3/1/05 3 1. SUBJECT: SUPPORT FOR INCREASED HOMELAND SECURITY AT THE U.S./MEXICO BORDER (DISTRICT: 1) OVERVIEW: In the post 9/11 world, securing the integrity of our borders has become one of our nation’s highest priorities. The U.S./Mexico border area extends 2,000 miles in length and is one of the busiest border areas in the world. The portion of the border that lies between San Diego County and Mexico is home to the nation’s busiest ports of entry and plays an integral role in our local economy. Unfortunately, it is also one of the most popular points of illegal entry into the United States. The Federal government is moving forward with the construction of the last segment of a secure triple border fence between the United States and Mexico. The County of San Diego has spent considerable resources, both monetary and labor, in acquiring and managing land as part of our Tijuana River Valley Regional Park, which borders the Tijuana Slough National Wildlife Refuge along the western most 3 miles of the U.S./Mexico border. Today’s action seeks the San Diego County Board of Supervisors’ endorsement of Federal efforts to secure our national borders by constructing a secure triple border fence, while requesting that the Federal government protect the biological diversity, unique sensitive habitat, and natural beauty that we all treasure.
FISCAL IMPACT: There are no fiscal impacts associated with today’s action.
RECOMMENDATION: SUPERVISOR COX: 1. Direct the Chief Administrative Officer to draft a letter for the Chairwoman’s signature to the Secretary of Homeland Security and all members of the San Diego County Federal delegation expressing the County’s strong support for Federal efforts to construct a secure triple border fence. 2. Direct the Chief Administrative Officer to include in the letter for the Chairwoman’s signature this Board of Supervisors’ desire that the Federal government design and engineer the border fence enhancements using best engineering practices, which will minimize the negative effects to the surrounding environment. 3. Direct County staff to work with the Federal government to ensure mitigation that will offset the unavoidable damage to natural resources that will occur as a result of the fence construction, including future erosion and slope stability issues generated by the cut and fill of Smuggler’s Gulch. 4. Direct the Chief Administrative Officer to communicate this Board of Supervisors’ support for the Federal border fence project as outlined in the previous recommendations to San Diego County’s Legislative Representative in Washington, D.C.
3/1/05 1 ACTION: ON MOTION of Supervisor Jacob, seconded by Supervisor Horn, the Board took the following actions: 1. Direct the Chief Administrative Officer to draft a letter for the Chairwoman’s signature to the Secretary of Homeland Security and all members of the San Diego County Federal delegation expressing the County’s strong support for Federal efforts to construct a secure triple border fence; 2. Direct the Chief Administrative Officer to work with U.S. Customs and Border Patrol to ensure the execution of the mitigation included in the final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS); 3. Direct the Chief Administrative Officer to enter into an agreement with U.S. Customs and Border Patrol to establish a public safety easement with access roads on County property along the Border and return to the Board once an agreement has been reached; 4. Direct the Chief Administrative Officer to communicate this Board of Supervisors’ support for the Federal border fence project as outlined in today’s recommendations to San Diego County’s Legislative Representative in Washington, D.C.; 5. Direct the Chief Administrative Officer to draft a letter for the Chairwoman’s signature to the Secretary of Homeland Security and all members of the San Diego County Federal delegation expressing the County’s strong support for Section 102 of H.R. 418 with inclusion of the mitigation in Final EIS. AYES: Jacob, Slater-Price, Horn, Roberts NOES: Cox
2. SUBJECT: OFFICE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES – URBAN AREA SECURITY INITATIVE GRANT ACCEPTANCE AS A SUB GRANTEE (DISTRICT: ALL)
OVERVIEW: The federal Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has provided funding to California’s Office of Homeland Security (OHS) through the Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI). This program provides direct Anti-Terrorism grant funding to large cities to address the unique equipment, training, planning, and exercise needs of large, high-threat urban areas. The recipient of this grant, the City of San Diego, and the core county, San Diego County, both need to sign the application and therefore need to coordinate to ensure that all needs are being met for the urban area. The City of San Diego accepted $11,359,682 from the FY03 (II) UASI Grant in September 2003, and $10,418,116 from the FY04 UASI grant in April 2004. The City of San Diego is the recipient and administrator of the UASI grant and has allocated UASI grant funding to all of the jurisdictions within San Diego County. The City of San Diego accepted the grant funds for the FY03 (II) UASI grant from the State in 2003, however, the City did not release the funds to the receiving jurisdictions, including San Diego County, until November of 2004. This is a request to accept, as a sub grantee of the City of San Diego, a portion of FY03 and FY04 UASI funds identified.
3/1/05 2 FISCAL IMPACT: Funds for this request are not budgeted. If this request is approved, it will result in $4,471,473 costs and revenues in the current fiscal year, subsequent year costs and revenues of $3,090,130 and will require the addition of no staff years. The subsequent year costs and revenues of $3,090,130 will be included in the Office of Emergency Service’s Fiscal Year 2005-06 Operational Plan. The funding source is the State of California UASI Grant. There are no cost-share or match requirements for these grants.
RECOMMENDATION: CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER 1. Waive Board Policy A-91, Mid Year Budget Changes. 2. Waive Board Policy B-29, Fees, Grants, Revenue Contracts – Department Responsibility for Cost Recovery. 3. Authorize the Director of the Office of Emergency Services to accept the FY03 UASI Grant funding in the amount of $4,471,473 and the FY04 UASI Grant funding in the amount of $3,090,130. 4. Establish appropriations in the amount of $4,471,473 in the Office of Emergency Services based on grant revenues from the State of California passed-through the City of San Diego. (4 VOTES) 5. In accordance with Section 401 et seq, of the County Administrative Code authorize the Director, Department of Purchasing and Contracting to issue a Competitive Solicitation for necessary equipment on the approved equipment list for these grants, and upon successful negotiations and determination of a fair and reasonable price, award contracts and to amend the contracts as needed to reflect changes to funding, subject to approval of the Director of the Office of Emergency Services.
ACTION: ON MOTION of Supervisor Jacob, seconded by Supervisor Horn, the Board took action as recommended, on Consent. AYES: Cox, Jacob, Slater-Price, Horn, Roberts
3. SUBJECT: SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL FOR MOBILE DATA COMPUTERS (DISTRICT: ALL)
OVERVIEW: Since 1999, the Sheriff’s Department has been using Mobile Data Computers (MDC’s) in patrol cars. These computers have become an integral part of our operation contributing to both operational efficiency and officer safety. By dispatching low-priority calls via the computer, radio traffic is reduced making radio frequencies available for high priority calls and emergencies involving officer safety. The MDC’s allow the deputies to run their own warrants, Department of Motor Vehicles inquiries, and criminal history inquiries which increases their efficiency while reducing the dispatchers’ workload.
3/1/05 3 Approximately 50% of the existing MDC inventory is over five years old and is quickly approaching the end of its useful life. The current MDC’s require the processing unit to be located in the trunk which is causing a high failure rate due to heat, vibration and dust. In addition the current MDC’s use outdated technology that is slow and cause a high drain on the vehicle batteries. There are now mobile data computers available from several manufacturers that can be installed inside the patrol car, eliminating damage from heat. These units also run the latest software and contain power saving technology that will reduce demand on the vehicles’ electrical system. The Sheriff’s Department would like to replace all of the MDC’s over the next five years. This letter is to request authorization to issue a competitive solicitation for the procurement of Mobile Data Computers.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funds for this request are appropriated in the General Services Fleet Internal Service Fund (ISF). The cost of the MDC will be added to the total cost of the vehicle and the Sheriff’s Department will reimburse the ISF through the annual payment of depreciation. If approved, this request will result in $1,050,000 current year costs and future costs of $2,450,000 for a total cost of $3,500,000, and will require the addition of zero staff years.
RECOMMENDATION: SHERIFF In accordance with Section 401, et. seq., of the County Administrative Code, authorize the Director of the Department of Purchasing and Contracting to issue a competitive solicitation for Mobile Data Computers, and upon successful negotiations and determination of a fair and reasonable price, award a contract for a term of one (1) year, with four (4) one-year options and up to an additional six months if needed, and to amend the contract as needed to reflect changes to services and funding, subject to approval of the Sheriff.
ACTION: ON MOTION of Supervisor Jacob, seconded by Supervisor Horn, the Board took action as recommended, on Consent. AYES: Cox, Jacob, Slater-Price, Horn, Roberts
4. SUBJECT: SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT ACCEPTANCE OF SEAT BELT COMPLIANCE GRANTS (DISTRICTS: 1, 2, AND 5)
OVERVIEW: This is a request to ratify the submission and authorize the acceptance of four (4) grants totaling $43,096 from the California Office of Traffic Safety (COTS) to participate in the California Seat Belt Compliance Campaign (CSBCC). Through the combined efforts of state and local law enforcement, a seat belt enforcement campaign will be conducted for a three- week (May 16 through June 5, 2005) mobilization period that includes the Memorial Day
3/1/05 4 Holiday. The seat belt enforcement campaign is in support of the May 2005 Buckle-Up America/Operation Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) National Mobilizations. These grants will be utilized to increase the level of seat belt enforcement hours in the cities of Imperial Beach, Lemon Grove, San Marcos, and Vista.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funds for this request are not budgeted. The funding source is unanticipated revenue from the California Department of Traffic Safety. If approved, this request will result in $43,096 in over-realized revenue. No appropriations are requested at this time. Operating costs associated with this grant will be expended out of existing appropriations. If approved, this request will require the addition of zero staff years.
RECOMMENDATION: SHERIFF 1. Waive Board Policy B-29, which requires Board approval prior to grant submission.
2. Ratify the submission and authorize the acceptance of four (4) grants totaling $43,096 from the California Office of Traffic Safety (COTS), for the California Seat Belt Compliance Campaign (CSBCC), for the period February 1, 2005 through August 31, 2005, to be administered as follows: $6,280 by Imperial Beach Sheriff’s Station; $15,001 by the Lemon Grove Sheriff’s Station; $14,846 by the San Marcos Sheriff’s Station and $6,969 by the Vista Sheriff’s Station.
3. Authorize the Sheriff to review and execute on the Board’s behalf the grant documents and any extensions, amendments, or revisions relating to the CSBCC from the COTS that do not materially impact or alter either the grant program or funding level.
ACTION: ON MOTION of Supervisor Jacob, seconded by Supervisor Horn, the Board took action as recommended, on Consent. AYES: Cox, Jacob, Slater-Price, Horn, Roberts
5. SUBJECT: NEW LEASE AGREEMENT FOR THE CAMPO FIRE DEPARTMENT (DISTRICT: 2)
OVERVIEW: The Campo Fire Department serves the community of Campo and surrounding areas by providing fire suppression and emergency medical services with dedicated volunteer firefighters and limited funding. The Fire Department currently leases a County building for $1 per year. The Fire Department has expanded services since 1985 and now needs additional space for the housing and training of additional volunteers. The Fire Department has requested the use of the adjoining vacant County employee residence for this purpose. The Department of General Services has indicated the adjoining vacant residence that was formerly used to house a County employee is no longer needed by the County for that purpose. A wall is what separates the two facilities. If this action is approved, a new lease
3/1/05 5 agreement would be executed to combine the existing Fire Station with the adjoining County residence of approximately 1,400 square feet at no cost to the Campo Fire Department. The new lease agreement will also extend the current term to June 30, 2015 and provide two five- year extension options.
FISCAL IMPACT: The Fire Department will assume maintenance expenses for this residence under the new lease.
RECOMMENDATION: SUPERVISOR JACOB: 1. Find that this activity is not subject to the environmental assessment process as it is categorically exempt under Article 19, Section 15301 of the State of California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, being a continued use of an existing facility. 2. Waive Board Policies B-29 and F-51 pertaining to department responsibility for cost recovery and market rate leasing of County real property. 3. Authorize the Director, Department of General Services, to execute the new Lease Agreement with the Campo Fire Department.
ACTION: ON MOTION of Supervisor Jacob, seconded by Supervisor Horn, the Board took action as recommended, on Consent. AYES: Cox, Jacob, Slater-Price, Horn, Roberts
6. SUBJECT: AUTHORITY TO ESTABLISH JOB ORDER CONTRACT CAPACITY FOR MAJOR MAINTENANCE PROJECTS (DISTRICTS: ALL)
OVERVIEW: The Department of General Services periodically requests authority to re-establish Job Order Contracting capacity in order to execute approved major maintenance, repair, and remodeling projects. This proposal will authorize the advertisement and award of up to $25.5 million in Job Order Contracting capacity to execute remaining Fiscal Year 2004-05 projects and Fiscal Year 2005-06 major maintenance program including unanticipated emergency work added by departments during the year. An emphasis on JOC contracts with a maximum value of $250,000 will provide greater opportunity for smaller, local contractors to participate in this program. JOC contracts will be issued on an as-needed basis. The Job Order Contracting authority will cover only projects already budgeted within departments or approved separately by the Board of Supervisors.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact at this time; funds are budgeted at the project level upon award. No additional annual costs or additional staff years will be required as a result of this action.
3/1/05 6 BUSINESS IMPACT STATEMENT: Expenditures resulting from this action may create private sector jobs and economic opportunities in San Diego County. Job Order Contracting contractors provide jobs for small sub-contractors who may not have the insurance or bonding capabilities to bid directly for County of San Diego projects.
RECOMMENDATION: CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER 1. Find pursuant to Sections 15301, 15302, and 15303 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines that the recommended action to authorize Job Order Contracting will execute approved Major Maintenance projects involving only the repair, maintenance, and replacement of existing facilities, and the construction and conversion of small structures and is, therefore, categorically exempt from CEQA. 2. Authorize the Director of Purchasing and Contracting to take any action authorized by Section 401 et seq. of the Administrative Code, with respect to contracting for public works projects with Job Order Contracting. 3. Designate the Director of General Services as the County Officer responsible for the administration of all contracts associated with Job Order Contracting.
