Title
Consider recommendations regarding an April 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024, Agreement with Fighting Back Santa Maria Valley (FBSMV) for conflict mediation, as follows:
a) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute the Agreement for Services of Independent Contractor with FBSMV (a local vendor) to provide conflict mediation services and interventions, and to teach coping skills and Social Emotional Learning (SEL) strategies to youth at the Juvenile Justice Center (JJC), with a total contract amount not to exceed $122,126.00;
b) Authorize the Chief Probation Officer or designee to approve subsequent line-item budget changes to the Agreement in an amount not to exceed 10% of the stated line-item budgeted amounts for each service, as long as the total contract amount of each Agreement is not increased, and as long as the total budgeted amounts by each funding source are not exceeded;
c) Delegate to the Chief Probation Officer or designee the authority to further amend the Agreement to make immaterial changes, authorize additional services, amend program staffing requirements, and adjust or waive the County Maximum Allowable rate, without requiring the Board's approval of such amendment(s) of the Agreement, subject to the Board's ability to rescind this delegated authority at any time, and provided that in no event shall any such amendment extend the term of the agreement; and
d) Determine that the above actions are government fiscal activities of funding mechanisms which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which 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.
