2/10/04 4 1. SUBJECT: ACQUISITION OF A FIRE AND LIFE SAFETY HELICOPTER (DISTRICT: ALL)
OVERVIEW: On December 9, 2003 (7), at the request of Supervisor Roberts and Supervisor Horn, your Board directed the Chief Administrative Officer to explore the creation of a governing body that would oversee the operation of a fire and life safety helicopter. Your Board also directed the Chief Administrative Officer to explore funding options to acquire, staff and maintain a fire and life safety helicopter that would be permanently based in San Diego County.
If approved by your Board, the actions recommended in this letter would establish a five member governing body to oversee the operation of a fire and life safety helicopter to be permanently based in San Diego County. In addition, this governing body will advise your Board on all topics related to the fire and life safety helicopter, including type of helicopter to be acquired and funding mechanisms. It is also recommended that the County provide funding in the amount of $22,500 to the City of San Diego to pay for Phase II of the county-wide study to identify the needs of a regional fire-rescue helicopter program, as directed by the San Diego County Fire Chiefs Association. In addition, this letter recommends the establishment of appropriations in the amount of $3.5 million to cover the acquisition cost for the fire and life safety helicopter. Finally, it is recommended that the Chief Administrative Officer be directed to return to the Board with appropriate recommendations to acquire and operate a fire and life safety helicopter.
FISCAL IMPACT: A portion of the funds for this request ($22,500) is budgeted within the Public Safety Group Executive Office. The funds for the acquisition of the helicopter ($3.5 million) are not budgeted. If this request is approved, it will result in current year costs of $3,522,500 and annual operating costs estimated to be $2 million. The funding source for the operating costs has not yet been identified, but will be included in the FY 2004- 06 CAO Proposed Operational Plan. The funding source for this request is General Purpose Revenue.
RECOMMENDATION: CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER 1. Approve introduction (first reading) of ordinance: read title and waive further reading of ordinance:
AN ORDINANCE ADDING ARTICLE IIIs TO THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY ADMINISTRATIVE CODE ESTABLISHING A FIRE AND LIFE SAFETY HELICOPTER OPERATING COUNCIL.

4. Authorize the expenditure of $22,500 from budgeted funds within the Public Safety Group Executive Office to the City of San Diego to pay for Phase II of the county- wide study to identify the needs of a regional fire-rescue helicopter program (Conklin and de Decker study).
5. Direct the Chief Administrative Officer to return to the Board 45 days after completion of Phase II of the county-wide study to determine the needs of a regional fire-rescue helicopter program with appropriate recommendations to acquire and operate a fire and life safety helicopter within the County of San Diego.
6. Establish appropriations of $3.5 million in the Public Safety Group Executive Office for the acquisition of a fire and life safety helicopter, based on overrealized General Fund fund balance. (4 Votes)

3. SUBJECT: SAFEGUARDING THE HEALTH OF SAN DIEGO BAY (DISTRICT: 1)
OVERVIEW: San Diego Bay is the heart of San Diego County. Its 23 square mile area and 27 miles of shoreline are vital environmental, economic and national security resources for San Diego County and the nation. San Diego Bay is the center of our region’s tourism industry, which generates $5 billion annually. The Bay is also home to three major shipyards and numerous boatyards and marinas and is the largest homeport of the US Pacific Fleet. Situated entirely in the First Supervisorial District, this major resource impacts our entire region in so many ways, the environmental health of San Diego Bay is of vital importance to tourism, recreation and our residents’ quality of life.
On September 24, 2003, the Governor signed into law Senate Bill 68 (Alpert) calling for the creation of the San Diego Bay Advisory Committee for Ecological Assessment. The San Diego Bay Advisory Committee for Ecological Assessment was created to provide an evaluation of historic data and trends in the overall health of San Diego Bay and report its findings to the Legislature, The San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board, the State Water Resources Control Board and the California Coastal Commission. The Committee is comprised of representatives of local governments surrounding the Bay and a broad spectrum of environmental and business organizations interested in the Bay’s ecological health. The legislation requires the San Diego Unified Port District to staff the committee.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with this recommendation. The San Diego Unified Port District will provide staff to the Committee and will administer the grants made to the Committee.
2/10/04 3 RECOMMENDATION: SUPERVISOR COX: 1. Approve the participation of the County of San Diego in the San Diego Bay Advisory Committee for Ecological Assessment.
2. Authorize the First District Supervisor to nominate for our Board’s approval a recreational boat owner to the San Diego Bay Advisory Committee for Ecological Assessment as specified in the enabling legislation.
3. Direct the Chief Administrative Officer to appoint a water quality expert on County staff as the County’s technical representative.

4. SUBJECT: CSBG FIRESTORM RELIEF REVENUE CONTRACTS (DISTRICT: ALL)
OVERVIEW: The State is providing one-time federal Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) discretionary funding of $150,000 to assist victims of the San Diego County firestorms, which burned approximately 400,000 acres and destroyed nearly 5,000 structures.
Additionally, the California Department of Community Services and Development has requested Governor Schwarzenegger to submit a request for Congressional one-time CSBG supplemental funds to assist with the post-fire needs of low-income firestorm victims in several counties, including San Diego. If this supplemental funding becomes available, staff anticipates an allocation of up to $350,000 for San Diego County.
Board authorization is requested to execute two revenue agreements with the Department of Community Services and Development: one for $150,000 of Discretionary CSBG funding being provided by the State; and a second for up to $350,000 of Supplemental CSBG funding, if allocated.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for this proposal is not included in the FY 2003-04 Operational Plan. If approved, there will be an increase of up to $500,000 in FY 2003-04 costs and revenue. The funding sources are the State Department of Community Services and Development, Community Services Block Grant discretionary ($150,000) and Community Services Block Grant supplemental (up to $350,000). There will be no change in net General Fund cost and no additional staff years.

On September 17, 2002 (3), the Board accepted unanticipated CDC
2/10/04 5 revenue to provide countywide TB treatment and control services to reduce the incidence rate and transmission of TB in San Diego County. This item requests authority to amend a sole source contract with the American Lung Association to provide uninterrupted countywide mobile TB prevention and outreach services.
FISCAL IMPACT: The FY 2003-2005 Operational Plan for the Health and Human Services Agency includes $66,600 costs and revenues each year based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revenues.

6. SUBJECT: COMMUNITY SERVICES FOR FAMILIES COMPETITIVE SOLICITATION (DISTRICT: ALL) OVERVIEW: On January 28, 2003 (4), the Board approved the extension of the Family Preservation and Support Program contracts to allow the Commission on Children, Youth, and Families (Commission) to complete a comprehensive planning process for a child welfare support services continuum. The Commission found that the Family Support Services Continuum and Kinship Support Services Program contracts provide services that are duplicative or similar to the Family Preservation and Support Programs services and recommended that the services provided by these three contract groups be blended to provide a continuum of services. These contracts will all expire on June 30, 2004.
This Competitive Solicitation from Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) Regions responds to the Commission’s recommendation that developing a single child welfare support services continuum, combining all three programs, would provide more
2/10/04 6 effective services. The new services, which will be called Community Services for Families, will provide prevention and intervention services that are individualized to meet the needs of families and communities countywide. The County Strategic Plan and HHSA Regional Initiatives will be supported by these services.
Board approval is requested today to authorize the Director, Department of Purchasing and Contracting, to issue a Competitive Solicitation for contracts effective July 1, 2004, implementing a comprehensive Community Services for Families program throughout the County of San Diego and, if needed, to negotiate an extension of the Family Support Services Continuum contracts for a period not to exceed six months. In light of State budget concerns, contracts will be contingent on available funding and may be terminated or reduced at County convenience.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funds for this request are budgeted. If approved, this request will result in $5,978,744 Fiscal Year 2004/2005 and subsequent Fiscal Year costs. No additional staff years will be required. The funding sources and annual amounts are: Title IV-B of the Social Security Act, Part 2, Promoting Safe and Stable Families $2,400,000, Child Welfare Services $757,336, County General Fund $1,066,244, State Child Abuse Prevention. Intervention and Treatment $732,864, Children’s Trust Fund $750,000, Community- Based Family Resource Fund $50,000 and State Kinship Support Services Program $222,300.

7. SUBJECT: MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES - FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY (FEMA) GRANTS FOR DISASTER RELATED SERVICES (DISTRICT: ALL)
OVERVIEW: Between October 26, 2003 and November 3, 2003, San Diego County had a series of devastating firestorms that have been classified as the worst fires in the history of California. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) provides funding for mental health assistance and training activities in areas which have been declared a disaster by the President of the United States.
On November 6, 2003, San Diego County Mental Health Services submitted an application to the Immediate Services Program/Crisis Counseling Assistance and Training Program of FEMA, through the California Department of Mental Health, requesting a grant in the amount of $286,695 to cover disaster mental health services from October 26, 2003 to December 26, 2003. On December 10, 2003, Mental Health Services requested an extension from FEMA for additional grant funds in the amount of $153,514 from December 27, 2003 to February 24, 2004. Today’s action will authorize acceptance of the Immediate Services Program Grant with request for extension, and establish total appropriations in the amount of $440,209.
In order to provide mental health services for fire victims, a sole source agreement was entered into with The Counseling Team International, as a matter of public exigency. This agreement, which covered services from November 1, 2003 to January 30, 2004, was ratified by your Board on December 9, 2003 (37).
On December 19, 2003, Mental Health Services submitted an application to the Regular Services Program/Crisis Counseling Assistance and Training Program of FEMA through the California Department of Mental Health, requesting a grant in the amount of $1,500,000 to cover further disaster mental health services for February 25, 2004 through November 24, 2004. Today’s action will ratify the application and authorize acceptance of the Regular Services Program Grant, subject to approval of grant funding.
In order to implement the Regular Services Program, authority is also requested to amend current contracts with two providers, New Alternatives and Community Research Foundation, for provision of disaster related mental health services, subject to approval of grant funding.
2/10/04 8 FISCAL IMPACT: Funds for this item are not included in the FY 03-04 Operational Plan. If approved, this request will result in current year cost and revenue of $440,209. The revenue source is Federal Emergency Management Agency Immediate Services Grant funding of $440,209. There will be no change in net General Fund cost and no additional staff years. Since the application for the Regular Services Grant has not yet been approved by FEMA, the amount of that grant is not exact at this time. When the application is approved, staff will return to your Board to request authority to establish appropriations in the amount of the grant.
RECOMMENDATION: CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER 1. Ratify acceptance of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Immediate Services Program Grant in the amount of $286,695, and ratify the request for an extension of the term of the grant through February 26, 2004 and acceptance of additional funds of $153,514, for a total of $440,209.
2. Ratify the submission to FEMA for the Regular Services Grant, and acceptance of the grant, if approved by FEMA, in an amount up to $1,500,000 for a period of February 25, 2004 through November 24, 2004.
3. Waive Board Policy B-29, Fees, Grants and Revenue Contracts—Department Responsibility for Cost Recovery.
4. Establish appropriations of $440,209 in Health and Human Services Agency Children’s Mental Health Services based on unanticipated revenue from the Federal Emergency Management Agency Immediate Services Grant Program (4 VOTES).

2/10/04 9 8. SUBJECT: REALLOCATION OF CDBG FUNDS FOR THE FALLBROOK ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT MARKETING PLAN (DISTRICT: 5)
OVERVIEW: The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program provides federal U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development funds for the revitalization of lower income communities, including public improvement projects and affordable housing for those communities.
These actions will authorize the reallocation of up to $65,000 in CDBG funds for the preparation of a Fallbrook Economic Development Marketing Plan. Due to the closure of the County of San Diego, Office of Trade and Business Development (OTBD), it is recommended that the $65,000 in CDBG funds be reallocated to the Fallbrook Chamber of Commerce. The recommended $65,000 would provide up to $50,000 for consultant services and up to $15,000 for costs incurred by the Fallbrook Chamber of Commerce for administration of this project. If approved, the funds would be used to retain a consulting firm to review and compile existing data, conduct necessary studies and analysis, and prepare an Economic Development Marketing Plan for the Fallbrook business community.
FISCAL IMPACT: The $65,000 of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for this project is included in the Housing and Community Development Multi-Year Projects Budget, a special revenue fund. The estimated total cost is $30,000 for fiscal year 2003-04. The estimated total cost is $35,000 for fiscal year 2004-05. This amount will be based on CDBG expenditures achieved by June 30, 2005. The funding source is the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). There will be no net General Fund cost and no additional staff years.
BUSINESS IMPACT STATEMENT: These requests will have a positive impact on the business community since the recommended project includes a marketing study and economic development plan that will be carried out by a private consultant. The consultant will be selected through a competitive bid process.
RECOMMENDATION: CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER 1. Authorize the reallocation of up to $65,000 in CDBG funds from the County of San Diego, Office of Trade and Business Development to the Fallbrook Chamber of Commerce for preparation of the Fallbrook Economic Development Marketing Plan, including up to $15,000 for administrative costs.

The County Library makes this request to ensure that discarded library books are processed in the most efficient and effective manner, and to maximize revenue from the discards. There will be no additional cost to the County for this proposal.
FISCAL IMPACT: If approved, this will result in no additional cost and no new staff years.

This will result in no additional staff years.

15. SUBJECT: ESTABLISHMENT OF SELECTION PROCESS FOR BOARD OF SUPERVISORS APPOINTMENTS TO THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT ASSOCIATION (SDCERA) BOARD OF RETIREMENT (DISTRICT: ALL)
OVERVIEW: The governance of a public retirement fund is critically important to the County’s taxpayers, employees, and retirees. The Board of the San Diego County Employees Retirement Association (SDCERA) exercises fiduciary responsibility over five billion dollars of retirement funds. It is absolutely essential that highly qualified persons
2/10/04 17 competently, efficiently, and prudently govern this very important asset. The process by which our own Board of Supervisors makes appointments to the Retirement Board should reflect the formality and seriousness of duties associated with it. Our Board can set in County policy the selection process of the SDCERA Retirement Board appointments that are approved by the Board of Supervisors.
The State laws governing the San Diego County Employees Retirement Association (SDCERA) provide for a nine (9) member Board of Retirement, and further provide that the Board of Supervisors is authorized to appoint four (4) members to the Board of Retirement. As the two Supervisors who have served on the Board of Retirement, we understand firsthand the type of experience and skills that are necessary to competently discharge the fiduciary duties expected of a Retirement Board member. If approved, this proposed process will establish high standards, in terms of qualifications, experiences, and skills that each candidate must demonstrate in order to be considered for appointment to the Board of Retirement overseeing a $5.1 billion investment portfolio.
This proposal will improve the quality of the selection process and will ensure the appointment of qualified candidates to serve as members of the Retirement Board. In summary, the proposed process would do the following: (a) establish qualifications and preferred experience and skills for candidates, and (b) authorize the Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson of the Board of Supervisors to receive and screen applications, and to interview qualified candidates for purposes of recommending the most qualified candidate to the Board of Supervisors for appointment to the Retirement Board.
RECOMMENDATION: SUPERVISORS COX AND ROBERTS: Approve the attached proposed Board of Supervisors Policy relating to the appointment of persons to vacancies on the Board of Retirement.
ACTION: ON MOTION of Supervisor Cox, seconded by Supervisor Slater, the Board of Supervisors took action as recommended, on Consent approving Board Policy A-135, entitled: PROCESS FOR BOARD OF SUPERVISORS APPOINTMENTS TO THE RETIREMENT BOARD.
AYES: Cox, Jacob, Slater, Roberts, Horn
