Title
Consider recommendations regarding a Student Support Agreement between the County of Santa Barbara and Allan Hancock College Paramedic Program, as follows:
a) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute a Student Support Agreement which will allow the Santa Barbara County Fire Department (Fire Department) to provide clinical paramedic student learning experiences in cooperation with Allan Hancock College with a period of performance from April 2, 2024 to April 2, 2029;
b) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute Exhibit C to the Student Support Agreement allowing for use of electronic signatures;
c) Approve and authorize the Fire Chief to make immaterial amendments in accordance with Agreement Section 23 and to extend the term of the Agreement in accordance with Sections 10 and 13 provided that the term does not extend beyond December 31, 2029, unless otherwise directed by the Board and upon review and approval by County Counsel’s Office and Risk Management; and
d) Determine that these activities are not a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per CEQA Guideline Section 15378(b)(5), since the recommended actions are organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.
