RE: Adopt a Resolution Approving the Green Vernon Commission Work Plan and
Budget for FY 2015-2016
Recommendation
A. Find that merely recommending a work plan and 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
B. Adopt a resolution approving the proposed work plan and request for budget authorization
of $20,000 for the Green Vernon Commission for fiscal year 2015-2016.
Background
On Wednesday March 18, 2015, the Green Vernon Commission approved a recommendation to
adopt a Resolution approving the proposed Work Plan and Budget for FY 2015-2016 by a vote of
5-0.
Ordinance 1188, section 2.149. Powers and Duties requires the Green Vernon Commission to
prepare an annual Work Plan and Budget within 60 days of our first meeting. The following work
plan outlines the goals, tasks and focus of the Commission for the upcoming year:
Work Plan
1. Make recommendations to City Council regarding sustainability and energy efficiency
standards to be considered as part of the City's review process for conditional use permits
and variances.
2. Develop tools and programs to educate Vernon's residents, communities, surrounding
areas and businesses on sustainability related goals and successes.
3. Explore alternative technology projects.
4. Develop programs or methods to provide environmental compliance assistance to
businesses and residents that focus on the following:
