Title
Consider recommendations regarding the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) Victim/Witness (VW) Program Grant Award, Subaward VW23 42 0420, as follows:
a) Adopt a Resolution approving, ratifying, and authorizing the District Attorney to execute a Grant Agreement with Cal OES accepting the VW Program grant award (VW23 42 0420) for the award period of October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024 in the amount of $751,616.00;
b) Approve and authorize the District Attorney to execute any amendments to the Grant Agreement extending the term thereof through March 31, 2025, or for a supplemental grant award in an amount not to exceed $100,000.00, with the concurrence of County Counsel, Risk Management and Auditor-Controller; and
c) 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.
