Title
Consider recommendations regarding the acceptance of a gift to the County of Santa Barbara (through the County Arts Commission) of an art collection from Anne and Walon Green, as follows: (4/5 Vote Required)
a) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute a Gift Agreement with Anne and Walon Green to accept 10 paintings by artist Channing Peake in the net assets value amount of $148,400.00;
b) Approve a Budget Revision Request that accounts for the donation;
c) Authorize the Director of the Community Services Department or his designee to execute the donation receipt; and
d) Determine that the recommended action is not the approval of a project that is subject to the environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4), finding that the project is a creation of government funding mechanisms or other government fiscal activities, in this case the acceptance/receipt of an art collection with a net asset value, which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant impact on the environment, and direct staff to file the Notice of Exemption.
