SUMMARY
The City is seeking to retain the services of a consultant to provide auditing and engineering services in order to update the existing Salt Creek Sewer Basin Development Impact Fee (DIF). Since the last DIF update in 2004, the City has had changes in planned development within the basin. It is now necessary to update the DIF to ensure there are adequate funds and projected fee revenues to facilitate buildout of the planned development of the Salt Creek Basin.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Development Services Director has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a "Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because the proposed actions consist of a governmental fiscal activity which does not involve commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment, Therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required. Although environmental review is not required at this time, once the scope of individual projects to be funded have been defined, environmental review will be required for each project and the appropriate environmental determination will be made.
