Title
Consider recommendations regarding acceptance of the Federal Sub-Grant Award for Hazardous Materials Emergency Preparedness (HMEP) Planning, as follows: (4/5 Vote Required)
a) Approve and authorize the Director of Environmental Health Services to accept a federally-funded sub-grant (HMEP Grant Award Face Sheet) through the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services for the period October 15, 2014 through September 15, 2015 in the amount of $20,000.00 for Hazardous Materials Emergency Preparedness (HMEP) Planning;
b) Approve Budget Revision Request No. 0003687 reflecting $20,000.00 of unanticipated revenue from the Office of Emergency Services and increasing Services and Supplies in the County's financial system; and
c) Determine that these activities are exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review per CEQA Guideline Section 15378(b)(4), since the recommended actions are government fiscal activities which do not involve commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment, and direct staff to file a Notice of CEQA Exemption.
