HEARING - Consider recommendations regarding the framework, approach and budget to phaseout oil & gas operations, as follows: (EST. TIME: 1 HR. 30 MIN.) a) Authorize staff to initiate work on developing an ordinance to prohibit drilling of new oil and gas wells and to initiate work on preparing a Request for Proposals to undertake an amortization study to determine an appropriate period to phase out existing oil and gas facilities/operations; b) Direct Planning & Development Department staff to add this project to the Long-Range Planning Annual Work Program for Fiscal Year 2025-2026, and adjust work on other projects, as necessary; c) Provide additional direction to staff regarding the framework and/or approach; and d) Determine that the proposed actions are not a project pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5) because providing direction to staff is an organizational or administrative activity of the government that itself will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.
