Title
Consider recommendations regarding a Resolution to Join the CalMHSA Joint Powers Authority, as follows:
a) Adopt a Resolution which authorizes the County to become a member of the California Mental Health Services Authority (CalMHSA), a Joint Powers Authority;
b) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute a Restated Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement for the California Mental Health Services Authority;
c) Authorize the ADMHS Director or designee to complete and execute the New Member Data Fee Form;
d) Designate the ADMHS Director to serve as a director on the Board of Directors of CalMHSA on behalf of the County;
e) Authorize the ADMHS Director to designate an alternate director to attend, participate in and vote at any meeting of the Board of Directors of CalMHSA when the ADMHS Director is absent; and
f) Determine that the recommended actions are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), finding that the activities are covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment, and where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activities in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activities are not subject to CEQA.
