a) Approve and authorize the Community Services Director or designee, acting on behalf of the County of Santa Barbara, to execute an agreement with the California Arts Council to receive funding in the amount of $4,750,000.00 for the period of October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2024 for the Santa Barbara County Office of Arts and Culture to serve as the administering organization for the CCC Central Coast region’s regranting program;
b) Approve the Budget Revision Request No. 0008516 necessary to adjust appropriations for unanticipated $4,750,000.00 grant revenue; and
