Title
Consider recommendations regarding the issuance of awards for the Community Recidivism and Crime Reduction Services Grant Program, as follows: (4/5 Vote required)
a) Approve the recommendations of the Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) to award the Board of State and Community Corrections' (BSCC) Community Recidivism and Crime Reduction Services Grant Program funds;
b) Approve Budget Revision Request No. 0003831 to establish appropriations of $100,000.00 in the Probation Department, General Fund, for Services and Supplies ($16,500.00) and an increase to Restricted Fund Balance ($83,5000.00), funded by unanticipated revenue from the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC); and
c) Determine that approval of the Community Recidivism and Crime Reduction Services Grant Program Request for Proposals (RFP) 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 actions are not a project as they are 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 a Notice of Exemption.
