Title
Consider recommendations regarding the California Emergency Solutions and Housing Program (CESH) Application, as follows:
a) Authorize the Community Services Director or designee to submit a funding application in an amount not to exceed $600,000.00, and all certifications, standard forms, and other related documents to the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development for the CESH program competition;
b) Adopt a Resolution authorizing the acceptance and administration of CESH funds;
c) Authorize the Community Services Director or designee(s) to execute all certifications, standard forms, and grant agreement in a form substantially similar to the Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 State Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) program grant agreement and other related documents required for the acceptance and administration of CESH funds; and
d) Determine that the recommended actions are not the acceptance and approval of a project that is subject to environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4), finding that the project is a creation 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.
