Title
Consider recommendations regarding acceptance of Byrne State Crisis Intervention Program (SCIP) - Cohort 2 Grant, as follows: (4/5 Vote Required)
a) Adopt a Resolution approving, ratifying, and authorizing the Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Office (SBSO) to submit a grant proposal and sign an Agreement with the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) for grant funds available through the Federal Byrne SCIP in an amount not to exceed $993,452.00 for a project period from August 1, 2025 through September 30, 2027;
b) Approve and authorize the Sheriff, or designee, to execute subsequent reports pursuant to the BSCC grant agreement, or make immaterial amendments that do not change the total agreement amount, do not extend the term of the Agreement, or change any other substantive terms of the BSCC Grant Agreement and subject to the Board’s ability to rescind this delegated authority at any time; and
c) Find that the proposed actions do not constitute a “project” pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines, section 15738(b)(4), as they are the creation of a government funding mechanism or other government fiscal activity, which does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.
