section\n15378(b)(5) of CEQA Guidelines. The action involves an\norganizational or administrative activity of government that will\nnot result in the direct or indirect physical change in the\nenvironment. The proposed apparatus for purchase will help\nthe City achieve its Climate Action Plan (CAP) goals because\nthe fire apparatus will contain a diesel engine and can be\nfueled by renewable diesel, which has less emissions than\nregular diesel.
