Title
Consider recommendations regarding the adoption of a Resolution Authorizing the Chief Probation Officer to Apply for Juvenile Accountability Block Grant Funding from the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2014-2015, as follows:
a) Adopt a Resolution that authorizes the Chief Probation Officer or designee to:
i) Submit a completed application for Juvenile Accountability Block Grant (JABG) funding in the amount of $26,784.00 for the period July 1, 2014, to June 30, 2015 to the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) in a form substantially similar to the template application; and
ii) Execute the Grant Agreement with the BSCC in a form substantially similar to the standard grant agreement that was used for FY 2013-2014 and upon review and approval of the County Counsel, Auditor-Controller, and Risk Manager or their designees if the JABG funding is awarded; and
b) Determine that the adoption of the Resolution is not the 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 adoption of the Resolution is not a project as it is the 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 impact on the environment, and direct staff to file the Notice of Exemption.
