Consider recommendations regarding a Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians Agreement for Fiscal Years (FYs) 2022-2025 Regarding Santa Ynez Tribal Health Clinic (SYTHC) Services, as follows:
a) Approve, ratify, and authorize the Chair to execute an Agreement for Services of Independent Contractor with the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians on behalf of its SYTHC for Prevention and Early Intervention mental health services, for a total Maximum Contract Amount not to exceed $379,110.00 inclusive of $48,000.00 under Purchase Order CN2263 but which otherwise cancels, nullifies, and supersedes Purchase Order CN2263, for the period of July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2025;
b) Delegate to the Director of the Department of Behavioral Wellness or designee the authority to suspend, delay, or interrupt services under the Agreement for convenience per Section 20 of the Agreement; make immaterial changes to the Agreement per Section 26 of the Agreement; adjust the provisional rate per Exhibit B of the Agreement; approve in writing in the year end cost settlement that use of the County Maximum Allowable rate was waived for settlement purposes per Exhibit B of the Agreement; and amend the program goals, outcomes, and measures per Exhibit E of the Agreement, all without altering the Maximum Contract Amount and without requiring the Board’s approval of an amendment of the Agreement, subject to the Board’s ability to rescind this delegated authority at any time;
c) Provide other direction to staff on the Agreement and its terms as deemed appropriate; and
d) 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.
