  OVERVIEW:
 

The County, in its support of the delivery of indigent health care services throughout the County, provides annual funding to East County Community Health Clinic (ECCC) and to other private non-profit community health clinics in the County. 

The Health and Human Services Agency’s El Cajon Public Health Center is co-located with ECCC, at 855 East Madison Avenue, El Cajon.  This co-location was first envisioned by Second District Supervisor Dianne Jacob in Board action that was approved on June 1, 1993 (35).  The El Cajon facility is owned by ECCC and the County occupies its portion of the building under a lease agreement with ECCC.

The Board is requested to approve a lease amendment that will allow ECCC to refinance an existing $400,000 loan.  This will assist ECCC in maintaining financial stability and viability, and to continue with its delivery of health services to the East County community.  This action is consistent with the Health & Wellness Initiative of the County’s Strategic Plan.
 

  FISCAL IMPACT:
 

No funding or staff years are required for this proposal.

SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT - COLD HIT PROGRAM GRANT FROM THE CALIFORNIA OFFICE OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE PLANNING (DISTRICT: ALL)
 

  OVERVIEW:
 

This is a request to authorize the Sheriff’s Crime Laboratory to participate in the California Cold Hit Program and thereby, ratify the submission and authorize the acceptance of the California Cold Hit Program grant from the California Office of Criminal Justice Planning.  Participation in this grant program will allow the Sheriff’s Department through the Crime Laboratory to support a statewide effort in expanding forensic DNA databases.  Such participation can result in substantial value to our county and state in solving cases of rape and murder where there is biological evidence and no suspect.  The project has the enormous potential of solving longtime unsolved cases and could save hundreds to thousands of hours in investigative time.

This request will result in $18,900 current year direct costs and revenue, and $129,900 in annual costs.  Funding for Fiscal Year 2000-2001 will consist of $1,200 in grant funds and $17,700 from an Operating Transfer in the Sheriff’s Asset Forfeiture fund.  Funding for Fiscal Year 2001-2001 will consist of $40,500 in grant funds and $89,400 in Sheriff’s Asset Forfeiture funds.
 

  FISCAL IMPACT:

The Sheriff’s Law Enforcement Bureau will give top priority to funding the two (2) Criminalists positions permanently in the 2002-2003 budget request. This request will require the addition of 2 positions (.167 staff years in Fiscal Year 2000-2001 and 2 staff years annualized).
