The action is also exempt from CEQA under Section 15378(b)(5) of the CEQA Guidelines because it involves an organizational or administrative activity of government that will not result in a direct or indirect physical change in the environment. Contact Person: Senior Planner Cadona Recommended Action: Receive and file a report regarding the pilot native plant incentive program and authorize staff to implement a one-year pilot program during Fiscal Year 2026/2027 to purchase southern California native plants and distribute to community members participating at two city- sponsored events. 2026-09-16 Item 12D Native Plant Incentive Program
