TITLE: AGREEMENT FOR SERVICES WITH JAYSON F. CARDINALLI, AN INDIVIDUAL DOING BUSINESS AS CLEAN BROTHERS FOR FY 2021-2022 RECOMMENDED MOTION:
A motion to approve a resolution for an Agreement for Services with Jayson F. Cardinalli, an individual doing business as Clean Brothers.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Community Development Department (CDD) recommends that City Council approve an Agreement for Services with Jayson F. Cardinalli, an individual doing business as Clean Brothers in an amount not to exceed $100,000.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Clean Brothers has been providing portable toilets with attached hand wash stations at homeless encampments City-wide since the COVID-19 pandemic started in March 2020. These services provide basic sanitation needs to the unsheltered residents of Salinas who do not have regular access to restroom facilities. This is a health and safety recommendation provided by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) to reduce the spread of COVID-19. The City of Salinas Housing and Community Development Division is requesting to enter an Agreement for Services to continue this service up to June 30, 2022.
BACKGROUND:
Homelessness is a serious and ongoing problem in the City of Salinas (City) and throughout the County of Monterey (County) and requires support among the City and County for the preservation of public peace, health, and safety of our community. The City has taken dramatic measures to allocate funding and resources toward the issue of homelessness. Through outreach from the Salinas Outreach and Response Team (SORT), 7-9 encampments were identified to need basic sanitation services. As of December 31, 2021, the city had an agreement with Clean Brothers to provide 10 portable toilets and washing stations servicing different homeless encampments throughout the City.
The proposed Agreement for Services will continue to provide these basic sanitation needs through June 30, 2022, starting retroactive payment from January 1, 2022. Funding for this agreement will be from the United States Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Emergency Solutions Grant Cares Act (ESG-CV) grant. Funding was approved by City Council on June 23, 2020 through a Substantial Amendment to the FY 2019-2020 Annual Action Plan.
The City has been working with the Monterey County Health Department to enter into an agreement for additional Whole Person Care (WPC) funding. Through this WPC agreement, the County may reimburse up to $100,000 in sanitation expenses from Clean Brothers.
CEQA CONSIDERATION:
The City of Salinas has determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per Guidelines Section 15378. CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 includes the general rule that CEQA applies only to activities which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Because the proposed action and this matter have no potential to cause any effect on the environment, or because it falls within a category of activities excluded as projects pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378, this matter is not a project. Because the matter does not cause a direct or foreseeable indirect physical change on or in the environment, this matter is not a project. Any subsequent discretionary projects resulting from this action will be assessed for CEQA applicability.
