EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Members of the Board of Supervisors have the opportunity at each Board meeting to request items for future agendas. Because the specific topic requested was not on the agenda, the remaining Board members do not have the opportunity to discuss these requests at this time due to the Brown Act. Four requests have been made for Board consideration.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The proposed action is not a project as defined by 14 California Code of Regulations 15378 (State CEQA Guidelines) and therefore CEQA is not applicable.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
To ensure requests for future agenda items are addressed in a timely manner, and all Board members can provide feedback before significant County resources are invested in these requests, staff is asking the Board for direction on the following requests made at prior Board meetings.
1. Students with Napa Schools for Climate Change request the opportunity to present information to the Board and public during a board meeting in March. No staff time is anticipated beyond correspondence to coordinate a meeting date and time.
2. Staff time to develop a presentation covering how pandemic funds have been utilized and braided into/with existing and new Homeless Services funding to improve diversion and housing services for individuals at risk of or experiencing homelessness would take approximately 8-10 hours for fiscal analysis and presentation development. All Home does not have any information on how County funds were utilized. Additional coordination with All Home to present how funding could be spent moving forward would be another 5+ hours of coordination by County staff.
3. BCDC representatives request the opportunity to present Bay Adapt information to the Board and public during a board meeting in March. If the Board determines to move forward with Bay Adapt it is likely there would be significant investment of staff time. For the presentation, no staff time is anticipated beyond correspondence to coordinate a meeting date and time.
4. California Medical Services Program representatives request the opportunity to present information to the Board and public during a board meeting in March. No staff time is anticipated beyond correspondence to coordinate a meeting date and time.
Staff is currently preparing presentations for two requested agenda items - budget priorities and Fire ad hoc committee revenue source - for March 2022.
Today's action is to provide an opportunity for the Board to discuss the requests and provide direction to staff.
