Recommendations
(1) Find that adoption of the proposed resolution to amend the
Sustainable Development & Energy Efficiency Commission Regular
Meeting Schedule is exempt under the California Environmental
Quality Act (“CEQA”) in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section
15061(b)(3), the general rule that CEQA only applies to projects
that may have an effect on the environment; and
(2) Adopt a resolution to set the SDEEC’s regular meeting schedule
to be on the third Wednesday of March, June, September, and
December (quarterly) at 3:30 p.m. Currently the regular
meetings are held bi-monthly, and not every three months, as
proposed.
2. A Resolution of the Sustainable Development and Energy Efficiency

Recommendations
(1) Find that adoption of the proposed resolution to repeal the
Sustainable Development & Energy Efficiency Commission Travel
and Expense Reimbursement Policy and Procedures is exempt under
the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) in accordance
with Section 15061(b)(3), the general rule that CEQA only
applies to projects that may have an effect on the environment;
and
(2) Adopt a resolution to repeal Resolution No. SDEEC-3, which
approved a Sustainable Development & Energy Efficiency
Commission Travel and Expense Reimbursement Policy and
Procedures, in light of an updated citywide Expense
Reimbursement Policy recently adopted by the Vernon City
Council. This would confirm that the SDEEC is subject to the
citywide reimbursement policy as it may be amended from time to
time.
