Title
Consider recommendations regarding acceptance of SB 82 Investment in Mental Health Wellness Grant, as follows:
a) Adopt a Resolution which authorizes the interim Director of the Alcohol, Drug and Mental Health Services Department to accept grant funding awarded by the California Health Facilities Financing Authority (CHFFA) for the SB 82 Investment in Mental Health Wellness Grant Program for the period of April 24, 2014 through July 1, 2015, in an amount not to exceed $2,663,525.96;
b) Authorize General Services/Real Property to research the availability of appropriate properties for purchase or lease to facilitate the purpose of the CHFFA Grant, initiate discussions with owners and/or agents of those properties to determine terms and conditions of a prospective purchase, and return to the Board for approval prior to entering into any binding contractual commitments; and
c) Determine that the approval of the recommended actions is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), finding that the activities are covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment, and where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activities in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activities are not subject to CEQA.
