Title
Consider recommendations regarding the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) County Victim Services Program (XC) Grant Award, as follows:
a) Adopt a Resolution authorizing the District Attorney to submit an application, and if awarded, execute the Grant Award Agreement and accept anticipated funding with the Cal OES County Victim Services Program for the award period of January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024, up to a maximum grant award amount of $233,304.00, subject to the approval and concurrence of Risk Management, Auditor Controller, and County Counsel;
b) Approve and authorize the Chair and the District Attorney to execute a Certification of Assurance of Compliance for the District Attorney’s grant application for the Cal OES County Victim Services Program;
c) Approve and authorize the District Attorney to execute any amendments to the Grant Agreement extending the term thereof through June 30, 2025, or for a supplemental grant award in an amount not to exceed $50,000.00, with the concurrence of County Counsel, Risk Management and Auditor-Controller; and
d) Determine that the above recommended actions are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4), since they consist 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, and approve the filing of a Notice of Exemption on that basis.
