at the June 17, 2024 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 2024, 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.
