Balance sheet accounts record funds collected from private parties for a specific use together with the various expenditures that result from associated projects and activities. This report shows a brief description of each account along with its purpose, month-end balance, and the managing department.

After analysis, staff determined that public outreach was not required for this issue.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The City has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA.
