c) Approve the filing of a Notice of Exemption pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines, Section 15273a (1), (2), (3), (4), finding that the Resolution is statutorily exempt from CEQA because CEQA does not apply to the establishment, modification, structuring, restructuring, or approval of rates, tolls, fares, or other charges by public agencies which the public agency finds are for the purpose of the following:
