Title
Consider recommendations regarding the Coastal Resource Enhancement Fund (CREF) Combined 2020-2021 Cycle, as follows:
a) Receive and file the annual CREF Status Report;
b) Direct staff to set aside $156,138.00 from both the 2020 and 2021 CREF fees (total of $312,276.00) for the Hollister Ranch Access Program and amend the CREF Guidelines for the purposes of documenting CREF fees set aside for the Hollister Ranch Access Program;
c) Direct staff to divide the remaining CREF fees for each year ($293,212.00) equally between the Fund Deferral Program for coastal acquisition ($146,606.00) and general allocation grants ($146,606.00);
d) Direct staff to commence a combined two-year 2020-2021 CREF cycle; and
e) Determine that receiving the annual CREF Status Report, allocating 2020 and 2021 CREF fees and updating CREF Guidelines are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Sections 15378(b)(5) of the State Guidelines.
