of the City of Petaluma, California
RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE FISCAL YEAR 2021-2022
SPECIAL REVENUES AND TRUST FUNDS BUDGET
WHEREAS, the City Manager has prepared and submitted to the City Council a preliminary budget for the
period from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022, as required by Sections 59 & 60 of the City Charter; and
WHEREAS, the preliminary budget for fiscal year (FY) 2021-2022 does not exceed the estimated revenues,
other sources and available fund balances; and
WHEREAS, the FY 2021-2022 budget was prepared in accordance with the City Council’s goals,
Departmental Work Plans, budget assumptions and policies; and
WHEREAS, the FY 2021-2022 budget is balanced and does not require additional taxes; and
WHEREAS, the adoption of a fiscal year budget is exempt from the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15378, as adopting the budget
for a fiscal year does not meet CEQA's definition of a “project,” because the action does not have the potential
for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical
change in the environment, it is a fiscal activity which does not involve commitment to any specific project, and
because the action constitutes organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in
direct or indirect physical changes in the environment, and relatedly, the proposed action is exempt under the
common-sense exemption, CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there
is no possibility that the proposed action could have a significant impact on the environment.
WHEREAS, the City Council conducted a public workshop on May 10, 2021, at which time any and all
members of the public were afforded an opportunity to express their views; and
WHEREAS, based on the foregoing, staff recommends acceptance of the project on behalf of the City.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Petaluma hereby:
1. Declares the above recitals to be true and correct and are incorporated into this resolution as findings of the
City Council.
2. Finds the adoption of a fiscal year budget is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15378, as adopting the budget for a fiscal
year does not meet CEQA's definition of a “project,” because the action does not have the potential for
resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical
change in the environment, it is a fiscal activity which does not involve commitment to any specific project,
and because the action constitutes organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not
result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment, and relatedly, the proposed action is exempt
under the common-sense exemption, CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with
certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed action could have a significant impact on the
environment.
3. Finds that the City complied with the California Constitution, Government Code Section 7910, and City
Charter.
