The above recitals are true and correct and are a substantive part of this Resolution. Section 2. The Board of Directors hereby declares that the Property is surplus land and not necessary for the District's use as of July 31, 2021. The basis for this declaration is that the District will be moving the fire station currently occupying the Property to another location within the City. Upon the relocation of the fire station, the Property will no longer be needed for the District's use. No District plan identifies the Property for public safety or other purposes after the relocation. Section 3. The City Clerk is hereby directed to send a notice of availability, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "B" and made a part of hereof, to the entities designated in Government Code Section 54222 ("Designated Entities") by electronic mail or by certified mail. Section 4. This Resolution has been reviewed with respect to the applicability of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) ("CEQA"). The Board of Directors hereby finds that it can be seen with certainty that the declaration of surplus land has no likelihood of causing a significant negative effect on the environment. This finding is premised on the fact that no project or physical changes are proposed for the Property and this declaration is merely an administrative procedure before the District may dispose of the property. Based upon these findings, the Board of Directors determines that this Resolution is exempt from the application of the California Environmental Quality Act, pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines. Section 5. The City Clerk is directed to file a Notice of Exemption pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15062. Section 6. The officers and staff of the District are hereby authorized, jointly and severally, to do all things which they may deem necessary or proper to effectuate the purposes of this Resolution, and any such actions previously taken are hereby ratified and confirmed.
