A. The City of EI Segundo maintains the open space area known as Memory

Hillcrest Street; within the open space area, Memory Row offers
opportunities for individuals to donate a tree or bench to the City for the
purposes of enhancing the urban forest and park area;

significant occasion that is recognized by the placement of a customized
plaque affixed to the donated item; the proposed fee covers the expenses
associated with the purchase of the tree/bench, plaque, labor and other
materials for the installation of the donated item;

pursuant to state law (Gov. Code § 37112);
D. A charge imposed for a specific government service or product provided
directly to the payor that is not provided to those not charged, and which
does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of
providing the service or product are excepted from the definition of "tax"
under Proposition 26 and may be adopted by the City Council (Cal. Const.
art. XI I IC, § 1(e)(2)); and
E, Based on the recommendation of the City Manager and the Director of
Recreation and Parks, the City Council believes that it is in the public
interest to establish the recommended fees.

Quality Act (Cal. Pub. Res. Code §§ 21000, et seq.; "CEQA") and CEQA Guidelines (14
Cal. Code Regs. §§ 15000, et seq.) because it establishes, modifies, structures,
restructures, and approves rates and charges for meeting operating expenses;
purchasing supplies, equipment, and materials; meeting financial requirements; and
obtaining funds for capital projects needed to maintain service within existing service
areas. This Resolution, therefore, is categorically exempt from further CEQA review
