Title
Consider recommendations regarding the Shelter Operations General Fund Grant Agreements for Casa Esperanza Homeless Center and Good Samaritan Shelter, as follows:
a) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute a Shelter Operations General Fund Grant Agreement with Casa Esperanza Homeless Center to support and maintain existing service levels for the Casa Esperanza homeless shelter for the period of July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013 in an amount not to exceed $140,330.00;
b) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute a Shelter Operations General Fund Grant Agreement with Good Samaritan Shelter to support and maintain existing service levels for Good Samaritan homeless shelter for the period of July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013 in an amount not to exceed $159,670.00;
c) Determine that the approvals and execution of the Shelter Operations General Fund Grant Agreements are not the approvals of projects that are 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; and
d) Direct staff to file a Notice of Exemption.
