Title
Consider recommendations regarding the Intergovernmental Transfer Agreement, Contract No. IGT-23-0033, regarding transfer of Public Funds with the California Department of Health Care Services, as follows:
a) Approve, ratify, and authorize the Chair to execute the Intergovernmental Transfer Agreement (Contract No. IGT-23-0033) regarding transfer of Public Funds with the California Department of Health Care Services for the transfer of approximately $705,560.00 from Public Health to the Department of Health Care Services with a term of January 1, 2023 through June 30, 2026;
b) Approve, ratify, and authorize the Public Health Department Director to execute the Intergovernmental Transfer Agreement with the Santa Barbara Medi-Cal Managed Care Plan for participation in an Intergovernmental Transfer to obtain federal financial participation leveraged on local dollars used for care provided to CenCal Health eligible patients with a term of January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2026; and
c) Determine that these activities are exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review as they are not a project under CEQA Guideline Section 15378(b)(4), since this is a government fiscal activity that does not involve commitment to any specific project that may result in a potentially significant impact on the environment.
