Title
Consider recommendations regarding Emergency COVID-19 Shelter Contracts with Good Samaritan and People Assisting The Homeless (PATH), as follows:
a) Approve and ratify Unified Command’s execution of the professional services agreements with the following providers in the specified amounts:
i) $120,000.00 to Good Samaritan Shelter for Emergency Shelter operations at the North County Santa Maria High School; and
ii) $37,000.00 to PATH for shelter support at the South County Non-Congregate Shelter;
b) Determine that Emergency Exemption 14 CCR 15269(c) is applicable as these contracts were necessary to prevent or mitigate an emergency; and
c) Determine that the recommended actions are not the acceptance and approval of a project that is subject to environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4), finding that the project is a 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 physical impact on the environment.
