WHEREAS, on September 23, 2014, the City Council approved the Community Service
Grant Program (CSGP) process and annually budgets funds to implement the program; and
WHEREAS, on October 25, 2022, the City Council established the composition of the CSGP
Grant Committee (the "Committee") consisting of one member appointed by each of the
Councilmembers; and
WHEREAS, the total funding available for this program in FY 2024-25 is $75,000; and

$185,368 from the FY 2024-25 CSGP; and
WHEREAS, the Committee convened on February 28, 2025, to develop funding
recommendations for City Council’s consideration; and
WHEREAS, on March 11, 2025, the City Council considered the recommendations of the
Committee and approved funding for certain proposed CSGP projects; and
WHEREAS, the City Council’s consideration and approval of 2024-25 CSGP funding is not
a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because it has no

the environment (State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060, subd. (c)(2)-(3), 15378); and
WHEREAS, the City’s public purpose in disbursing CSGP funding, to benefit Arroyo Grande
citizens for community services and projects, outweighs any private benefit.

as follows:
1. The recitals set forth herein are true, correct and incorporated herein by
reference.
2. The City Council hereby approves funding for the 2024-25 CSGP as set forth in
