Title
Consider recommendations regarding a March 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024 Agreement with the Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse (CADA) for Youth Empowerment Services (YES) and Substance Abuse Disorder (SUD) Counselling, as follows: (4/5 Vote Required)
a) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute the Agreement for Services of Independent Contractor with the CADA (a local vendor) to provide diversion services to youth in the community and their families countywide through the YES program, and SUD individual and group counseling to youth at the Juvenile Justice Center (JJC) with a total contract amount not to exceed $318,599.27 (Agreement) from March 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024;
b) Authorize the Chief Probation Officer or designee to approve subsequent line-item budget changes to the Agreement in an amount not to exceed 10% of the stated line-item budgeted amounts for each service, as long as the total contract amount of each Agreement is not increased, and as long as the total budgeted amounts by each funding source are not exceeded; and
c) 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.
