a) Approve recommended grant award recipients and authorize the disbursement of allocated funds in the total amount of $500,000.00 to selected recipients for the FY 2025-2026 OUR SBC Community Partner Grant Awards for the grant period starting September 15, 2025, and not to extend beyond August 31, 2027;
b) Approve and authorize the Director of the County Health Department, or designee, to execute Grantee Award Agreements with the FY 2025-2026 OUR SBC Community Partner Grant recipients;
c) Authorize the Director of the County Health Department, or designee, to execute future no cost amendments or modifications to the scope of work upon review and approval of County Counsel, Auditor-Controller, and Risk Management, subject to the Board’s ability to rescind this delegated authority at any time; and
d) Determine that the recommended actions are not a “Project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and are exempt per CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(5), because the recommended actions consist of organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes to the environment.
