a) Adopt a Resolution authorizing the District Attorney to submit an application, and if awarded, execute the Grant Award Agreement and accept anticipated funding with the Cal OES Human Trafficking Advocacy Program for the award period of January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025, up to a maximum grant award amount of $147,000.00, subject to the approval and concurrence of Risk Management, Auditor Controller, and County Counsel;
b) Approve and authorize the District Attorney to execute a Certification of Assurance of Compliance for the District Attorney’s grant application for the Cal OES Human Trafficking Advocacy Program;
c) Approve and authorize the District Attorney to execute any amendments to the Grant Agreement extending the term thereof through June 30, 2026, or for a supplemental grant award in the amount not to exceed $50,000.00, with the concurrence of County Counsel, Risk Management and Auditor-Controller; and
d) Determine that the above recommended actions are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4), since they consist 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.
