b) Approve a Budget Revision Request No. 0005098 increasing appropriations of $545,000.00 in the Behavioral Wellness Department, Mental Health Services Act Fund, for services and supplies offset by a decrease in salaries and benefits appropriation; and
c) Determine that the above actions are government fiscal activities or funding mechanisms which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in potentially 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.
