Title
Consider recommendations regarding a Contract with Good Samaritan Shelter for Mental Health Navigator Services, as follows:
a) Approve, ratify, and authorize the Chair to execute the Agreement for Services of Independent Contractor with Good Samaritan Shelter (a local vendor), to provide a Mental Health Navigator, who will assist in the pre-planning for pretrial release, coordinate services upon release, and support individuals with mental health issues released into the community while pending court proceedings beginning June 1, 2020 through December 2021, with a total contract amount not to exceed $240,000.00;
b) Authorize the Chief Probation Officer or designee to approve subsequent line-item budget changes to Attachment B-1 of the Agreement in an amount not to exceed 10% of the stated line-item budgeted amounts for the service, as long as the total contract amount of the Agreement is not increased, and as long as the total budgeted amounts by the funding source are not exceeded; and
c) Determine that the above actions are government fiscal activities of funding mechanisms which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which 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.
