Title
Consider recommendations regarding California Victim Compensation Board Criminal Restitution Compact Grant, Fiscal Years 2023-2026, as follows:
a) Adopt a Resolution approving, ratifying, and authorizing the District Attorney to execute a Grant Agreement with the California Victim Compensation Board (CalVCB) to accept and expend the Criminal Restitution Compact grant for the period of July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2026, in the amount of $297,792.00, or $99,264.00 per Fiscal Year;
b) Approve and authorize the District Attorney or designee to execute any amendments to the Grant Agreement extending the term thereof through December 30, 2026, or for a supplemental grant award in the amount not to exceed $50,000.00 annually, with the concurrence of County Counsel and the Auditor-Controller; and
c) Determine that the above action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4), because it consists 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.
