i) Submit a grant application and all required attachments, including the Local Match Fund Commitment Letter and supporting documentation to the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services for the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program No. DR-4382 in the Federal Share requested amount of $14,700,000.00;
ii) If awarded, to enter into a grant agreement and all subsequent amendments to the grant agreement for a period not to exceed 36 months from grant award and in an amount not to exceed $19,718,888.00; and
iii) Make any certifications and assurances that may be required by the grant agreement;
b) Approve and authorize the Public Works Director to sign the Local Match Fund Commitment Letter;
c) Direct the Clerk of Board to certify the attached “Designation of Subrecipient’s Agent Resolution” for the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program;
d) Direct District staff, in event of that the grant is awarded, to return to the Board of Directors to establish required budget appropriations; and
e) Find that the proposed action is an organizational or administrative activity related to the creation of a government funding mechanism which will not result in a direct or indirect physical change in the environment and does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment, and is therefore not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Guideline Section 15378 (b)(4) and (b)(5).
