b) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute a Right of Way Contract to the Caltrans for the above referenced easement;
c) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute an Easement Deed to Caltrans for the above referenced easement;
d) Find that pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 14 CCR 15162, no substantial changes are proposed, and no new information of substantial importance has come to light regarding environmental effects of the project or of the sufficiency or feasibility of mitigation measures, and therefore the easement granted to Caltrans is within the scope of the project covered by the Linden Avenue and Casitas Pass Road Interchange Project EIR/FONSI certified in 2010 by Caltrans, and accepted by the Board of Directors, acting as a Responsible Agency on August 21, 2012, and therefore no new environmental document is required; and
