Mr. Ennis announced that staff has evaluated the acquisition of 31
Poindexter for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act.
The action is exempt from CEQA as a Class 1 Categorical (existing
facilities) exemption from CEQA based on State CEQA Guidelines Section
15301. This applies on the basis that the City will continue to operate the
property as either vacant or as storage which is consistent with prior uses
on the site. In addition, the acquisition is exempt from CEQA under the
"catch-all exception" because it can be seen with certainty that its
acquisition will not have the possibility to have a significant effect on the
environment. This exception applies because the City is not proposing to
use the property or to change the property to a new use at this time. If
and when the City proposes to use the property for a new and different
use, or for road widening, environmental review of those projects would be
conducted at that time.

this item due to a potential conflict with his business interests in the
property.

seconded a motion to: 1) Authorize purchase of property at 31 Poindexter

final language approval of the City Manager and the City Attorney; 2) Authorize
the City Clerk to accept the Grand Deed for the property; and 3) Adopt

purchase transaction and allocate funds for maintenance of the property. The
motion carried by roll call vote 4-0, Councilmember Simons absent.
