A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA
APPROVING THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FY 2004-08
AND ADOPTING THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT BUDGET FOR FY
2003-04
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Redevelopment Agency of the City of
Temecula has reviewed the proposed FY 2004-08 Capital Improvement Program and has held
such public meetings as are necessary prior to adopting the Capital Improvement Budget for FY
2003-04.
WHEREAS, the careful timing of the installation of such improvements is necessary so
as to best serve the public health, safety and welfare; and
WHEREAS, in order to prioritize these public infrastructure and improvements, Capital
Improvement Program is necessary;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE REDEVELOPMENT
AGENCY DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The Capital Improvement Program FY 2004-08 is hereby approved. A
copy of the FY 2004-08 Program is attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and will be kept on file in the
office of the City Clerk.
Section 2. Adoption of this Program is categorically exempt from environmental
review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Pursuant to Section 15262 of
the State Guidelines for Implementation of CEQA, a project involving only feasibility or planning
studies for possible future actions, which actions the City Council has not approved, adopted or
funded, does not require preparation of an EIR or Negative Declaration, but does require
consideration of environmental factors. In reviewing this Program and conducting public
hearings on it, the City Council has considered relevant environmental factors. This City
Council, as the lead agency for environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental
Quality Act and the Guidelines promulgated thereunder (collectively "CEQA") has reviewed the
scope and nature of this Capital Improvement Program and has concluded that the planning
and prioritization process comprising this activity is not a project pursuant to CEQA because it
does not order or authorize the commencement of any physical or other activity that would,
directly or indirectly, have a significant effect upon the environment. The Capital Improvement
Program merely establishes a listing of priority and allocates funds for the City to commence the
necessary planning studies, including review pursuant to CEQA, at a future, unspecified date.
The future planning studies will be conducted at the earliest possible time, so as to ensure
thorough review pursuant to CEQA.
Recognizing that the protection of the environment is a key factor in the quality of life within the
City of Temecula, and to further the City's strict adherence to both the spirit and letter of the law
as regards CEQA, this City Council has also considered this Capital Improvement Program as if
it were a Project pursuant to CEQA. Reviewing this Program as a Project, this City Council
concludes that the Project would be exempt from review under CEQA both pursuant to Section
15061(b)(3) and pursuant to the categorical exemption set forth in Section 15262 of CEQA.
Section 15061(b)(3) would apply because it can be seen with certainty that this prioritizing and

fund allocation program, cannot and does not have the potential to cause a significant effect on
the environment. No physical activity will occur until all required CEQA review is conducted at
the time the physical improvements prioritized in the Program are undertaken. Section 15262
provides a categorical exemption to actions that are feasibility or planning studies related to
possible future actions. This Council is aware of and has considered the current and relevant
environmental factors as an integral component of the review of this Program. This Council, as
lead agency, hereby determines and decides that the exemption provided by both Section
15061(b)(3) and 15262 apply in the event this is deemed a Project pursuant to CEQA.
Section 3. That certain document now on file in the office of the City Clerk of the City
of Temecula entitled "City of Temecula Capital Improvement Program FY 2004-08" included
herein appropriations for FY 2003-07 is hereby adopted. The ClP appropriations for the 2001-
2002 Fiscal Year which have not been completed, encumbered nor included in the FY 2004-
2008 ClP are hereby carried over for each applicable project to the Fiscal Year 2003-2004.
Section4. On May 21, 2003 the Planning Commission found the Capital
Improvement Program consistent with the General Plan in accordance with Government Code
Section 65404(c) of State Planning and Zoning Law.
Section 5. That the following controls are hereby placed on the use and transfers of
budget appropriations:
No expenditure of funds shall be made unless there is an unencumbered
appropriation available to cover the expenditure.
The City Manager may authorize expenditures of funds in amounts up to
$25,000. Any expenditure of funds in excess of $25,000 requires Board
of Directors action.
The City Manager may approve change orders on Redevelopment
Agency contracts in amounts up to $25,000, if sufficient appropriated
funds are available.
D. That the City Manager may authorize transfers of up to $25,000 between
approved Capital Improvement Program projects.
Notwithstanding Section 5B, pursuant to Section 3.13.080 of the
Municipal Code, the City Manager may authorize Redevelopment Agency
contracts in amounts up to $25,000. Any expenditures of Redevelopment
Agency funds in excess of $25,000 require City Council action, except
that the City Manager may approve change orders on Redevelopment
Agency contracts approved by the Board of Directors in amounts up to
project contingency established by Board of Directors.
Section 6. Councilmember Stone abstains with respect to projects within the Old
Town area due to property ownership in Old Town Temecula.
Section 7. Certification. The City Clerk shall certify the adoption of this resolution.
