c) Delegate to the Director of the Department of Behavioral Wellness, or designee, the authority to take the following actions regarding both Agreements without needing to return to the Board of Supervisors for formal amendment of the Agreements and subject to the Board’s authority to rescind this delegated authority at any time: to make immaterial changes to the terms of the Agreements; to amend program staffing requirements; to amend the program goals, outcomes, and measures in Exhibit Es; to adjust program staff hours of operation and coverage; to reallocate funds between funding sources during the term of the Agreements and in the year end cost settlement; and to waive the County Maximum Allowable rate for pre-audit cost report settlement purposes, without changing the Maximum Contract Amounts; and
d) Determine that the above actions are government fiscal activities or funding mechanisms, which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment and are therefore not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to section 15378(b)(4) of the CEQA Guidelines.
