i) $280,000.00 to Good Samaritan Shelter for the Emergency Shelter and Rapid Re-housing project;

iv) $110,000.00 to People Assisting the Homeless (PATH) Santa Barbara for the PATH Santa Barbara Street Outreach and Emergency Shelter project; and
b) Determine that the recommended actions are not the acceptance and 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 project is a 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 physical impact on the environment, and direct staff to file a Notice of Exemption.
