Title
Consider recommendations regarding a Resolution Approving the Application for Grant Funding under the Environmental Enhancement and Mitigation Program for the Rancho Guadalupe Dunes Habitat Enhancement Project, Fifth District, as follows:
a) Adopt and authorize the Chair to execute a Resolution authorizing the Public Works Director, or designee, to submit an application and supporting documents with the State of California to carry out the Rancho Guadalupe Dunes Habitat Enhancement Project through the Environmental Enhancement and Mitigation Program, with an anticipated award of $160,000.00;
b) Authorize the Public Works Director, or designee, (i) to execute an agreement in similar form to the Example Grant Award Agreement upon review and approval of County Counsel and the Auditor-Controller, or their designees, when the anticipated funding is awarded for the Environmental Enhancement and Mitigation Program grant, and (ii) to execute any additional documents required to obtain the award; and
c) Determine the above actions are not a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act guidelines pursuant to Section 15378(b)(4) and (b)(5) because these actions consist of governmental funding mechanisms and/or organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.
