Agenda/Minute Order No. Subject 1. ALPINE, LAKESIDE AND SPRING VALLEY JOINT EXERCISE OF POWERS AGREEMENT BETWEEN PARTICIPATING AGENCIES IN METROPOLITAN SEWERAGE SYSTEM INCLUDING ALPINE, LAKESIDE, SPRING VALLEY SANITATION DISTRICTS AND WINTER GARDENS SEWER MAINTENANCE DISTRICT (RELATES TO BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA ITEM NO. 6) 2. ALPINE, JULIAN, LAKESIDE, PINE VALLEY AND SPRING VALLEY ADMINISTRATIVE ITEM: (RELATES TO BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA
ITEM NO. 12 ) SAN 1 SUBJECT: JOINT EXERCISE OF POWERS AGREEMENT BETWEEN PARTICIPATING AGENCIES IN METROPOLITAN SEWERAGE SYSTEM INCLUDING ALPINE, LAKESIDE, SPRING VALLEY SANITATION DISTRICTS AND WINTER GARDENS SEWER MAINTENANCE DISTRICT (Supv. Dist: 1,2,4) OVERVIEW: Alpine, Lakeside, and Spring Valley Sanitation Districts, along with Winter Gardens Sewer Maintenance District, contract with the City of San Diego for Sewage treatment and disposal (Metro Agreement) as participating agencies in the Metropolitan Sewerage System (Metro). On May 11, 1999 (15), the Board approved a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (JPA) to form the Metro Sewer Public Financing Authority to provide bond financing capability to each participating agency for their share of Metro capital facilities. These costs are estimated at $110 million over the next ten years ($18 million for County Sanitation Districts). Although approved by the Board, the agreement was not approved by all the participating agencies at that time. Some agencies requested minor, non-substantive changes in recitals, title of agreement, and description of the agreement’s purpose. For example, the new agreement includes more elaboration in the recitals and purpose sections by referencing the purpose of the Metro Agreement. The title of the new agreement is changed to “Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement Metro Wastewater JPA.” They also requested a change to title of group formed by the agreement, to “Metro Wastewater JPA.” The actual purpose, intent and result of the agreement remains the same as that previously approved by the Board. The Metro Wastewater JPA includes the authority and responsibility to take actions and make decisions pertaining to their mutual interest in the Metro Agreement. Most participating agencies have or are will approve the agreement. However, The City of Chula Vista City Council did not approve the agreement because they saw no advantage of joining the JPA at this time. County Counsel has reviewed the changes to the agreement and determined they are not substantial, but recommended the agreement returned to the Board for reapproval. Staff recommends the Board and Sanitation Districts reapprove the agreement. This action will enable the County to continue to work with other participating agencies in providing oversight of the City of San Diego’s operation at Metro. FISCAL IMPACT: Funds for this request are available in the Alpine, Lakeside and Spring Valley Sanitation Districts and Winter Gardens Sewer Maintenance District fund balances. If approved, annual costs would be limited to a fair share of the JPA’s administrative expenses not related to bond sales. Administrative expense is anticipated to remain nearly the same as current AFFORD administrative costs, at approximately $26,000 annually. The County will not be responsible for any bond financing. This request will require no additional staff years and will have no impact on the General Fund. RECOMMENDATION: CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER: 1. Find this action is exempt from environmental review under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because there is no possibility the activity in question may have a significant impact on the environment. 2. Approve and authorize the Clerk of the Board to execute, upon receipt, the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement to form the Metro Wastewater JPA on behalf of Alpine Sanitation District, Lakeside Sanitation District, Spring Valley Sanitation District, and Winter Gardens Sewer Maintenance District. (Relates to Board of Supervisors Agenda Item No. 6) ACTION: ON MOTION of Director Horn, seconded by Director Cox, the Board of Directors took action as recommended, on Consent.

ADMINISTRATIVE ITEM: SUNSET REVIEW OF BOARD OF SUPERVISORS POLICIES, COUNTY CODE OF REGULATORY ORDINANCES, AND ADMINISTRATIVE CODES ASSIGNED TO DEPARTMENTS WITHIN THE LAND USE AND ENVIRONMENT GROUP, AND ANIMAL CONTROL (Supv. Dist: All) OVERVIEW: On November 1, 2000 (1), your Board introduced Ordinances for further Board consideration on November 15, 2000. On December 8, 1998 (53), the Board of Supervisors approved the current Sunset Review Process, which is based on a seven year review cycle of the Administrative Code, Board of Supervisors Policies and the San Diego County Code of Regulatory Ordinances. Department heads are responsible for ensuring ordinances, policies and resolutions relevant to their respective department are kept current. Sunset Review items are presented to the Board in increments for approval as they reach sunset dates. FISCAL IMPACT: The requested action will have no current year or annual cost, and will not require any additional staff years. BUSINESS IMPACT STATEMENT: Amendments to Division 1 of Title 6 will have a positive impact on the business community. Food retailers are subject to the California Uniform Food Facilities law. Amendments will repeal County Code sections no longer required or necessary, allowing for simplification of compliance for these businesses without compromising public health.
