Title
Consider recommendations regarding an Agreement with Homebase for Support to the Santa Maria / Santa Barbara County Continuum of Care, as follows:
a) Ratify, approve and authorize the Chair to execute an Agreement (Agreement) with Homebase from February 1, 2025 to June 30, 2025, in the amount of $100,000.00 for delivery of consulting services that support management of the Santa Maria / Santa Barbara County Continuum of Care and the administration of multiple funding sources;
b) Authorize the County’s Community Services Department Director, or designee, to approve and execute amendments to extend the term of the Agreement, to amend the Agreement’s Budget line items and/or amounts in each line item, provided that the overall amount of the Budget is not increased, and approve necessary administrative changes to the Agreement that are necessary to conform with Federal, state, and local laws, guidelines, policies, and funding amounts; and
c) Determine that the approval of the recommended actions is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4) since the recommended actions are government fiscal activities which do not involve commitment to any specific project which may result in potentially significant physical impact on the environment.
