Consider recommendations regarding the use of Quimby Funds and Park Development Mitigation Funds in the amount of $47,000.00 to be used for the development of the Franklin Trail, First District, as follows: (4/5 Vote Required)
a) Authorize the use of Quimby funds from the South Coast East Quimby Fee Agency Fund (Fund 1399) in the amount of $38,998.00 and Park Development Mitigation funds from the South Coast East Development Mitigation Fund (Fund 1404) in the amount of $8,002.00 from South Coast East Recreational Demand Area for the grand total amount of $47,000.00 as County additional contribution towards development of the Franklin Trail;
b) Approve Budget Revision Request 0002940 in the amount of $47,000.00;
c) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute a First Amendment to the Agreement between the County of Santa Barbara and the Land Trust for Santa Barbara County for Construction of the Franklin Trail (First Amendment) to increase the amount of the County's allocation to the Land Trust for construction of the Franklin Trail project by $47,000.00 upon return of the Land Trust's execution of the First Amendment and the review and concurrence of County Counsel, Auditor-Controller and Risk Manager or their designees for a total amended amount of $122,000.00; and
d) Find that pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15162, no substantial changes are proposed, and no new information of substantial importance has come to light regarding environmental effects of the project or of the sufficiency or feasibility of mitigation measures, and therefore these actions are within the scope of the Franklin Trail project covered by the Mitigated Negative Declaration (12NGD-00000-00003) approved and adopted by the Board for the Franklin Trail project on March 13, 2012, and that therefore no new environmental document is required.
