a) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute an Agreement for Services of Independent Contractor with Satellite Tracking of People (STOP) to provide GPS equipment, monitoring, training, and support for the enhanced supervision of adult and juvenile offenders, with a total contract amount not to exceed $110,000.00 (the “Agreement”);
b) Authorize the Chief Probation Officer or designee to approve subsequent line-item budget changes to Attachment B-1 of the Agreement in an amount not to exceed 10% of the stated line-item budgeted amounts for the service, as long as the total contract amount of the Agreement is not increased; and
c) Determine that the approval of the Agreements are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guideline Section 15061(b)(3), finding that this activity is 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 this activity may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA, and direct staff to file a Notice of Exemption.
