Consider recommendations regarding a Second Amendment to the Department of State Hospitals (DSH) Pre-Trial Felony Mental Health Diversion Program Grant Agreement for Fiscal Years (FYs) 2020-2025, as follows:
a) Approve, ratify, and authorize the County Executive Officer, or designee, to execute the Second Amendment to the multi-year Grant Agreement with the DSH, Agreement No. 19-79011-000 A2, to increase the number of Pre-Trial Jail Felony Mental Health Diversion Program clients by six (6), expanding the client caseload from 22 to 28; modify client eligibility and housing funding distribution requirements; and increase the agreement amount by $852,000.00, for a total grant amount of $5,714,500.00, for the period of January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2024;
b) Approve and authorize the Chair to delegate to the County Executive Officer, or designee, to accept subsequent reports pursuant to Exhibit A, Section 6.D of the DSH Grant Agreement No. 19-79011-000 A2 and make immaterial amendments that do not change the amount or substantive terms of the DSH Grant Agreement; 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.
