Title
Consider recommendations regarding California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) Electronic Suspected Child Abuse Reporting System Program (E-SCARS) Grant Award, as follows: (4/5 Vote Required)
a) Adopt a Resolution approving, ratifying, and authorizing the District Attorney to execute a Grant Agreement with Cal OES accepting the E-SCARS grant award for the current award period of January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2018 in the amount of $300,000.00. The District Attorney will return to the Board to accept the subsequent grant award allocations which total $450,000.00;
b) Approve Budget Revision Request No. 0006009 to increase appropriations in the amount of $300,000.00 in District Attorney’s Office General Fund for Salaries and Employee Benefits ($158,428.00), Services and Supplies ($26,572.00), and Capital Assets ($115,000.00) funded by unanticipated revenue from Intergovernmental Revenue-Federal;
c) Adopt the Salary Resolution effective October 22, 2018, adding one (1.0 FTE) EDP Systems and Programming Analyst Senior position to the District Attorney’s Office, which will be fully-funded by the E-SCARS grant; and
d) Determine that the above action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4), because it consists 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 approve the filing of a Notice of Exemption on that basis.
