A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Palm Desert, California,
Authorizing the City Manager, or Designee, to Execute the Board of State
and Community Corrections Proposition 64 Public Health and Safety Grant
Program, Cohort 4 Grant Agreement and Related Documents
Whereas, Proposition 64, also known as the Adult Use of Marijuana Act,
legalized adult-use cannabis in California and established funding mechanisms to
address impacts associated with cannabis legalization; and
Whereas, the Board of State and Community Corrections administers the
Proposition 64 Public Health and Safety Grant Program, which provides funding to
eligible local jurisdictions for activities related to public safety and enforcement, public
health, youth development, youth prevention and intervention, and environmental
impacts associated with the implementation of Proposition 64; and
Whereas, the City of Palm Desert is an eligible jurisdiction because the City
allows licensed storefront retail cannabis businesses and regulates commercial
cannabis businesses through Palm Desert Municipal Code Chapter 5.101 and related
local regulations; and
Whereas, the City submitted an application to the Board of State and Community
Corrections Proposition 64 Public Health and Safety Grant Program, Cohort 4; and
Whereas, before a grant award can be finalized, the Board of State and
Community Corrections requires successful applicants to submit a governing board
resolution authorizing the individual who will execute the grant agreement on behalf of
the jurisdiction; and
Whereas, the proposed action to authorize the City Manager, or designee, to
execute the Proposition 64 Public Health and Safety Grant Program to support the
City’s Illicit Cannabis Response and Education Campaign is not subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines sections
15060(c)(3) and 15378(b)(4) and (b)(5). This action is not a project per State CEQA
Guidelines section 15378(b)(4) because it involves government fiscal activities that do
not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially
significant physical impact on the environment. Further, the action is also not a project
per State CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(5) because the action is also an
administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the
environment. Thus, the proposed action is not subject to CEQA under State CEQA
Guidelines section 15060(c)(3). No further environmental review is required for this
action.
