a) Approve, ratify, and authorize the Chair to execute an Acceptance of Award EPCF-4223 for the TB Control Program with the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) TB Control Branch to enhance the capabilities of TB prevention and control activities in Santa Barbara County. This award in the amount of $10,000.00 for FY 2023-2024 is a one-time grant and is comprised of federal funds only with a period of performance from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024;
b) Approve Budget Revision Request BJE Number 0009257 to amend the Public Health Department’s FY 2023-2024 Budget to add $10,000.00 in new revenue and appropriation to be spent during the period of July 2023 through June 2024; and
c) Determine that these activities are not a project and are exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review per CEQA Guideline Section 15378(b)(4), since the recommended actions are government fiscal activities which do not involve commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.
