Title
Consider recommendations regarding the Food Bank of Santa Barbara County Mobile Food Program (MFP) Agreement, as follows:
a) Approve and authorize the Public Health Department Director to execute an agreement between the Food Bank of Santa Barbara County as the Eligible Recipient Agency (ERA) and the County of Santa Barbara as the Sub-Distributing Agency (SDA) to allow the distribution of United States Department of Agriculture donated food under the Emergency Food Assistance Program through the Food Bank’s Mobile Food Distribution program. Per Title 7 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Section 251.2(c)(2) the Agreement is, and must be, permanent; however, either party can cancel the Agreement upon a 30-day notice;
b) Approve and authorize the Public Health Department Director to execute the MFP Agreement with the Food Bank of Santa Barbara County setting forth the responsibilities of each agency in conjunction with the SDA Agreement;
c) Approve and authorize the Public Health Department Director to make amendments as required by the SDA Agreement and Title 7 CFR Section 251.2, to make amendments to the MFP Agreement, and to execute any addendums to the SDA Agreement so long as such actions do not expand the scope or cost of the program, upon approval of the Auditor-Controller, County Counsel, and Risk Management, unless otherwise directed by the Board; and
d) Determine that the proposed actions do not constitute a “Project” within the meaning of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to Section 15378(b)(4) of the CEQA Guidelines, because they consist of the creation 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 impact on the environment.
