Title
Consider recommendations regarding the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) Electronic Suspected Child Abuse Reporting System Program (E-SCARS) Grant Award, Subaward No. ES20 03 0420, as follows:
a) Adopt a Resolution approving, ratifying, and authorizing the District Attorney to execute a Grant Agreement with Cal OES accepting the E-SCARS grant award for the current award period of January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021 in the amount of $250,000.00;
b) Approve and authorize the District Attorney to execute any amendments to the Grant Agreement extending the term thereof through June 30, 2022, or for a supplemental grant award in the amount not to exceed $50,000.00, with the concurrence of County Counsel and Auditor-Controller; and
c) Determine that the above recommended actions are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4), since they consist 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, and approve the filing of a Notice of Exemption on that basis.
