(D) In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines, the City Council has determined that the increases in the water service charges are exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15378 and Section 15273 of the CEQA Guidelines and Cal. Public Resources Code § 21080(b)(8) because:
(1) The increased charges are for the purpose of meeting operational and maintenance expenses of the aforementioned services; and
(2) The charges constitute the creation of a funding mechanism/other governmental fiscal activity that does not involve any commitment to any specific project that may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.
