Title
Consider recommendations regarding a recycled water user agreement between Laguna County Sanitation District and the County of Santa Barbara for the Northern Branch Jail Project, Third District, as follows:
Acting as the Board of Directors, Laguna County Sanitation District:
a) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute an agreement with the County of Santa Barbara to supply recycled water to the Northern Branch Jail Project; and
b) Find that the proposed action does not constitute a “Project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act, pursuant to 14 CCR 15378 (b)(5), in that it is a government administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect changes in the environment.
Acting as the Board of Supervisors:
c) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute an agreement with Laguna County Sanitation District to supply recycled water to the Northern Branch Jail Project; and
d) After considering the Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (SEIR), State Clearinghouse No. 2007111099, that the Board certified on March 11, 2008, the December 6, 2011 SEIR addendum, and the October 8, 2013 SEIR addendum, determine pursuant to 14 CCR Section 15162(a) that no subsequent EIR or Negative Declaration is required for this project because: i) No substantial changes are proposed in the project which require major revisions of the 2008 Final Subsequent EIR; ii) No substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which require major revisions of the 2008 Final Subsequent EIR; and iii) No new information of substantial importance concerning the project’s significant effects or mitigation measures, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time that the Final Subsequent EIR was certified in 2008, has been received.
