Consider recommendations regarding Agreements with the Immigrant Legal Defense Center, as follows:
a) Approve and authorize the Chair, pursuant to the Human Services Commission (HSC) funding recommendations approved by the Board on May 13, 2025, to execute an Agreement in the amount of $105,000.00 between the county and the Santa Barbara County Immigrant Legal Defense Center (ILDC) for Immigrant Youth Legal and Support Services (HSGF Agreement);
b) Approve and authorize the Chair, pursuant to the budget actions by the Board on June 17, 2025, to execute an Agreement in the amount of $240,000.00 between the county and ILDC for Mental Health Services (CGF Agreement);
c) Authorize the Director of the County’s Community Services Department to approve and execute amendments to the HSGF Agreement and CGF Agreement to make changes to the budgets attached thereto, provided that:
i) Such changes shall be limited to revisions to the amounts in each budget line item or addition of new Budget line items pertinent to the Scope of Services;
ii) Such changes shall not increase the Maximum Contract Amount; and
iii) The budget as amended shall only reflect expenditures that are eligible under the applicable Agreement; and
d) Determine that the above recommended actions are not the approval of projects that are subject to environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4), finding that the actions are not projects as they are the creation 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 impact on the environment.
