Title
Consider recommendations regarding Behavioral Wellness Fiscal Year (FY) 2016-2019 Shelter Beds, as follows:
a) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute an Agreement for Services of Independent Contractor with Salvation Army (a local vendor), for the provisions of alcohol and drug free housing and hospitality shelter beds, for a total Contract amount not to exceed $341,100.00 for the period of July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2019;
b) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute an Agreement for Services of Independent Contractor with People Assisting the Homeless (PATH) (a local vendor), for the provisions of shelter beds for Behavioral Wellness mental health clients, for a total Contract amount not to exceed $289,080.00 for the period of July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017; and
c) Determine that these activities are exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review per CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5) since the recommended actions are government administrative activities which do not involve commitment to any specific project which may result in potentially significant physical impact on the environment.
