Title
Consider recommendations regarding an Agreement with Community Action Commission of Santa Barbara County dba CommUnify (CommUnify) for Fiscal Years (FYs) 2022 - 2024, as follows:
a) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute a multiyear Agreement for Services with CommUnify, a California nonprofit corporation (a local vendor), for the provision of an American Rescue Plan Act (APRA)-funded countywide community wellness program for a Maximum Contract Amount not to exceed $300,000.00, for the period of July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2024;
b) Delegate to the Director of the Department of Behavioral Wellness or designee the authority to suspend, delay, or interrupt the services under the Agreement for convenience per Section 21 of the Agreement; make immaterial changes to the Agreement per Section 27 of the Agreement; authorize additional services per Exhibit B-1, all without altering the Maximum Contract Amount and without requiring the Board’s approval of an amendment of the Agreement, subject to the Board’s authority to rescind this delegated authority at any time; and
c) Determine that the above actions are government funding mechanisms or other government fiscal activities, which do not involve any commitment to any specific project that may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment and are therefore not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to section 15378(b)(4) of the CEQA Guidelines.
