Consider recommendations regarding revisions to the Encampment Response Protocol, as follows: a) Approve and adopt the following revisions to the Encampment Response Protocol; i) Remove the requirement to identify or provide alternative shelter before posting notices referencing the potential for enforcement of applicable County ordinances to clear an encampment in any waterway or other areas where it presents a threat to public health and safety; ii) Reduce, from 72 hours to 48 hours, the period of time during which notices are required to be posted regarding the removal of personal property from unauthorized encampment sites in the enforcement of applicable County ordinances; and iii) Reduce, from 90 days to 60 days, the duration of the County’s commitment to store personal property removed from unauthorized encampment sites in the enforcement of applicable County ordinances; and b) Determine that the approval of the recommended actions is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4) since the recommended actions are government fiscal activities which do not involve commitment to any specific project which may result in potentially significant physical impact on the environment.
