Title
Consider recommendations regarding an agreement and a Resolution for the transfer of records to the Regents of the University of California for the purpose of preserving these records, as follows:
a) Approve an Agreement with the Regents of the University of California enabling the transfer of Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors’ Minute Books to the Special Collections Library at the University of California at Santa Barbara, for the purpose of preserving these records;
b) Adopt a Resolution authorizing the transfer of Santa Barbara County historical records inclusive of Minute Books of the Board of Supervisors dating from November 18, 1850 to April 4, 1977, to the Regents of the University of California, for the purpose of preserving these records;
c) Find that the above action is in the best interest of the County, and does not amount to a gift of public funds prohibited by the California Constitution, because it serves public purposes which include preservation and access to public records; and
d) Determine that the proposed action is not a “project” under the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), as it is a governmental administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect changes in the environment.
