Consider recommendations regarding approval of Sub-Recipient Agreements for additional Emergency Solutions Grant, Coronavirus (ESG-CV) funding for COVID-19 Homelessness Response, as follows:
a) Approve, ratify, and authorize the Chair to execute Subrecipient Agreements for Rapid Re-Housing using ESG-CV funds allocated through the State of California for continued COVID-19 homelessness response with the following subrecipients in the following amounts:
i) $243,038.00 to Good Samaritan Shelter (Good Samaritan); and
ii) $185,303.00 to New Beginnings Counseling Center (NBCC);
b) Authorize the Community Services Department Director, or designee, to approve and execute amendments to any of the Subrecipient Agreements identified in Recommended Action (a), above, to increase or decrease the total contract amount of any such Subrecipient Agreement to ensure full and timely expenditure of all awarded ESG-CV funds thereunder, provided that no such amendment to any Subrecipient Agreement shall increase the amount of funding provided thereunder by more than 10% of the original total contract amount; and
c) Determine that the above recommended actions do not constitute the approval of projects subject to environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4), finding that the projects are the creation 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.
