Document Description
The City Council authorizes the City Administrator or designee to accept and appropriate one hundred seventy thousand dollars ($170,000) in Transformative Climate Communities (TCC) Planning Grant Funds, to pay for the "East Oakland Neighborhoods Initiative" -- a partnership between the City and local community-based organizations, to convene residents in six East Oakland neighborhoods, to prioritize projects for green-house gas reduction, transportation improvements, public health and community resilience. The six neighborhoods are: Brookefield Village/Columbia Gardens, Coliseum/ Rudsdale/Lockwood/Havenscourt, Highland/Elmhurst, Sobrante Park, Stonehurst and Melrose.
The City's acceptance and expected expenditure of $170,000 in Transformative Climate Communities Grant for the "East Oakland Neighborhoods Initiative" is exempt from CEQA Guidelines Sections 15183 (projects consistent with a community plan, general plan, or zoning), 15262 (feasibility and planning studies), 15306 (information collection), and 15061(b)(3) (general rule), each as a separate and independent basis.
