Title
Consider recommendations regarding a Services Agreement with the Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (PATH) for transitional housing and ancillary services for Fiscal Year 2025-2026, as follows:
a) Approve, ratify, and authorize the Chair to execute an Agreement for Services of Independent Contractor with PATH (not a local vendor) for the provision of transitional housing and ancillary services for a maximum contract amount not to exceed $239,200.00 for the period of July 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025;
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 and make immaterial changes to the Agreement per Sections 20 and 26 of the Agreement, respectively; reallocate funds between funding sources per Exhibit B-1; and amend the program goals, outcomes, and measures per Exhibit E-1, all without altering the maximum contract amount and without requiring the Board of Supervisor’s approval of an amendment of the Agreement, subject to its ability to rescind this delegated authority at any time; and
c) Determine that the above-recommended actions are not 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 governmental funding mechanisms and/or fiscal activities that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.
