City Council

8D. Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Encinitas and San Diego Rescue Mission (SDRM) to allow SDRM to issue rental assistance checks for qualified persons experiencing homelessness in the Encinitas community. Environmental Considerations: The action being considered by the City Council is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a "project" under Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because 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 action is also exempt from CEQA under Section 15378(b)(5) of the CEQA Guidelines because it involves an organizational or administrative activity of government that will not result in the direct or indirect physical change in the environment. Contact Persons: Homeless Programs Coordinator Pugh and Planning Manager Anders Recommended Action: Authorize the City Manager, in coordination with the City Attorney, to execute the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in substantial form, between the City of Encinitas and San Diego Rescue Mission (SDRM) to allow SDRM to issue rental assistance checks for qualified persons experiencing homelessness. The City would reimburse SDRM and no additional funds would be added to their existing contract. 2026-03-25 Item 08D San Diego Rescue Mission
