Title
Consider recommendations regarding the Approval of Subrecipient Agreements with Good Samaritan Shelter using Round 2 California Encampment Resolution Funding (CERF-2) for Interim Housing, as follows:
a) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute a subrecipient agreement with Good Samaritan Shelter, using CERF-2 funds for a total contract maximum amount not to exceed $273,750.00, to provide 10 dedicated beds for interim housing at the Santa Maria Emergency Shelter for persons living in encampments near waterways, subject to annual appropriations and budget approval;
b) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute a subrecipient agreement with Good Samaritan Shelter, using CERF-2 funds for a total contract maximum amount not to exceed $273,750.00, to provide 10 dedicated beds for interim housing at the Rainbow Village Interim Supportive Temporary Emergency Housing in Lompoc for persons living in encampments near waterways, subject to annual appropriations and budget approval; and
c) Determine that the above-recommended actions are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4) as the actions involve the creation of government funding mechanisms or other government fiscal activities which do not involve a commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.
