Title
Consider recommendations regarding Proposed Library Special Tax and Survey, Second District, as follows:
a) Approve and authorize staff to partner with the City of Goleta and approve a public survey to explore the feasibility of developing a library special tax ballot measure for the November 2014 election that would establish a special tax in the County Service Area 3 boundaries for library services and operations, as recommended by the Library Advisory Committee; and
b) Determine that the special tax survey and development of a ballot measure are not the approval of a project that is subject to environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(4), finding that such actions involve the creation of a governmental funding mechanism or other government fiscal activity, which does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment, and direct staff to file a Notice of Exemption (NOE).
