ACTION ITEMS
1. Election of Chairperson and Vice Chairperson to the Sustainability
Development and Energy Efficiency Commission (“SDEEC”) for 2014.
Recommendations
(1) Find that the election of Chairperson and Vice Chairperson is
exempt from 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) The SDEEC elect a Chairperson and Vice Chairperson of the SDEEC
to serve a one year term. The Chairperson and Vice Chairperson
must be from different appointing categories. Due to term
limits, the existing Chairperson, Hector Garcia, cannot be
reelected to serve as Chairperson.
2. A Resolution of the Sustainable Development and Energy Efficiency
Commission of the City of Vernon adopting a work plan and budget for
fiscal year 2014-2015.
Recommendations
(1) Find that merely recommending a proposed budget, and a possible
scope of action are not final actions subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), and that even if they were,
they would be exempt from CEQA under 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 approving the proposed work plan and request
for budget authorization of $20,000 for the Sustainable
Development and Energy Efficiency Commission for fiscal year
2014-2015, and direct staff to submit said plan and budget to
the City Council for review and approval.
ORAL REPORTS
