Title
Consider recommendations regarding an update and Local Proclamation Ratification for the Passenger Vessel Conception Incident, as follows:
a) Receive an update on the Passenger Vessel Conception Incident;
b) Adopt a Resolution ratifying the Proclamation of a Local Emergency related to the Passenger Vessel Conception incident declared by the Director of Emergency Services on September 5, 2019 when the Board of Supervisors was not in session, pursuant to Government Code Section 8550 et. seq. and Chapter 12, Section 12-5(a) of the Santa Barbara County Code;
c) Direct the Office of Emergency Management to return within 60 days for re-ratification of the Emergency until such time that the response and recovery conditions dictate otherwise; and
d) Determine the above actions are not a “Project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to Section 15378(b)(5) of the CEQA Guidelines, because the actions consist of organizational or administrative activities of the government that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.
