2. SUBJECT: SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT REQUEST FOR PROCUREMENT OF THE INTEGRATED BALLISTICS INFORMATIONS SYSTEM EQUIPMENT (DISTRICT: ALL)

OVERVIEW: In a Memorandum of Understanding with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), the Sheriff’s Department Regional Crime Laboratory has agreed to enter data from firearms involved in crimes using Integrated Ballistic Information System (IBIS) into the National Integrated Ballistic Information Network (NIBIN). The NIBIN system enables law enforcement investigators to discover links between violent crimes committed with firearms. Many cases have been solved due to information contained in NIBIN and the links between firearms and other crimes would not have been discovered without this technology.

The IBIS unit is located in the Firearms Analysis Unit of the Sheriff’s Crime Laboratory. In November 2004 a sprinkler pipe ruptured resulting in water damage to the IBIS equipment. As a result of the water damage, the system was determined to be

9/19/06 2 unstable and unpredictable in its current state. The IBIS unit must be certified for continual use by ATF and its vendor, Forensic Technology. ATF has stated that it will not continue to certify the equipment due to the water damage. Considerable time and effort was made to recover the cost of replacement through other means. To continue the use of the IBIS system per the Memorandum of Understanding with ATF, the Crime Laboratory is required to replace the IBIS system.

This request is for approval of sole source procurement of an Integrated Ballistics Information System from Forensic Technology.

FISCAL IMPACT: Funds for this request are included in the Fiscal Year 2006-07 Operational Plan. If approved, this request will result in an estimated current year cost of $128,832. The funding source for this request is general purpose revenue in the Sheriff’s Department. This request requires the addition of zero staff years.

RECOMMENDATION: SHERIFF 1. Waive the advertising and competitive procurement requirements of Board Policy A-87.

2. In accordance with Board Policy A-87, Competitive Procurement, approve and authorize the Purchasing and Contracting Director to enter into negotiations with Forensic Technology; and, subject to successful negotiations and determination of a fair and reasonable price, award a contract for the replacement of the Integrated Ballistics Identification System.

ACTION: ON MOTION of Supervisor Slater-Price, seconded by Supervisor Cox, the Board took action as recommended, on Consent.

OVERVIEW: The County of San Diego receives federal funding under Titles I and II of the Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resource Emergency (CARE) Act to provide essential care and treatment services to persons living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Disease and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). The County was awarded $9,269,256 of Title I Year 16 funding, which ends February 28, 2007 and $887,712 of Title II Year 16 funding, which ends March 31, 2007.

9/19/06 8 8. SUBJECT: ENHANCING CARDIAC CARE IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY (DISTRICT: ALL)

OVERVIEW: San Diego County, in partnership with the local healthcare community, has shown leadership in developing a nationally recognized trauma system. We now have taken steps to further enhance our emergency medical services, by providing cutting edge care for heart attack victims. Heart attacks are a leading cause of death in San Diego County. One type of heart attack is called ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) and can be identified by paramedics called to the scene. Treatment for this type of heart attack is most effective when a procedure called an angioplasty is performed as quickly as possible. Since not all hospitals in San Diego have the capability to perform an angioplasty, designating those that can perform the procedure improves cardiac care for all citizens of San Diego County by allowing paramedics to get patients to the necessary treatment faster.

The Emergency Medical Services Division (EMS) of the Health and Human Services Agency established standards to designate qualified hospitals as STEMI Receiving Centers. Board action is requested to authorize the EMS Medical Director to execute Memorandums of Agreement with local medical facilities designated as STEMI Receiving Centers. With your Board’s approval, San Diego will be one of only three counties in the State to implement a system of cardiac care centers. Implementation will occur in October 2006.

FISCAL IMPACT: N/A

RECOMMENDATION: CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER Authorize the Emergency Medical Services Medical Director to execute Memorandums of Agreement with hospitals designated as STEMI Receiving Centers (SRC) based on the evaluation of the SRC application and performance in compliance with SRC standards.

9/19/06 9 9. SUBJECT: COMPETITIVE PROCUREMENT OF ADVANCED LIFE SUPPORT SERVICES IN COUNTY SERVICE AREA 17 (DISTRICT: 2, 3)

OVERVIEW: On December 12, 2000 (36), the Board authorized the Deputy Director of the Department of Purchasing and Contracting to issue a Request for Proposals for Advanced Life Support services in County Service Area 17-San Dieguito Emergency Medical Services District. A contract was awarded to San Diego Medical Services Enterprise for the period of September 1, 2001 through August 31, 2003, and was subsequently extended for two two-year option periods through August 31, 2007.

Today’s action requests the Board to authorize the Director of the Department of Purchasing and Contracting to issue a Competitive Solicitation for a contract to provide Advanced Life Support services in County Service Area 17 for the period of September 1, 2007 through June 30, 2009 with two additional two-year extension options, through June 30, 2013, and up to an additional six months if needed, and to amend the awarded contract to reflect changes in funding allocation and/or required services, subject to the approval of the Director of the Health and Human Services Agency.

FISCAL IMPACT: Funds for this request are included in the FY 2006-08 Operational Plan for the San Dieguito Emergency Medical Services District (CSA 17). If approved, this request will result in no FY 2006-07 cost and revenue and approximately $2,354,000 in FY 2007-08 cost and revenue. The funding sources are property taxes, special benefit taxes, and non- resident transport fees levied in County Service Area 17. There will be no change in net General Fund cost and no additional staff years.

RECOMMENDATION: CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER 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 Advanced Life Support services in County Service Area 17, and upon successful negotiations and determination of a fair and reasonable price, award a contract for an initial term of September 1, 2007 through June 30, 2009 with two additional two-year extension options, through June 30, 2013, and up to an additional six months if needed, and to amend the awarded contract to reflect changes in funding allocation and/or required services, subject to the approval of the Director of the Health and Human Services Agency.

9/19/06 10 10. SUBJECT: ACCEPTANCE OF DONATIONS FOR ENHANCED FOSTER YOUTH SERVICES (DISTRICT: ALL)

OVERVIEW: The Board of Supervisors has shown a long-term commitment to programs aimed at improving outcomes for foster youth. In San Diego County, approximately 6,000 youth are in the foster care system and approximately 200 exit the foster care system each year.

Statewide statistics indicate that youth leaving foster care are often unprepared for adulthood, lacking basic independent living skills necessary for self-sufficiency. While in foster care, 75 percent of youth are one to two years below their peers in reading and math. Within two to four years of exiting the foster care system, 45 percent are unemployed, 33 percent are arrested, 30 percent are on public assistance, and 25 percent experience episodes of homelessness.

The outcomes of San Diego’s foster youth can be significantly improved with the provision of support services such as tutoring and mentoring. These services are currently in place in the County of San Diego via the Tutor Connection Program and the Youth-to-Youth Program. These programs offer foster youth an opportunity to connect with a caring role model in a one-to-one relationship, boosting the youth’s academic success and improving their preparation for adulthood.

Today’s item recommends approval of the necessary actions to enhance the Tutor Connection Program and the Youth-to-Youth Program by using donated funds from Casey Family Programs and the Child Abuse Prevention Foundation.

FISCAL IMPACT: Funds for this request are not included in the Fiscal Year 2006-2007 Operational Plan. If approved, this request will result in Fiscal Year 2006-2007 cost and revenue of $150,000. There is no change to the net General Fund cost and no new staff years. The funding sources for these proposals are as follows: $100,000 donation from Casey Family Programs and $50,000 donation from the Child Abuse Prevention Foundation.

RECOMMENDATION: CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER 1. Accept donation of $100,000 from Casey Family Programs and $50,000 from the Child Abuse Prevention Foundation for Fiscal Year 2006-2007.

2. Authorize the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors to sign a letter of appreciation on the Board’s behalf to the donors.

11. SUBJECT: AGING & INDEPENDENCE SERVICES -- MANDATED REPORTING OF FINANCIAL ABUSE (DISTRICT: ALL)

In response to this legislation, Aging & Independence Services is seeking to expand its protective services message and broaden its educational approach in Fiscal Year 2006-07 to include members of the banking industry. Aging & Independence Services will educate the banking industry on elder and dependent adult financial abuse reporting responsibilities. Educational materials will be developed that focus on early intervention and prevention to reduce the incidence of abuse, neglect and self-neglect among elders and dependent adults.

This item also requests Board authorization to competitively procure representative payee services for Aging & Independence Services clients who are unable to manage and protect their finances from exploitation.

FISCAL IMPACT: Partial funds for this request in the amount of $129,614 are included in the Health and Human Services Agency Fiscal Year 2006-07 Operational Plan. The funding source is

9/19/06 12 the California Department of Social Services, $125,000.

9/19/06 13 12. SUBJECT: ACCEPTANCE OF STATE GRANT FUNDS -- CALIFORNIA SCREENING, BRIEF INTERVENTION, REFERRAL AND TREATMENT SERVICES (DISTRICT: ALL)

OVERVIEW: Screening and brief interventions for alcohol and drug users has been identified as one of the top preventive measures that can reduce health problems and save lives. Due to a federal grant received in 2003, Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral (SBIR) services have been successfully provided in health care settings throughout San Diego County as a prevention and intervention strategy for patient care. SBIR services are provided in various medical settings, including primary care, trauma services and emergency departments. The purpose is to reduce substance abuse by intervening and screening users and referring those individuals who are dependent to community treatment services. These services were provided by contract with a local private provider and administered by the State of California.

In May 2006, the provider notified the State that they would no longer be providing these services. At that time, the State Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs requested that the County of San Diego, Health and Human Services Agency, become the lead agency for continued implementation and to ensure continuity of services through the term of the grant, including an extension period through September 30, 2009.

Today’s item requests the Board to accept funding from the California Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs and to authorize the Director, Department of Purchasing and Contracting, to issue a competitive solicitation for screening, brief intervention, referral and treatment services to be effective through September 30, 2009.

FISCAL IMPACT: Funds for this request are not included in FY 2006-08 Operational Plan. If approved, this action will result in FY 2006-07 costs and revenue of $2,996,983 and FY 2007-08 costs and revenue of $3,119,717. The funding source is Federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMSHA) via a California Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs Grant Award. There is no County match and County costs are fully recovered. There will be no change in net General Fund cost and no additional staff years. County administrative costs in providing services will be applied as an indirect cost to the grant award. Appropriations are budgeted as the net difference of the grant award and County administrative cost.

RECOMMENDATION: CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER 1. Ratify and authorize the Health and Human Services Agency Director, or her designee, to accept a $7,779,651 grant from the California Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs for the period of September 1, 2006 through September 30, 2009 to fund Screening, Brief Intervention, Referral and Treatment services.

9/19/06 14 2.

OVERVIEW: This public hearing is to consider and approve the proposed Fiscal Year 2007-08 Annual Funding Plan Strategy that provides broad direction for the use of Fiscal Year 2007-08 Community Development Block Grant, HOME Investment Partnerships, Emergency Shelter Grant, and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS Program funds. A second public hearing for consideration of the Fiscal Year 2007-08 Draft Annual Funding Plan is proposed for March 13, 2007. These federal programs provide funds for public infrastructure, revitalization of lower-income communities, and development of affordable housing for low-income residents and persons with special needs. The funds also serve children and families in need of temporary and long-term housing, including persons with HIV/AIDS. The Board of Supervisors’ approval of the attached Fiscal Year 2007-08 Annual Funding Plan Strategy will guide staff in development of the Annual Funding Plan and is the first major step in the Fiscal Year 2007-08 Annual Funding Plan schedule.

The proposed recommendations will accomplish two additional objectives: first, authorize the Director, Department of Housing and Community Development, to update the Fiscal Year 2005-10 Consolidated Plan to incorporate new U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development performance measurements; and second, authorize

9/19/06 15 County Purchasing and Contracting to issue a Request for Proposals for the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS Program.

FISCAL IMPACT: Funds for these requests, totaling an estimated $11,675,691, will be included in the Housing and Community Development Fiscal Year 2007-08 Multiyear Projects Budget. The funding sources are Community Development Block Grant, HOME Investment Partnerships, Emergency Shelter Grant, and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS Programs. This will require the addition of no staff years and there is no General Fund cost.

BUSINESS IMPACT STATEMENT: If approved, these recommendations will have a positive impact on the business community, as the recommended Strategy will guide the development of the Fiscal Year 2007-08 Annual Funding Plan, including funds for construction of housing and public improvements. The funded projects will be implemented by private construction firms selected through a competitive bid process.

16. SUBJECT: NOTICED PUBLIC HEARING: ISSUANCE OF TAX-EXEMPT OBLIGATIONS BY THE ABAG (ASSOCIATION OF BAY AREA GOVERNMENTS) FINANCE AUTHORITY FOR NON-PROFIT CORPORATIONS ON BEHALF OF THE FRANCIS PARKER SCHOOL (DISTRICT: ALL)

OVERVIEW: Approve the tax-exempt financing by the ABAG (Association of Bay Area Governments) Finance Authority For Non-Profit Corporations (the “Authority”), for the benefit of the Francis Parker School (the “School”). The Authority is a joint powers authority of which the County of San Diego is a member. The Authority assists nonprofit corporations in California through the issuance of tax-exempt obligations.

The School has, through an application process, applied with the Authority to issue tax- exempt variable rate demand revenue bonds in an amount not to exceed $11,000,000 (the “Bonds”). The only role of the County of San Diego in this project is to approve the financing solely for purposes of satisfying the public approval requirement of Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 since the project is located within the jurisdiction of the County Board of Supervisors. The approval of the issuance and sale of the Bonds by the County is neither an approval of the underlying credit issues of the proposed project nor an approval of the financial structure of the Bonds. Similar approvals have been given to other conduits financed by the Authority.

FISCAL IMPACT: If approved, this proposal will result in $1,000 of revenue to be used to fund the County’s Investor Relation Program as approved by the Board of Supervisors in the County’s Debt Management Policy (B-65). No additional staff years will be required.

RECOMMENDATION: CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER AND DEBT ADVISORY COMMITTEE 1. Pursuant to Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code, hold a public hearing regarding the financing of the project.

2. Adopt the resolution approving the Authority’s issuance of tax-exempt obligations in an amount not to exceed $11,000,000 of tax-exempt variable rate demand revenue bonds for the benefit of the Francis Parker School.

The County of San Diego is a member of the California Municipal Finance Authority (the “Authority”), a Joint Powers Authority created to strengthen local communities by promoting economic development and charitable activities throughout the state of California. The only role of the County of San Diego in this project is to approve the financing solely for purposes of satisfying the public approval requirement of Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Similar approvals have been given to other issuances by the Authority.

9/19/06 21 FISCAL IMPACT: If approved, this proposal will result in $1,000 of revenue to be used to fund the County’s Investor Relation Programs as approved by the Board of Supervisors in the County’s Debt Management Policy (B-65). No additional staff years will be required.

The proceeds will be used for the financing and refinancing the acquisition, construction, improvement and equipping of certain health facilities owned or operated by the Hospital located in the County of San Diego.

CSCDA is a joint exercise of powers authority consisting of numerous California cities, counties and special districts including the County of San Diego. Section 9 of the Joint

OVERVIEW: On August 1, 2006 (19), the Board of Supervisors introduced Ordinance for further Board consideration and adoption on September 19, 2006.

The County’s automobile allowance rates have not been adjusted since 1991. During the past 15 years, the costs associated with automobile use have skyrocketed. These increased costs are especially the case with regard to the price of gasoline in San Diego County and the price of an automobile (see background section). The costs associated with insurance, as well as vehicle maintenance also have increased over the past 15 years, such as tire and brake replacement. Given these factors, it is appropriate to update the County’s automobile allowance rates to reflect the increased costs associated with automobile use today
