Title
Consider recommendations regarding approval for the County of Santa Barbara to participate in the Pet Assistance and Support (PAS) Program Grant, as follows:
a) Approve, ratify and authorize the County to submit an application for the PAS grant funds from the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development, in an amount not to exceed $200,000.00, for crates, pet food, veterinary services, staffing, and administrative services for use at a Navigation Respite Center that Behavioral Wellness is currently developing;
b) Adopt a Resolution that authorizes the County to participate in the PAS Program; and if funds are awarded, authorizes and directs the Department of Behavioral Wellness to act on behalf of the County in connection with the award of PAS grant funds subject to final approval by the Board; and
c) Determine that the recommended actions are not the approval of a project that is subject to environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5) and 15378(b)(4), finding that the recommended actions consist of administrative or fiscal activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.
