of the City of Petaluma, California
TO CONTINUE BUDGET APPROPRIATION ORDINANCES 2777, 2778, 2779, 2780, 2781, 2782
N.C.S UNTIL FISCAL YEAR 2022-23 BUDGET APPROPRIATION ORDINANCES ARE IN EFFECT
WHEREAS, on June 21, 2021, City Council approved Ordinances 2777, 2778, 2779, 2780, 2781, and 2782
N.C.S. which approved all fund appropriations for the operation of the City of Petaluma from July 1, 2021 to
June 30, 2022; and
WHEREAS, the appropriation resolutions and first reading and introduction of budget ordinances for fiscal
year 2022/23 took place at the May 16, 2022 meeting and will be adopted upon second reading at this June 6,
2022 meeting; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to California Government Code Section 36937ordinances go into effect 30 days from
adoption; and
WHEREAS, due to the timing of this year's budget action and the need to have appropriation authority on
July 1st 2022,for spending to occur and current operations to continue,a continuing resolution is needed to provide
temporary authorization for spending to begin on the first day of the new fiscal year; and
WHEREAS, Section 60 of the Petaluma Charter states that, "Before the annual appropriation ordinance has
been passed, the council may make temporary appropriations for current department expenses, chargeable to the
appropriations of the year when passed, to an amount sufficient to cover the necessary expenses of the various
departments, until the annual appropriation is in force"; and
WHEREAS, The proposed action is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15378, in that adopting a continuing resolution to
extend the current budget appropriation ordinances 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, and because the action constitutes organizational or
administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the
environment.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Petaluma hereby:
1. Declares the above recitals are hereby declared to be true and correct and are incorporated into this resolution
as findings of the City Council.
2. Finds that the proposed action is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15378, in that adopting a continuing resolution to
extend the current budget appropriation ordinances 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, and because the action constitutes
organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical
changes in the environment.
