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 the resolution as findings.
2.Finds that the action of proposing and submitting a list of projects to be funded by RMRA funds is not a
“project” pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15378 as this
is a fiscal and administrative activity. If the City receives RMRA funds, the City will analyze the specific
projects for CEQA compliance. However, the use of the RMRA funds for the specific projects will likely
be categorically exempt pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act and Title 14, the California
Code of Regulations (“CEQA Guidelines”), Section 15301(c), because the project consists of the repair,
maintenance, and minor alteration of existing public facilities involving negligible or no expansion of
existing or former use, including existing highways and streets, and the mitigation of pavement conditions
to enhance the safety for motorists and bicyclists. Accordingly, there is negligible or no expansion of use
beyond what currently exists and there are no cumulative impacts, unusual circumstances, or other factors
that would make the exemption inapplicable.
3.Approves the proposed project, attached hereto as Exhibit A, for use of RMRA funding for FY 25/26.
4.Directs the City Manager to submit the proposed project list to the California Transportation Commission.
5.Approves a quarterly budget adjustment to appropriate RMRA funding and carries forward unused budget
appropriations from the prior year to FY 25/26.
Under the power and authority conferred upon this Council by the Charter of said City.
