a) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute the first amendment for Services of Independent Contractor with Family Care Network, Inc, a local vendor, for the purpose of Transitional Housing Program-Plus services for emancipated foster or probation youth, for a total contract amount not to exceed $650,000.00 ($250,000.00 for Fiscal Year (FY) 2016-2017, $200,000.00 for FY 2017-2018, and $200,000.00 for FY 2018-2019) for the period of July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2019; and
b) Determine that the approval and execution of the Amendment is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), finding that the approval and execution of the Amendment is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment, and where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity may have a significant effect on the environment, the activities are not subject to CEQA.
