Resolution No. 2026-056 <br /> Page 3 <br /> direct arguments. Each rebuttal argument shall immediately follow the direct argument <br /> which it seeks to rebut. <br /> SECTION 9. City Attorney Impartial Analysis. That the city council directs the <br /> city attorney to prepare an impartial analysis of the measure. <br /> SECTION 10. The approval of this Resolution is exempt from the California <br /> Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et.seq., "CEQA," and 14 <br /> Cal. Code Reg. §§ 15000 et. seq., "CEQA Guidelines"). The City's Uniform Transient <br /> Occupancy Tax increase to be submitted to the voters is a general tax that can be used <br /> for any legitimate governmental purpose; it is not a commitment to any particular action. <br /> Accordingly, under CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(4), the tax is not a project within <br /> the meaning of CEQA because it creates a government funding mechanism that does <br /> not involve any commitment to any specific project that may result in a potentially <br /> significant physical impact on the environment. If revenue from the tax were used for a <br /> purpose that would have either such effect, the City would undertake the required <br /> CEQA review for that particular project. Therefore, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines <br /> section 15060 CEQA analysis is not required. <br /> PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of <br /> Pleasanton at a regular meeting held on July 7, 2026. <br /> I, Jocelyn Kwong, City Clerk of the City of Pleasanton, California, certify that the <br /> foregoing resolution was adopted by the City Council at a regular meeting held on the 7th <br /> day of July 2026, by the following vote: <br /> Ayes: Councilmembers Eicher, Gaidos, Nibert, Testa, Mayor Balch <br /> Noes: None <br /> Absent: None <br /> Abstain: None <br /> JooFa'n Kw ng,Aity Clerk <br /> APPRO ED AS TO FORM: <br /> Daniel G.
