City Council

12B. Council Initiated Item from Mayor Ehlers regarding reconsideration of Hygeia Roundabout as an additional potential City Smart Growth Project to submit for the SANDAG Smart Growth Incentive Program (SGIP) Cycle 6. Environmental Considerations: The actions being considered by the City Council are not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because they are not a "project" per Section 15378(b)(5) of the CEQA Guidelines. The action authorizes staff to implement an organizational or administrative activity of government that by itself will not result in a direct or indirect physical change in the environment. This item is related to the City’s Climate Action Plan (CAP) and supports the implementation of the following CAP Measures CET-1 Complete and Implement the Citywide Active Transportation Plan and CET-3 Improve Traffic Flow. Recommended Action: 1. Approve a one-time exception to Policy C003 to allow this Council-initiated item (April 9, 2025, Item 12B) to be submitted after the specified policy deadline. 2. Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to apply for, accept and administer funding from the SANDAG (SGIP) Hygeia Roundabout (SGIP) Capital Project based on the volunteer-developed grant application and not incurring additional costs. 2025-04-09 Item 12B Council Initiated item from Ehlers Hygeia Roundabout SGIP Grant Consideration 2025-04-09 Item 12B Council Initiated item from Ehlers Hygeia Roundabout SGIP Grant Consideration Public Comment
