Title
Consider recommendations regarding an Agreement Renewal with California Victim Compensation Board (CalVCB) to Provide Emergency Funds for Crime Victims; Agreement No. S26-036, as follows:
a) Adopt a Resolution approving, ratifying, and authorizing the District Attorney or designee to renew an Agreement with the CalVCB (Agreement No. S26-036) for CalVCB to reimburse the District Attorney’s expedited payments of funeral/burial expenses, crime scene clean-up expenses, and emergency domestic violence and sexual assault relocation expenses for the period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2029, in the amount of $65,000.00 annually for a total of up to $195,000.00 for the three-year period;
b) Approve and authorize the District Attorney or designee to execute any amendments to the Standard Agreement extending the term thereof through December 30, 2029, or for a supplemental grant award in the amount not to exceed $25,000.00 annually for a total of $270,000.00 for the three-year period, with the concurrence of County Counsel and the Auditor-Controller; and
c) Determine that the above recommended actions are not the approval of a project that is subject to environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4) because 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.
