County programs, County staff updates and achievements, staff recognitions, updates on major

projects, updates on state and federal legislation, and upcoming events of interest to the Board and

Barbara has been awarded a $6,000,000.00 grant from the State to move people

out of the encampments and into housing. The grant will be used to prioritize

serving 250 people located in encampments along state right of ways and

waterways. This includes the Santa Maria riverbed, the Santa Ynez riverbed, and

encampments near creeks leading to south coast beaches.

Administrative Items

A-1)

PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT

23-00565

Consider recommendations regarding a Second Reading to repeal and replace Chapter 5

Ambulances of the Santa Barbara County Code, as follows:

a) Consider the adoption (Second Reading) of an Ordinance repealing and replacing Chapter 5

Ambulances of the Santa Barbara County Code as revised by the Board on June 6, 2023, to enact

policies and regulations for permitting and regulating the provision of non-exclusive ambulance

services within Santa Barbara County as set forth above; and

b) Determine that the proposed action does not constitute a “Project” within the meaning of

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to Section 15378(b)(5) of the CEQA

Guidelines, because it consists of an organizational or administrative activity of government which

will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.

this matter be acted on as follows:
