action constitutes organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or
indirect physical changes in the environment; further any use of the grant funds if received will have its own
analysis for compliance with CEQA.

County of Orange (2013) 221 Cal 4th 846, 865) and because
this action constitutes organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment; further any use of the grant funds if received will have its own analysis for compliance with CEQA.
