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.
