Title
Consider recommendations regarding Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) Authorization, as follows:
a) Approve, ratify, and authorize the County Executive Officer (CEO) to execute the Notification of Subrecipient Subaward Approval letter California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) ID No. 083-00000-00 to accept the FY 2020 EMPG Program in the amount of $216,467.00 with a period of performance from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2022;
b) Adopt a Resolution to appoint the CEO, the Director of Office of Emergency Management (OEM), and the CEO Business Manager to act as Authorized Agents to execute any actions necessary for each application and subaward under the EMPG with the Cal OES to provide grant funding for emergency management activities in the Santa Barbara Operational Area for the FYs 2020, 2021, and 2022, unless otherwise directed by the Board. The Resolution directs the Authorized Agents to, if applicable, make necessary Budget Revisions, and to receive Auditor-Controller, Risk Management, and County Counsel concurrence prior to executing grant agreements or memorandum of understanding; 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).
