Title
Consider recommendations regarding an application for Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Treatment Drug Courts Grant, as follows:
a) Authorize the Chief Probation Officer to submit an application, execute the Grant Award Agreement, and accept anticipated funding in the amount of $325,000.00 per year for three years from the SAMHSA Treatment Drug Courts program; and
b) Determine that approval of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 SAMHSA Treatment Drug Courts program is not the approval of 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 not a project as they are the creation of government funding mechanisms or other government fiscal activities which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant impact on the environment, and direct staff to file the Notice of Exemption.
