Title
Consider recommendations regarding the 2018 State of California Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) Program Funding Application, as follows:
a) Authorize the Community Services Director or designee to submit a funding application in an amount not to exceed $700,000.00, and all certifications, standard forms, and other related documents to the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development for the 2018 ESG program competition;
b) Adopt a Resolution authorizing the acceptance and administration of State ESG funds for 2018;
c) Authorize the County Executive Officer or her designee(s) to execute all certifications, standard forms, and grant agreement in a form substantially similar to the Fiscal Year 2017 grant agreement and other related documents required for the acceptance and administration of 2018 State ESG funds; and
d) 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.
