Title
Consider recommendations regarding Agreements with Community Action Commission (CAC) of Santa Barbara County and the Department of Social Services, as follows:
a) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute an Agreement for Services of Independent Contractor with CAC in the amount not to exceed $90,000.00, to provide Home Connection Finder (HCF) Services for the period of July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017;
b) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute an Agreement for Services of Independent Contractor with Community Action CAC in the amount not to exceed $98,000.00, to provide SafeCare Program Services for the period of July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017; and
c) Determine that the approvals and execution of the above Agreements are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), finding that the approvals and execution of the Agreements 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 activity may have a significant effect on the environment, the activities are not subject to CEQA.
