Title
Consider recommendations regarding an Agreement for Services of Independent Contractor with PATH for Transitional Housing and Ancillary Services for Fiscal Year 2023-2024, as follows:
a) Approve, ratify, and authorize the Chair to execute an Agreement for Services of Independent Contractor with PATH, a California nonprofit public benefit corporation (not a local vendor), for the provision of transitional housing and ancillary services for a maximum contract amount not to exceed $335,008.00 for the period of July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024;
b) Delegate to the Director of the Department of Behavioral Wellness or designee the authority to suspend, delay, or interrupt the services under the Agreement for convenience and make immaterial changes to the Agreement per Sections 20 and 26 of the Agreement, respectively; reallocate funds between funding sources per Exhibit B-1; and amend the program goals, outcomes, and measures per Exhibits E, all without altering the maximum contract amount and without requiring the Board’s approval of an amendment of the Agreement, subject to the Board’s ability to rescind this delegated authority at any time; and
c) Determine that the above actions are government fiscal activities or funding mechanisms, which do not involve any commitment to any specific project that may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment, and are therefore not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15378(b)(4) of the CEQA Guidelines.
