and City Public Works website on May 17, 2022; and
WHEREAS, the Second Addendum to the Initial Study and Mitigated Negative

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA MONICA
DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council has reviewed and considered the Second Addendum
to the Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration together with the comments received
during the public review process, prior to acting on the Second Addendum.
SECTION 2. The City Council finds that the Second Addendum to the Initial Study and
Mitigated Negative Declaration did not identify new or substantially more severe
environmental effects from the proposed changes to the project.
SECTION 3. With mitigation measures identified in the adopted Initial Study and
Mitigated Negative Declaration, the proposed changes would have less than significant
impacts on Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, and Construction Effects. No impacts
would occur or impacts would be less than significant for the remaining environmental factors
considered pursuant to CEQA.
SECTION 4. To ensure that mitigation measures are properly implemented, a
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program was prepared and will be enforced during
construction and operation of the Olympic Well Field Restoration and Arcadia Water
Treatment Plant Expansion Project.

SECTION 5. The City Council finds, based on the whole record before it, including
the Second Addendum to the Project Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration and
any comments received, that with incorporation of the proposed mitigation measures,
there is no substantial evidence in light of the whole record that the changes to the
Project will have a significant effect on the environment, and that the Second Addendum
to the Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the City’s independent
judgment and analysis. Therefore, the City Council hereby adopts the Second
Addendum to the Olympic Well Field Restoration and Arcadia Water Treatment Plant
Expansion Project Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration.
SECTION 6. Consistent with Public Resources Code Section 21081.6 (a) (2), the
documents which constitute the record of proceedings for approving the Second
Addendum for this Project are located in the City Clerk Department, 1680 Main Street,
Santa Monica, California. The custodian of these documents is the City Clerk.
SECTION 7. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this resolution, and
thenceforth and thereafter the same shall be in full force and effect.
