Title
Consider recommendations regarding Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) Authorization, as follows:
a) Adopt a Resolution authorizing the County Executive Officer, or designee to apply for and enter into a contract to accept the Fiscal Year 2018-2019 EMPG with the California Office of Emergency Services in the approximate amount of $216,500.00 to provide grant funding for emergency management activities in the Santa Barbara Operational Area;
b) Direct staff to return to the Board with the grant as part of the Office of Emergency Management’s budget and work program request if the grant is awarded; and
c) Determine that the proposed action is related to the creation of a government funding mechanism and other fiscal activities which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment, and is therefore exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guideline section 15378 (b)(4).
