Title
Consider recommendations regarding a Behavioral Wellness American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Mental Health Agreement with Lompoc Valley Community Healthcare Organization, Inc. Fiscal Years (FYs) 2022-2024, as follows:
a) Approve, ratify, and authorize the Chair to execute a multiyear Subrecipient Agreement for Services with Lompoc Valley Community Healthcare Organization, Inc., a California nonprofit corporation (a local vendor), for the provision of an ARPA-funded Community Action (Trained Community Gatekeepers) wellness program for a Maximum Contract Amount not to exceed $22,600.00, for the period of July 12, 2022 through October 31, 2023;
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 per Section 21 of the Agreement; make immaterial changes to the Agreement per Section 27 of the Agreement; make changes to the staffing levels per Exhibit A-1, Section 6; authorize additional services per Exhibit B-1, all without altering the Maximum Contract Amount and without requiring the Board’s approval of an amendment of the Agreement, subject to the Board’s authority to rescind this delegated authority at any time; and
c) Determine that the above actions are government funding mechanisms or other government fiscal activities, which do not involve any commitment to any specific project that may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment and are therefore not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to section 15378(b)(4) of the CEQA Guidelines.
