8.A. - Page 35 <br />"CEQA Guidelines"). This ordinance imposes a general tax that can be used for any <br />legitimate governmental purpose; it is not a commitment to any particular action. As such, <br />under CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(4), the ordinance is not a project within the <br />meaning of CEQA because it creates a government funding mechanism that does not <br />involve any commitment to any specific project that may result in a potentially significant <br />physical impact on the environment. If revenue from the tax were used for a purpose that <br />would have either such effect, the city would undertake the required CEQA review for that <br />particular project. Therefore, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15060, CEQA <br />analysis is not required. <br />SECTION 5. Severability. If any provision of this ordinance or the application <br />thereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the remainder of the ordinance and <br />the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected <br />thereby. <br />SECTION 6. Voter Approval Required. This ordinance shall only become <br />operative if the tax imposed is approved by a simple majority of voters voting on the <br />question at the November 6, 2018 election. <br />SECTION 7. Effective Date. This ordinance relates to the levying and collecting <br />of the City transactions and use taxes and shall take effect immediately. <br />SECTION 8. Notice. The City Clerk is directed to take all actions to publish this <br />ordinance as required by applicable law. <br />ATTY/RESO.0075/CC RESO ELECTION — SALES TAX <br />REV: 07-19-18 VR <br />Page 13 of 13 <br />
