1. SUBJECT: CalWORKs AutoWorks Pilot Program (Supv. Dist: All) OVERVIEW: Supervisors Jacob and Cox Board letter adopted July 11, 2000 (1). On July 11, 2000 (1) the Board directed the Chief Administrative Officer to develop a plan to enable CalWORKs recipients to purchase and maintain affordable vehicles of their own. This direction was in recognition of the fact that a lack of accessible transportation is one of the biggest obstacles to CalWORKs recipients achieving self-sufficiency. This item requests approval of a pilot program, which would provide up to 100 County-owned surplus vehicles from the County’s fleet for purchase by eligible, employed CalWORKs participants. Participants would be recommended by welfare to work case managers based on a detailed assessment of their need for transportation in order to continue their employment and access child care. Selected CalWORKs participants will agree to program requirements that include maintaining employment; paying for the vehicles in 24 months; possessing a valid drivers license; a good driving record; and, able to purchase auto insurance. This item also requests Board approval to issue a Request for Proposals to obtain a contractor to operate the program. The contractor will purchase the vehicles from the County-owned surplus fleet; assist the recipient in obtaining vehicle registration and insurance; execute the purchase agreements and collect the monthly payments from the CalWORKs participants; and, provide basic auto safety and maintenance information to the participants. The pilot program will be funded using CalWORKs Incentive Fund revenue and CalWORKs single block grant. FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for this request is not included in the FY 2000-2002 Operational Plan. The cost of the program is $496,539. If approved, this request will result in $230,509 current year costs and revenue, $194,950 subsequent year costs and revenue, and will not require additional staff years. The funding source is the State CalWORKs Incentive Fund ($425,459) for FY 2000-2002 and State CalWORKs single block grant ($71,080 for FY 2003-2004). There is no change to net General Fund costs.

Today's request is to approve an amended and restated lease that substitutes 14,859 square feet located on the 3rd floor for 6,912 square feet on the 4th floor and 7,859 square feet on the 12th floor for a total of 14,771 square feet. All other terms and conditions of the amended and restated lease remain unchanged except that the base rent has been lowered to reflect the 88 square foot decrease in space. The substitution of space provides better placement for the training facilities and "call center" on the 12th floor. The new training facility location will prevent unnecessary interruption to the Child Support staff and also provide an interruption-free area for the call center. FISCAL IMPACT: Funds for this proposal are budgeted. If approved, this request will result in current year costs of $77,858 an annual cost of $729,197 and will require no additional staff years.

Dist: All) OVERVIEW: San Diego County consumers routinely pay some of the highest gas prices in the nation. Unfortunately, the situation does not seem to be getting better. A new threat has appeared on the horizon. The proposed merger of Chevron and Texaco - the 2nd and 3rd largest U.S. oil companies - would be a further blow to the already anti-competitive San Diego gasoline market. Combined, Chevron and Texaco would control more than 25 percent of the County's gas stations, more than 40 percent of the West Coast retail market, and one-third of the region's refinery capacity. News of the proposed merger comes at a time when San Diegans are seeing prices in excess of $2.00 per gallon and the Federal Trade Commission has just acknowledged practices in the industry that raise competitive concerns. To prevent the oil industry from tightening its hold on San Diego County consumers, I am asking the Board of Supervisors to formally convey their opposition to the proposed merger to the Federal Trade Commission and to the members of California's Congressional delegation. FISCAL IMPACT: None with this action. RECOMMENDATION: SUPERVISOR ROBERTS: Direct the Chief Administrative Officer to prepare a letter for the Chairwoman's signature to Federal Trade Commission Chairman Robert Pitofsky expressing the concern and opposition by the Board of Supervisors to the proposed merger of Chevron and Texaco. In addition, direct the Chief Administrative Officer to provide copies of this letter to the members of California's Congressional delegation. ACTION: Directing the Chief Administrative Officer to also send the letter to the State Attorney General; and directing the Chief Administrative Officer to prepare the letter for the Vice Chairman's signature, ON MOTION of Supervisor Horn, seconded by Supervisor Cox, the Board of Supervisors took action as recommended, on Consent. AYES: Cox, Roberts, Horn RECUSED: Jacob ABSENT: Slater 16.
