         Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council:
(1)    Find that the proposed action is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Class 1- Existing Facilities) and that there are no features that
distinguish this project from others in the exempt class, and therefore, there are no unusual circumstances;
(2)    Authorize the Interim City Manager, or designee, to execute an agreement (all documents and instruments to fulfill the Agreement), without competitive bidding pursuant to City Charter Section 1002(F), contracts for
professional or unique services with Tesla Motors, Inc. (“Tesla”), for a ten-year term with an option for two additional five-year extensions by mutual consent, for the installation and operation of the “Shopper’s Lane Charging
Depot” at the South Shopper’s Lane parking lot located at 410 Shopper’s Lane, Pasadena, CA. As described in the agenda report, the agreement authorizes the City to reimburse Tesla, or receive reimbursement from Tesla, in
an amount not-to-exceed $300,000 for shared expenditures necessary to complete the project; and
(3)    It is further recommended that the City Council grant the proposed contract an exemption from the Competitive Selection process pursuant to Pasadena Municipal Code Section 4.08.049(B) contracts for which the City’s
best interests are served.
