Section 14. In all particulars not recited in the Resolution, the election shall be held and conducted as provided by law for holding general municipal elections in the City. Section 15. Notice of the time and place of holding the election is hereby given, and the City Clerk is authorized, instructed, and directed to give further or additional notice of the election in the time, form, and manner as required by law. Section 16, The City Clerk shall receive the canvass as it pertains to the election and shall certify the results to the City Council, as required by law. Section 17. Pursuant to California Elections Code Section 9295, this Resolution and the included Measure will be available for public examination for no fewer than ten (10) calendar days prior to being submitted for printing in the voter information guide. Section 18. The City Council finds and determines that this Resolution is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines because it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, as there is no possibility it will have a significant effect on the environment and it is not a "project," as defined in section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines. Furthermore, the Resolution falls within the "common sense" CEQA exemption set forth in CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3), excluding projects where "it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment." Section 19. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or provision of this Resolution or the application thereof to any person or circumstances is held invalid or unconstitutional by any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity or unconstitutionality shall not affect the validity of any other provision or applications, and to this end the provisions of this Resolution are declared to be severable. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this Resolution and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or provision thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases or provisions thereof be declared invalid or unconstitutional. Section 20, This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by a majority of the City Council. Section 21. The City Clerk is hereby directed to certify to the passage and adoption of this Resolution and to file a certified copy of this Resolution with the Orange County Board of Supervisors and the Registrar of Voters of Orange County at least eighty-eight (88) days before the date of the election. ADOPTED this 71" day of November. 2023. Resolution No. 2023-075 Page 5 of 6
