Title
Consider recommendations regarding Voluntary Rate Range Program/Intergovernmental Transfer with the State Department of Health Care Services, as follows:
a) Approve, ratify, and authorize the Chair to execute the Intergovernmental Transfer Agreement (Contract No. IGT-22-0032) regarding transfer of Public Funds with the California Department of Health Care Services for the transfer of approximately $734,624.00 from Public Health to the Department of Health Care Services with a term of January 1, 2022 through June 30, 2025;
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, 2022 through December 31, 2025; 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.
