a) Approve, ratify, and authorize the Director of the Department of Behavioral Wellness or designee to execute an MOU with CalMHSA and the California DSH regarding County use of state hospital beds, for the period of October 1, 2023, through June 30, 2025;
b) Approve, ratify, and authorize the Chair to execute the CalMHSA State Hospitals Program Participation Agreement No. 4640-SHB-2023-SB for an estimated administrative fee of $25,236.00 (inclusive of $12,618.00 per FY) based on the current allocation of nine beds to the County, for the period of July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2025; 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 organizational or administrative activities of the government that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment and are therefore not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15378(b)(4) and (b)(5) of the CEQA Guidelines.
