Consider recommendations regarding the implementation of Supportive Holistic Intervention for Early Legal Diversion (SHIELD) Program with Department of State Hospitals (DSH) Growth Cap Penalty Funds, as follows: a) Approve a Budget Revision Request (BJE) No. 0010787 to establish appropriations of $103,500.00 in the Public Defender’s Office Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-2026 Budget, funded by the return of FY 2022-2023 DSH Growth Cap penalty payment, to implement the SHIELD Program for FY 2025-2026 through FY 2027-2028; and b) Adopt an Amendment to the Salary Resolution to allocate one additional full-time (1.0 FTE) position to the Public Defender’s Office, effective September 15, 2025; and c) Determine that the above actions are government fiscal activities or funding mechanisms which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment and are therefore not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15378(b)(4) of the CEQA guidelines.
