Title
Consider recommendations regarding the State of California Department of State Hospitals (DSH) Authorizing Resolution and Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) for Good Samaritan Shelter’s (GSS) Life House II (Project) in Northern Santa Barbara County, as follows:
a) Approve and authorize the Chair of the Board to execute a DSH Authorizing Resolution enabling the County of Santa Barbara to submit a Program Funding Agreement to DSH to participate in the Incompetent to Stand Trial (IST) Diversion and Community-Based Restoration Infrastructure Program;
b) Approve and authorize the County Executive Officer, or designee, to enter and execute an MOA with GSS for purposes of GSS submitting to DSH a project application for Infrastructure IST Diversion and Community-Based Restoration Infrastructure Program (IST Program) funding; and
c) 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 indirect or indirect physical changes in the environment.
