Title
Consider recommendations regarding a proposal for Department of State Hospitals (DSH) Incompetent to Stand Trial (IST), as follows:
a) Authorize the County Executive Officer, or designee, to submit a proposal for a DSH-IST Diversion Infrastructure Grant, including the following items:
i) Enter into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with Good Samaritan Shelter, in a form substantially similar to that which is included as Attachment A in the Board Letter, to collaborate with respect to a DSH-IST Diversion Infrastructure Grant proposal; and
ii) Execute a letter of support for the County’s proposal, in a form substantially similar to that which is included as Attachment B in the Board Letter; and
b) Determine that the above actions are not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), because pursuant to Sections 15378(b)(4) and 15378(b)(5) the recommended actions consist of organizational, administrative, or fiscal activities of government that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.
