(a) Upon appropriation by the Legislature, moneys may be available to the board for the purpose of awarding grants on a competitive basis to counties for the renovation, reconstruction, construction, completion of construction, and replacement of county juvenile facilities, and the performance of deferred maintenance on county juvenile facilities. However, deferred maintenance for facilities shall only include items with a useful life of at least 10 years.

(c) An application for funds shall be in the manner and form prescribed by the board and pursuant to recommendations of an allocation advisory committee appointed by the board. From these recommendations, an allocation plan shall be developed and adopted by the board. The allocation advisory committee shall convene upon notification by the board.
(d) Any application for funds shall include, but not be limited to, all of the following:
(1) Documentation of need for the project or projects.
(2) Adoption of a formal county plan to finance construction of the proposed project or projects.
(3) Submittal of a preliminary staffing plan for the project or projects.

(5) Documentation that the facilities will be safely staffed and operated in compliance with law, including applicable regulations of the board.
(e) The board shall not be deemed a responsible agency, as defined in Section 21069 of the Public Resources Code, or otherwise be subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (Division 13 (commencing with Section 21000) of the Public Resources Code) for any activities undertaken or funded pursuant to this title. This subdivision does not exempt any local agency from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act.
