CEQA does not apply because creation of government funding mechanisms or similar fiscal activities are not a project pursuant to 14 Cal Code of Regulations section 15378(b)(4) and maintenance projects are exempt under 14 Cal. Code of Regulations section 15301.
BACKGROUND
In 1982, the City of San Pablo formed the San Pablo Street Lighting and Landscape Assessment District No. 1982-1 and levied the first assessments for fiscal year 1982/83. The District was confirmed by a majority vote (approximately 2 to 1 voting in favor) at the general election held November 5, 1996. It is thus exempt from the procedures and approval process set forth in Section 4 of Article XIII D of the California Constitution (Proposition 218) unless assessments are increased.
