(1) Find that the proposed actions do not constitute a “project” pursuant to section
15378(b)(2) of the Guidelines to the California Environmental Quality Act
(“CEQA”), because they constitute administrative activities; and even if the
proposed did constitute a project, it would be exempt from 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) Review their respective existing Conflict of Interest Code (“Code”), and approve
the proposed revisions to the City Council by directing its Chairperson to
document said decision by filing the “2014 Local Agency Biennial Notice” with
the Office of the City Clerk; and

one city-wide Master Conflict of Interest Code.
