Consider recommendations regarding First Amendments to agreements with Good Samaritan Shelter, as follows:
a) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute a First Amendment to the Agreement for Services of Independent Contractor with Good Samaritan Shelter in the amount not to exceed $250,000.00 to provide Alcohol and Drug Treatment Services to Child Welfare Services (CWS) clients for the period of July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018;
b) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute a First Amendment to the Agreement for Services of Independent Contractor with Good Samaritan Shelter in the amount not to exceed $60,000.00 to provide Parent Partner Program services for the period of July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018;
c) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute a First Amendment to the Agreement for Services of Independent Contractor with Good Samaritan Shelter in the amount not to exceed $20,000.00 to provide Welfare-to-Work (WTW) Emergency Shelter Care and Family Advocacy Services (FAS)/Family Stabilization (FS) services for the period of July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018; and
d) Determine that the approval and execution of these First Amendments are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), finding that the approval and execution of these First Amendments 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.
