Consider recommendations regarding the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) Child Advocacy Center Program Grant Program, Subaward No. KC23 02 0420, as follows:
a) Adopt a Resolution authorizing the District Attorney to submit an application, and if awarded, execute the Grant Award Agreement to accept anticipated funding with Cal OES Child Advocacy Center (KC) Program for the award period of April 1, 2024 through March 31, 2025, up to a maximum grant award amount of $200,000.00, subject to the approval and concurrence of Risk Management, Auditor-Controller, and County Counsel;
b) Approve and authorize the Chair and the District Attorney to execute a Certification of Assurance of Compliance for the District Attorney’s grant application for the Cal OES Child Advocacy Center Program;
c) Approve and authorize the District Attorney to execute any amendments to the Grant Agreement extending the term thereof through September 30, 2025, or for a supplemental grant award in the amount not to exceed $50,000.00, with the concurrence of County Counsel, Auditor-Controller and Risk Management; and
d) Determine that the above recommended actions are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4), since they consist of government funding mechanisms or other government fiscal activities, which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment, and approve the filing of a Notice of Exemption on that basis.
