Title
Consider recommendations regarding a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the City of Carpinteria to accept annual funding for the 211 Helpline Service, as follows:
a) Approve, ratify, and authorize the Social Services Director or designee, to execute the MOU to receive $3,565.00 annual funding from the City of Carpinteria for the 211 Helpline Service, (retroactively for Fiscal Year [FY] 2024-2025), through FY 2026-2027;
b) Delegate authority to the Director of Social Services, or designee, to execute renewals of the MOU to receive annual funding from the City of Carpinteria provided that Social Services obtains concurrence from County Counsel and Auditor-Controller; and
c) Determine that the activity is not a “Project” subject to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review per CEQA Guideline Section 15378(b)(5), since the activity is an organizational or administrative activity of government that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.
