6.5.A. - Page 3 <br /> The City would supplement the County's efforts to communicate with the affected <br /> businesses, and the community at-large, both before and after enactment through its <br /> website, email lists, and news releases, and may supplement the County's direct mail <br /> with additional mailings. <br /> ALTERNATIVES <br /> 1. Direct staff not to proceed with the proposed ordinance banning certain <br /> polystyrene products. <br /> 2. Make changes to the proposed ordinance. <br /> FISCAL IMPACT <br /> Some City resources would need to be expended in order to supplement the County's <br /> outreach efforts, primarily consisting of staff time used in the publicity efforts. <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW <br /> This Ordinance has been reviewed with respect to applicability of the California <br /> Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of <br /> Regulations, Title 14, Sections 15000 et seq., hereafter the "CEQA Guidelines"). The <br /> City has determined that this Ordinance is not a"project" for purposes of CEQA, as that <br /> term is defined in CEQA Guidelines Section 15378. Because it is not a"project," this <br /> Ordinance is not subject to CEQA's requirements. Further, even if this Ordinance is <br /> deemed a"project" and therefore subject to CEQA, the Ordinance is exempt for the <br /> following reasons: (1) under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), it is not a project <br /> which has the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment; and (2) <br /> under CEQA Guidelines Section 15308, it is an authorized action by an agency with <br /> regulatory authority for the purpose of assuring the maintenance, restoration <br /> enhancement, or protection of the environment. Further, the ordinance is exempt under <br /> Section 15308 because it is an authorized action by an agency with regulatory authority <br /> for the purpose of assuring the maintenance, restoration, enhancement, or protection of <br /> the environment. <br /> � <br /> �1��==���m f�-:J <br /> � - . �.w _ <br /> � �.__ <br /> MALCOLM SMITH <br /> PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER <br /> �� <br /> ROBERT B.
