Title
Consider recommendations regarding State general fund allocation from the California Natural Resources Agency, Fiscal Year 2021-2022 for the Foothills Forever Project, as follows:
a) Adopt a Resolution authorizing the County Executive Officer or designee to submit a Project Information Package for acceptance of a State General Fund appropriation included in the Budget Act of 2021, in the amount of $3,000,000.00 for the Foothills Forever Project, to be allocated by the California Natural Resources Agency;
b) Authorize the County Executive Officer or designee, to execute all certifications, standard forms, and other documents required to complete the Project Information Package, and to execute a grant agreement for the project with the California Natural Resources Agency in a form substantially similar to that included in the Project Information Package, subject to concurrence by Auditor-Controller, County Counsel and Risk Management; and
c) Determine that the above actions are not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), because pursuant to sections 15378(b)(4) and 15378(b)(5) the recommended actions consist of organization, administrative, or fiscal activities of government that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.
