The full text of the Measure shall not be printed in the voter information guide, and a statement shall be printed on the ballot pursuant to Elections Code section 9223 advising voters that they may obtain a copy of this Resolution and the Measure, at no cost, upon request made to the City Clerk. Section 12. All persons qualified to vote at municipal elections in the City on the day of election herein provided shall be qualified to vote on the Measure hereby submitted at the General Municipal Election. Section 13. 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 14. 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 15. 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 16.

Section 17. 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 18. 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 19. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by a majority of the City Council. Resolution No. 2024-XXX Page 4 of 5
