1. SUBJECT: Quality Assurance for San Diego County's Children in Child Care Facilities
(Supv. Dist: All)
Children are our most valuable asset - and it is imperative that their safety is protected. Yet, licensed family child care homes are inspected only once every three years. In those same three years, every single elevator will be inspected three times, every massage parlor will be inspected up to six times, over 2,500 hotels and motels will be inspected three times, each and every tattoo parlor will be inspected three times. As leaders in this County who have repeatedly placed a high priority on the health and safety of this County's children, the time has come to take a big step toward making child safety a priority.
There is no fiscal impact as a result of this request.
1. Direct the Chief Administrative Officer to work with the State Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division; Health and Human Services Agency Public Health Nursing and Family Resource Bureau; and the County's Child Care Planning Council to:
A. Explore the possibilities of developing a volunteer monitoring system for child care facilities and family child care homes in San Diego County.
B. Develop an aggressive parental education plan in conjunction with existing efforts, that will increase awareness of safety and quality of child care facilities for San Diego County parents.
C. Develop a customer satisfaction survey for parents of children in licensed and licensed exempt child care.
2. Direct the Chief Administrative Officer to pursue State legislation that will reinstate post-licensing visits and seek additional resources to increase State inspections for San Diego County licensed family child care homes.
3. Direct the Chief Administrative Officer to report back to the Board of Supervisors in 90 days with a status report.
ON MOTION of Supervisor Jacob, seconded Supervisor Slater, the Board of Supervisors took action as recommended; directed the Chief Administrative Officer and County Counsel to report back as soon as possible on what is needed to implement the following: 1) a requirement that disclosure statements are provided with childcare referrals; 2) parents informed that they have the right to view State licensing files; if this requires an ordinance, directed that a County ordinance be drawn up and brought back to the Board in 60 days; if it is determined that the law prohibits the County from implementing a County ordinance, report back with recommendations for changes to the State law in order to accomplish the goal; directed the Chief Administrative Officer to investigate State licensing criteria (both quality and frequency) to ascertain why this specific childcare provider is still licensed; and directed the Chief Administrative Officer investigate and report on development of an Internet site for parents to obtain information.
AYES: Cox, Jacob, Slater, Horn
ABSENT: Roberts
2. SUBJECT: Continuation of General Motors Corporation Grant to Establish Trauma Network and Enhance Data Collection on Accidents, Injuries and Their Consequences
(Supv. Dist: All)
On April 16, 1996 (3), the Board of Supervisors approved a revenue agreement with the General Motors Corporation in partnership with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Department of Transportation, for research to improve vehicle safety. The study involves collection and analysis of crash reconstruction data to determine the causes and effects of injuries sustained by drivers and passengers. This information will be used by auto manufacturers to continue to improve the design and engineering of passenger vehicles to reduce death and disability.
The original agreement provided for a three year grant, through June 30, 1999, funded at $300,000 per year. The grant period has been extended an additional three years, through June 30, 2002. Additionally, preliminary indications are that annual funding will be increased to $500,000 for at least the final two years of the grant. Today's action requests authorization for receipt of grant funds for Fiscal Year 1998-99, and continued receipt of funds for three additional years, at an amount of up to $500,000 per year.
The funding source is a grant from the General Motors Corporation and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. This request will result in no increase to current year cost and revenue, $300,000 in Fiscal Year 1998-99 cost and revenue, and up to $500,000 cost and revenue in each of the three subsequent years, with no increase in staff years.
Waive Board Policy B-29, Fees, Grants, Revenue Contracts--Department Responsibility for Cost Recovery. Approve and authorize the Clerk of the Board to execute, upon receipt, a revenue agreement with General Motors Corporation and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the amount of $300,000 in Fiscal Year 1998-99 and an amount not to exceed $500,000 per year for the period July 1, 1999 through June 30, 2002.

3. SUBJECT: Letter of Intent Regarding Planning for SR-11 and a New East Otay Mesa/Mesa de Otay II Port of Entry
(Supv. Dist: 1)
The Letter of Intent is a non-binding document that formalizes the understanding among all of the parties involved in planning a new border crossing and related infrastructure. This new Port of Entry is needed to meet the needs of rapidly growing trade and commercial traffic between Mexico and the United States. The action today will help to ensure that this binational plan can move forward.
The action requested today has no fiscal impact. Staff time for regional transportation planning efforts is included in the Department of Public Works budget.
The addition of a new, state-of-the-art port of entry will positively impact property owners and developers in the east Otay Mesa area. Additionally, it will provide a transportation corridor that will help business transport goods across the border.
1. Authorize the Chief Administrative Officer to sign the Letter of Intent (Submitted Attachment 1)
a. There will be cooperation between Caltrans, SANDAG, the City of San Diego, the County of San Diego, the Secretariat of Human Settlements and Public Works of the State of Baja California and the City of Tijuana; and
b. Each signatory agency pledges to cooperate towards the planning for State Route 11 (SR-11) between SR-905 and the East Otay Mesa/Mesa de Otay II Port of Entry; and
c. The County will establish a plan for our participation including attendance at the Bi-State Transportation Technical Advisory Committee, Ports of Entry Council of the Board Liaison Mechanism for San Diego and Tijuana; adoption of required plans for highway right-of-way; continue to participate in meetings for development of the state-of-the-art port; work with Federal agencies as they designate the East Otay Mesa/Mesa de Otay II International Border Crossing and Port of Entry and its connecting roadways.
2. Direct staff to continue to work with the agencies involved.
ON MOTION of Supervisor Slater, seconded of Supervisor Jacob, the Board of Supervisors took action as recommended, on Consent; and directed the Chief Administrative Officer to prepare a letter for the Chairman's signature to San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) asking that the results of the East Otay Mesa Port of Entry planning effort be forwarded to the Chair of the newly formed SANDAG Committee tasked with conducting a major investment study of the SR-94 corridor.

(Supv. Dist: 2)
This is a request for approval of the advertisement and subsequent award of a contract to construct a bike lane on the west side of Ashwood Street in front of the El Capitan High School in Lakeside. The new bike lane will increase bicycle safety in front of the school.
Funds for this proposal are not budgeted. The funding shortfall will be closed by transferring $145,000 in appropriations originally budgeted for Undistributed Right-of-Way which will not be needed to purchase right-of-way during the remainder of this fiscal year. The funding source is Gas Tax Funds. If approved, this request will result in $145,000 current year cost, no annual cost and require the addition of no staff years.
1. Find in accordance with Section 15301 of the California Environmental Quality Act, Guidelines that this project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the Guidelines since it consists of the minor alteration of an existing facility with no increase in capacity.
2. Authorize the transfer of appropriations in the amount of $145,000 from Activity 6P5556 (Undistributed Right-of Way), Org. 5766, Account 3465, Task 465, to Activity 2C1013 (Ashwood Street Bike Lane), Org. 5766, Account 2324, Task 324. (4 VOTES)

5. SUBJECT: Shade Road - Emergency Access Gate, Valle De Oro Planning Area
(Supv. Dist: 2)
On August 6, 1997 (4), the Board found that for reasons of public health and safety, pursuant to County Code Section 72.76. and in accordance with Section 21101(f) of the California Vehicle Code, Shade Road should remain closed to through traffic and the existing barricade should remain in place. The Board also directed staff to replace that portion of the barrier, necessary for public safety, with a locked gate.
On March 16, 1998, the Department of Public Works installed a locking gate with a Knox fire access lock. The gate was installed, inspected and approved by the Fire Marshal of the San Miguel Consolidated Fire Protection District.
On April 3, 1998, in the Superior Court of San Diego County in the matter of CITIZENS IN FAVOR OF OPENING SHADE ROAD, et al, vs. THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO, et al, the plaintiffs submitted to the Court a letter for the Chief of the San Miguel Fire Protection District stating that a strobe-activated emergency access gate is required at this location. Subsequently, the plaintiff argued that the County had failed in its attention to this matter and therefore the barricade should be removed and the roadway made open to the public.
County Counsel has asked that the Board of Supervisors clarify for the Fire Chief and for the Court the intent of the Board action on August 6, 1997 (4), as to whether the gate is to provide daily access or occasional emergency access.
The action requested has no fiscal impact.
Affirm that it is the intent of the Board of Supervisors that the locking gate provides occasional emergency access and that it is not intended to provide daily access to the area.
ON MOTION of Supervisor Slater, seconded of Supervisor Jacob, the Board of Supervisors took action as recommended, on Consent.
AYES: Cox, Jacob, Slater, Horn
ABSENT: Roberts
6. SUBJECT: Construction of 14th Street Reinforced Concrete Box Culvert in Ramona

This project is located in the Ramona Neighborhood Revitalization Area. This is a request for approval of the advertisement and subsequent award of a contract to replace an undersized reinforced concrete box culvert with a new larger reinforced concrete box culvert under 14th Street in Ramona. The new box culvert will benefit the community by providing increased flow capacity and thereby prevent flooding of the road and adjacent property which occurs during periods of heavy rainfall.
Funds for this proposal are budgeted. The funding source is Gas Tax Funds. If approved, this request will result in $148,000 current year cost, no annual cost and require the addition of no staff years.
1. Find in accordance with Section 15302 of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines that this project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the Guidelines since it consists of the replacement of an existing structure which will have substantially the same purpose as the structure replaced.
2. Authorize the Director of General Services to take any action authorized by Section 398.17.3 of the Administrative Code with respect to contracting for the subject public works project.
3. Designate the Director of Public Works as the County Officer responsible for administering the contract.

The Board of Supervisors is being asked to confirm the results of two such notice and balloting processes today and direct any changes to the Fiscal Year 1998-99 budget and benefit charges on the tax bill.
The requested action has no fiscal impact. The fiscal impact of County Service Area 20 - Daily Road and County Service Area 95 - Valle Del Sol will be addressed at a subsequent Board meeting when the County Budget is approved.
1. Confirm the results of the balloting for County Service Areas 95 - Valle Del Sol and 20 - Daily Road.

8. SUBJECT: Camino Del Rey Bridge - Fed No. BRL-5957 (018) - Acquisition of Parcel No. 95-0154-A, B, C and D
(Supv. Dist: 5)
On July 22, 1997 (3), the Board of Supervisors approved the Department of Public Works' Fiscal Year 1997-98 Detailed Work Program which included the Camino Del Rey Bridge project. The project will replace the temporary bridge that was installed over the San Luis Rey River when the original bridge washed out following the floods of 1993. The project requires the acquisition of right-of-way easements from three property owners. The County has previously acquired two of the three easements from the owners.
The last remaining owner has now agreed to sign a real property contract. The Board of Supervisors is requested to approve the real property contract for the purchase of Parcel No. 95-0154-A, B, C and D from Frank N. Vessels. In addition, the Board is requested to approve the Landscape Maintenance Agreement with San Luis Rey Downs to provide maintenance for the additional landscaping being installed by the County at the request of the Bonsall Community.
Funds for this proposal are budgeted in the Fiscal Year 1997-98 Road Fund Detailed Work Program and are based on Federal Highway Administration Bridge Repair and Restoration funds and gasoline taxes. If approved, this proposal will result in a cost of $34,200 in Fiscal Year 1997-98, no additional costs in subsequent years, and the addition of no staff years.
1. Approve the Real Property Contract for Parcel No. 95-0154-A, B, C and D (Vessels) for $34,200, and authorize the Clerk of the Board to execute two copies of the Real Property contract.

19. SUBJECT: Downtown Courthouse Fire Code Compliance
(Supv. Dist: 1)
On April 28, 1998 (3), your Board continued this matter to May 5, 1998 at the request of the Chief Administrative Officer, on Consent.
On April 15, 1997 (28), the Board of Supervisors authorized the Auditor and Controller to lift a portion of the appropriation freeze ($854,492) of the funds in Capital Project KK4901 (Downtown Courthouse Remodel Project) to provide for interior alterations and life safety/security corrections. The remaining appropriations ($767,185) were to remain frozen and be applied for building system corrections and repairs if required. This request will direct the Auditor and Controller to lift the freeze on the remaining portion of the appropriations in order to meet the fire code requirements which must be met in order to be in full compliance.
If approved, the proposal will designate $767,185 in appropriations to fund construction modifications at the Downtown Courthouse to meet fire code requirements. The funding sources for this project are Bond Revenues and AB189 Penalty Assessments. No additional staff years will be required as a result of this action.
1. Find in accordance with Section 15301(d) of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines that this project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the Guidelines since it consists of minor alterations to an existing facility.
2. Direct the Auditor and Controller to lift the freeze on the remaining appropriations ($767,185) in Capital Project KK4901 (Downtown Courthouse Remodel Project) to fund construction modifications necessary to meet fire code requirements at the Downtown Courthouse.
3. Authorize the Director of General Services to take any action authorized by Section 398.17.1a of the Administrative Code with respect to contracting for the subject public works project.
4. Designate the Director of General Services as the County Officer responsible for the administering of the contracts.

20. SUBJECT: Administrative Item:
(Supv. Dist: All)
On April 28, 1998, (30), your Board introduced Ordinance for further Board consideration on May 5, 1998.
On April 21, 1998 (29), your Board continued this matter to April 28, 1998 at the request of the Chief Administrative Officer, on Consent.
This action amends the San Diego County Compensation Ordinance by implementing your Board's authorization to the Department of Public Works to reengineer work throughout the department for improved services, operational efficiency and management accountability. This action results in the deletion of authorized positions in the Department of Public Works in the Road Fund, Wastewater Management and Airports divisions resulting in the layoff of employees due to a lack of work.
If approved this action reduces expenditures for salaries and benefits by approximately $3.2 million in Fiscal Year 1998-99.
Adopt Ordinance entitled:
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE COMPENSATION ORDINANCE DELETING SPECIFIED POSITIONS IN THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS.
ON MOTION of Supervisor Slater, seconded of Supervisor Jacob, the Board of Supervisors took action as recommended, on Consent, adopting Ordinance No. 8907 (New Series), entitled: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE COMPENSATION ORDINANCE DELETING SPECIFIED POSITIONS IN DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS.
AYES: Cox, Jacob, Slater, Horn

21. SUBJECT: Administrative Item:
(Supv. Dist: All)
On April 28, 1998 (17), your Board introduced Ordinance for further Board consideration on May 5, 1998.
On April 16, 1996, (58), the Board amended the Uniform Sewer Ordinance to provide for commercial/industrial user sewer service charges based on strength and flow of wastewater. At that time, the Uniform Sewer Ordinance was revised to implement only one of two strength factors, the suspended solids (SS) portion of the State mandate.
On May 6, 1997 (San 2), the Board considered the implementation of the second factor, the Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) portion of the strength based sewer service charge system. The Board elected to delay implementation of the BOD portion of the sewer service charge for commercial and industrial customers for one year. The delay would allow staff time to develop a sampling and testing program for customers with high-strength wastewater to separate food preparation waste from the wastewater stream and thereby lower the cost of wastewater treatment.
The testing program was developed and implemented. It involved local high-strength customers. The results showed a marked decrease in BOD and SS when food waste was removed and grease interceptors were pumped on a frequent basis. The test program provided data to develop a new Revenue Code (26), that reduces costs to several customer categories that would have had the largest sewer service charge increases. On February 17, 1998 (San 1), the Board authorized use of the new Revenue Code and set a public hearing for today to consider adoption of the BOD factor.
The State Department of Water Resources (Cal EPA) approved the new Revenue Code on February 19, 1998, (Submitted Attachment 7), and recommends adoption and implementation of the BOD strength factor which is the subject of the Ordinance before you today.
Approval of the recommended actions will implement the BOD portion of the State mandate effective July 1, 1998. This change will not affect residential users (single-family, multi-family, condominiums, mobile-homes). This action does increase fees for some commercial and industrial users who have high-strength wastewater and lowers fees for other commercial and industrial users with lower strength.
These actions will not impact the County General Fund.
If the Ordinance is approved, certain commercial/industrial rates will increase beginning July 1, 1998. The BOD charge will not affect the sewer service charge for residential customers.
No significant change will occur in the Districts' Fiscal Year 1998-99 revenue from existing residential or commercial industrial customers. Any minor changes in revenue will be absorbed by fund balances.
The State has mandated that County Districts which discharge wastewater to the City of San Diego's Metropolitan Wastewater System implement a user charge system that charges each user (or a user group) for the quantity of wastewater flow and wastewater strength. Businesses that generate large flows of wastewater with high concentrations of BOD (i.e., restaurants, food stores, and bakeries) will see an increase in annual sewer service charges.
Those businesses that participate in the pre-consumer food discard separation program will be assigned the new Revenue Code 26 and will have a smaller sewer service charge than those who do not participate (Submitted Attachment 5). Those not participating will be charged based on Average User Strength as set by the State Water Resources Control Board (Submitted Attachment 6).
Adopt Ordinance entitled:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE WINTER GARDENS SEWER MAINTENANCE DISTRICT REPEALING ORDINANCE 8678 (N.S.) AND SETTING SEWER SERVICE CHARGES FOR THE WINTER GARDENS SEWER MAINTENANCE DISTRICT BASED UPON THE STRENGTH OF WASTEWATER (Submitted Attachment 4)
(Relates to Sanitation District Agenda No. 1)
