Title
Consider recommendations regarding a Human Services General Fund (HSGF) agreement with Santa Barbara Teen Legal Clinic to implement a program approved by the Board on May 3, 2022, as follows:
a) Approve, ratify and authorize the Chair to execute a HSGF Agreement for $20,000.00 between the County and Santa Barbara Teen Legal Clinic to implement the “Tara Haaland-Ford Restorative Justice Project” that was approved for funding by the Board on May 3, 2022;
b) Authorize the Director of the Community Services Department or designee, unless otherwise ordered by the Board, to exercise options to execute amendments to the Agreement to renew the grant for up to two additional one-year renewals, at the County’s discretion, subject to annual budget appropriations by the Board and the Contractor’s satisfactory performance; and
c) Determine that the above recommended actions are not the approval of a project that is subject to environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(4), finding that the actions are not a project as they are the creation of government funding mechanisms or other government fiscal activities which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant impact on the environment.
