Mendocino County Municipal Code Div. FOUR Effective

If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be unconstitutional and invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portion of this Ordinance. The Board hereby declares that it would have passed this Ordinance and every section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one (1) or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared unconstitutional or invalid.

(Ord. No. 4379, 3-7-2017)

Adoption and implementation of this ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment. Adoption and implementation of the Permit and Provider Authorization requirements, and other measures contained in the ordinance will not result in any direct physical change to the environment. The basis for this determination is that this ordinance does not in itself approve any activities that have an environmental impact, but instead establishes standards, Permit and Provider Authorization requirements, and other measures that regulate the delivery of EMS. The Director of the Department of Health Services is directed to file a notice of exemption in accordance with CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines.

(Ord. No. 4379, 3-7-2017)

A summary of the ordinance shall be published once before the expiration of fifteen (15) days after passage, with the names of the Supervisors voting for or against the same, in The Ukiah Daily Journal, a newspaper of general circulation published in the County of Mendocino, State of California.
