RE: Approval of a Resolution for City Staff Members' Appointments to the

Recommendation
A. Find that approval of the proposed Resolution updating the City Staff Members'
appointments does not constitute a "project" pursuant to section 15378(b)(2) of the
Guidelines to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"), because it constitutes
an administrative activity; and even if the adoption of the proposed resolution did constitute
a project, it would be exempt from 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
B. Appoint key staff as either delegate(s) and/or alternate(s) to the following board of the
agency as follows:
1. Gateway Region Integrated Water Management Joint Power Authority (also
known as Gateway Water Management Authority Policy Board).
Appoint Director of Public Works Daniel Wall as the delegate; and appoint as
alternates, Storm Water and Special Projects Analyst Claudia Arellano and Interim
Water Specialist Fred Cardenas
Background

been identified. The proposed will ensure current and appropriate representation of the City of
Vernon for the Gateway Region Integrated Water Management Joint Power Authority (also known
as Gateway Water Management Authority Policy Board)
