Item #: 8.1.

RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL

Recommend that the City Council consider a request for $3,000 from Council Discretionary Funds for Roseville Joint Union High School District (RJUHSD) for the RJUHSD Local Scholarship Program.


 
BACKGROUND

The Citizens’ Benefit Fund was established in 1993 with the net proceeds from the sale of the Roseville Hospital. The City Council may, after receiving the recommendation of the Roseville Grants Advisory Commission, annually appropriate up to 90 percent of the annual earnings of the Citizens’ Benefit Fund for the purpose of improving the quality of life for the citizens of the City of Roseville. In addition, the City Council, without the recommendation of the Roseville Grants Advisory Commission, may annually appropriate a minor amount up to $15,000 of the annual earnings for the purpose of improving the quality of life in Roseville.
 
FISCAL IMPACT

There is no fiscal impact to the City’s General Fund. Annually, the Assistant City Manager/Chief Financial Officer allocates $15,000 of the annual earnings on the Citizens’ Benefit Fund per section 4.06.040 in the Municipal Code and includes it in the annual budget along with the Citizens’ Benefit Fund resources available for appropriation each year. These earnings are restricted for the purpose of improving the quality of life for Roseville residents and appropriated by the City Council.

 

The balance remaining in the Council’s Discretionary Funds for FY2022-23 is $17,321.23.



ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW

The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) does not apply to activities that will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, or is otherwise not considered a project as defined by CEQA Statute §21065 and CEQA State Guidelines §15060(c)(3) and §15378. The award of funds meets the above criteria and is not subject to CEQA. No additional environmental review is required.
