SUBJECT:

IN-HOME SUPPORTIVE SERVICES PUBLIC AUTHORITY IMPLEMENTATION (DISTRICT: ALL)
 

OVERVIEW:

In July 1999, the Governor signed legislation (AB 1682, Chapter 90, Statutes of 1999) mandating the formation of an employer of record for the In-Home Supportive Services Program (IHSS). The law also required the formation of a committee to advise the County on the preferred mode or modes of service needed to establish the employer of record.  On May 16, 2000 (6), the Board directed the Chief Administrative Officer to appoint the IHSS Advisory Committee.  On October 17, 2000 (3) Supervisors Jacob and Roberts brought forward the IHSS Advisory Committee’s recommendation to establish a public authority to serve as the IHSS employer of record to administer a mixed mode approach for the County of San Diego, featuring a public authority and contracts and directed the Chief Administrative Officer to return with a draft public authority ordinance. 

On February 13, 2001 (8), the Board received the draft public authority ordinance and directed the Chief Administrative Officer to form an implementation team and return to the Board in 90-120 days with final recommendations for the formation of the IHSS Public Authority.  This item responds to that direction and brings forward the County of San Diego In-Home Supportive Services Public Authority Ordinance, the Employer-Employee Relations Resolution for the public authority, and identifies funding for the administrative costs necessary to initiate the public authority.  This item requests Board authorization to recruit and hire an executive director and perform other steps necessary to implement the public authority.

This item requests approval to issue a request for proposals for a human resources consultant to establish the personnel structure for the public authority and a request for proposals for personnel/payroll services to manage these responsibilities for the Authority administrative staff.  This item also requests approval for a meeting stipend for IHSS Advisory Committee members.
 

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funding for this request is not included in the FY 2001-02 Proposed Operational Plan.  If approved, this request will result in $2,923,764 cost and revenue in FY 2001-02.  The funding sources are the State Department of Social Services and Social Services Realignment revenue.  There will be no change in net General Fund cost and no additional County staff years.
 

RECOMMENDATION:

SUBJECT:

COMMUNITY SERVICES BLOCK GRANT - 2002-03 COMMUNITY ACTION PLAN (DISTRICT: ALL)
 

OVERVIEW:

The County of San Diego is the region's designated Community Action Agency and is eligible to receive Community Services Block Grant revenue, subject to submission to the State of a Community Action Plan.   At present, the State Department of Community Services and Development requires that the Community Action Plan cover a two-year period, 2002 and 2003.

The Board of Supervisors approved the plan for the years 2000 and 2001 on June 29, 1999 (31).  Board action is requested today to approve a new two-year plan that continues the successful overall strategy developed originally for the 1996 plan.  The strategy supports the CalWORKs Welfare-to-Work program and provides for service delivery in each of the Health and Human Service Agency’s six geographic service delivery regions.

The anticipated Community Services Block Grant revenue for the year 2002 is $2.9 million. The purpose of the revenue, as specified by federal and State law, is to assist low-income persons and welfare recipients to become self-sufficient.  The County meets this purpose through contracts with community-based agencies operating the Family Self-Sufficiency program.  The program assists families to remove barriers and develop skills that enable them to function without public assistance or the need for government interventions.  Outcomes are measured in terms of gains in family stability and self-sufficiency.

This item supports the Self Sufficiency Initiative of the County’s strategic plan by helping county residents to take responsibility for themselves and their dependent family members.
 

FISCAL IMPACT:

These funds are included in the fiscal year 2001-02 Proposed Operational Plan.  If approved, this request will result in cost and revenue of $2,931,773.  The funding source is the Community Services Block Grant.  There will be no change in net General Fund cost and no additional staff. 
 

RECOMMENDATION:

CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER

1.      Approve and authorize submission of the County of San Diego Community Action Plan for 2002 and 2003 to the State Department of Community Services and Development.

2.      Authorize the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors to execute the certification on the cover page of the Community Action Plan for 2002 and 2003.
 

ACTION:

ON MOTION of Supervisor Slater, seconded by Supervisor Jacob, the Board of Supervisors took action as recommended, on Consent.

AYES:  Cox, Jacob, Slater, Roberts, Horn
 

 

3.

SUBJECT:

ADULT-OLDER ADULT MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES - REQUEST FOR BIOPSYCHOSOCIAL REHABILITATION SERVICES (DISTRICT:  1, 2, 3, 4)
 

OVERVIEW:

On August 10, 1999 (9), the Board approved the System Redesign Implementation Plan for the Health and Human Services Agency, Adult-Older Adult Mental Health Services.  The plan redesigns the existing mental health services to incorporate a rehabilitation and recovery focus and includes a series of competitive procurements for services as identified in the plan, in the six regions of the Health and Human Services Agency.  The Board also authorized the competitive procurement of adult-older adult mental health outpatient, rehabilitation services in the North Coastal and North Inland Regions, resulting in award of a contract with services to be in place by June 2001.

If approved, today’s request will authorize the next two competitive procurements for selected services in the East, North Central and Central Regions, to be conducted incrementally.  Continuing to implement redesigned mental health services will advance the health and wellness initiative in the County’s strategic plan to promote wellness among all County residents by seeking to increase the availability, quality and timeliness of mental health services.
 

FISCAL IMPACT:

These funds are included in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2001-02 Proposed Operational Plan.  If approved, this request will result in FY 2001-02 cost and revenue of $8,254,855 and in subsequent years cost and revenue of $8,254,855.  The funding sources are State Mental Health Realignment, Short/Doyle Medi-Cal Federal Financial Participation, Conditional Release Program (CONREP) and Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).  There will be no change in net General Fund cost and no additional staff years.
 

RECOMMENDATION:

SUBJECT:

COMPETITIVE PROCUREMENT OF DAY TREATMENT SERVICES FOR SERIOUSLY EMOTIONALLY DISTURBED STUDENTS IN NORTH COUNTY (DISTRICT: 2, 3 AND 5)
 

OVERVIEW:

On November 10, 1998 (3), the Board authorized the amendment of existing contracts with mental health day treatment providers to meet service needs for seriously emotionally disturbed children and adolescents, including Assembly Bill 2726 students.  The County Health and Human Services Agency, Children's Mental Health Services, under the provisions of Assembly Bill 2726 enacted in 1996, is legally responsible for providing a mental health assessment and if indicated, providing mental health services to special education students.  As per State criteria, these students are unable to benefit from their education due to severe mental health needs and are referred to the Children’s Mental Health Services (CMHS) AB2726 program by school districts throughout San Diego County and the County Office of Education.  CMHS recommendations for mental health services are listed on the student’s Individualized Education Program (IEP) and are therefore legally binding. The Health and Human Services Agency, (CMHS), in collaboration with the Poway, North Coastal, and North Inland Special Education Local Planning Areas (SELPA), has determined that additional mental health day treatment service capacity is required to meet the current need for mental health services for AB2726 qualified elementary school students in North County.  Today's request is for authorization for two items: 1) To competitively procure the required additional 12 elementary school age student targeted day treatment slots in the North County; 2) To competitively re-procure the existing Poway, North Coastal, and North Inland day treatment program with capacity of 27 eligible AB2726 middle school and high school age students.

Implementation of the proposed program supports the goals identified in the County of San Diego Strategic Plan, by promoting wellness among all county residents by placing a priority on healthy behaviors.
 

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funding for required services in the amount of $483,388 have been included in the Chief Administrative Officer's proposed Fiscal Year 2001-03 Operational Plan.  If approved, this request will result in up to $771,888 in Fiscal Year 2001-2002 cost and revenues and up to $784,710 in Fiscal Year 2002-2003 cost and revenues.  The funding sources are Tobacco Settlement, AB2726, and SB90 revenues.  If approved, this request will result in no change in net County General Fund cost and no change in County staff years.
 

RECOMMENDATION:

OVERVIEW:

Since 1994, the State of California has allocated State and federal substance abuse funds to counties through a funding mechanism known as the combined Negotiated Net Amount and Drug Medi-Cal revenue contract.  On July 14, 1998 (34), the Board approved the Multi-year Revenue Assessment to the combined Negotiated Net Amount and Drug Medi-Cal revenue contract with the State, which provided funding for County Alcohol and Drug Services for Fiscal Years 1998-99 through 2000-01.  This item requests Board approval to authorize a new three-year revenue contract with the State for Fiscal Years 2001-02 through 2003-04.  Revenue from this agreement will be used to fund the array of alcohol and drug services included in the Operational Plan. 

This item supports the Crime Prevention and Health & Wellness Initiatives in the County’s strategic plan by providing various types and levels of alcohol and drug prevention, treatment and recovery services.
 

FISCAL IMPACT:

These funds are included in the proposed Operating Plan for FY 2001-02.  If approved, this request will result in revenues of $23,520,339 that require matching General Revenues of $299,543, which will be used to fund budgeted costs of $23,819,882.  The funding source is the State of California Alcohol and Drug Program.  There is no change in net General Fund cost and no additional staff years.

OVERVIEW:

SHERIFF – OPTION TO PURCHASE A BUILD-TO-SUIT SHERIFF'S SUBSTATION AT 426 EAST ALVARADO STREET, FALLBROOK (DISTRICT: 5)
 

OVERVIEW:

On December 2, 1997 (23), at the request of Supervisor Bill Horn and Sheriff William Kolender, the Board of Supervisors directed that the Department of General Services identify potential sites in the Fallbrook area for replacement of the existing inadequate Sheriff's substation.  On June 13, 2000 (1), the Board approved a Lease/Purchase Agreement for a 10,000 square foot build-to-suit Sheriff substation to be located near the northwest corner of Alvarado and Vine Streets in Fallbrook.  Under the terms of the Agreement, the County has the option of purchasing the facility within 90 days of completion of construction. The original contract purchase price was $2,560,758.  Construction of the substation is scheduled for completion in mid-July 2001. The Board is requested to set a hearing date for July 10, 2001 to consider exercising the option to purchase the facility from Dealy Development, Inc., the project developer, and Fallbrook LLC, the property owner.  The Board is also requested to approve a First Amendment to the Lease/Purchase agreement, which increases the purchase price by $108,231 to $2,668,989, to fund unanticipated site development costs and County-requested change orders.   
 

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funds for this request are partially budgeted. Should the Board approve exercising the option to purchase the property on July 10, 2001, the balance of funds required for the purchase are budgeted in Capital Project Account KK9512.  With approval of the First Amendment, the original contract purchase price of $2,560,758 will be increased by $108,231 to $2,668,989.  If today's request is approved, the total budget for the Sheriff's Fallbrook Substation project KK9512 will increase to $2,756,505.  Funds, in the amount of $87,516, which exceed the revised contract purchase price of $2,668,989 are being used to fund County support staff services and phone/data systems costs for the new substation.  Today’s request will result in a current year cost of $108,231, no annual cost, and will require no additional staff years.

SUBJECT:

CAMPO JUVENILE RANCH FACILITY RENOVATIONS AND BARRETT YOUTH CORRECTIONAL CENTER RENOVATIONS MAJOR CHANGE ORDER 1 (DISTRICT 2)
 

OVERVIEW:

This is a request to approve two major change orders for renovations at Campo Juvenile Ranch Facility and Barrett Youth Correctional Center. Your Board approved these projects as part of the Capital Improvement Plan, Deferred Major Maintenance Program on May 8, 1999 (23).  The construction projects were awarded in January 2001 and work started in February 2001.  Both projects are on schedule with completion at Campo expected in July and Barrett in October.

The Probation Department received state grant funds for renovations at both facilities. At the time of the grant approval several additional items were earmarked for major maintenance projects to proceed later or during the grant renovation project.

Funding for the additional improvements will come from savings in related projects for each facility.  The work at the Campo Juvenile Ranch Facility will correct existing conditions and protect the facility from the extensive vermin damage it has been receiving.  The work at the Barrett Youth Correctional Center will provide accessibility to the fire department in case of a fire.  This additional work will greatly increase the security of the Probation Department’s investments at these two camps.
 

FISCAL IMPACT:

The funds for this request are budgeted in the Major Maintenance Projects.  If approved, this request will result in $226,565 in current year costs, no annual costs, and will require the addition of no staff years.  The $112,00 for Campo is from savings in a related project and from funds set aside for the fascia removals.  The $114,565 for Barrett is from savings in a related project and from the funds set aside for the fire road.
 

RECOMMENDATION:

CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER

1.      Approve and authorize the execution, by the Director, Department of Purchasing and Contracting, of Major Change Order No. 1 to Contract No. 44855 with First Enterprise, for the Campo Juvenile Ranch Facility, Project MP0411, in an amount not to exceed $112,000.  (4 VOTES)

OVERVIEW:

On May 1, 2001 (6), the Board of Supervisors adopted a Resolution of intention to sell real property, notice inviting bids (deferred payments terms),  and set a hearing for June 12, 2001.

The County of San Diego owns a parcel in the 9100 block of Ildica Street in Spring Valley that was acquired for the extension of Ildica Street and is now considered to be excess to County needs.  The Department of General Services is requesting that this property be declared surplus and be offered for sale to the highest bidder.
 

FISCAL IMPACT:

If approved, and if an all-cash sale is consummated, this request will result in approximately $30,000 in current revenue to the Department of Public Works Road Fund, no annual revenue, and the addition of no staff years.  Alternatively, if a terms sale is consummated, this request will result in approximately $6,000 in current-year revenue,  $2,160 in annual interest-payment revenue for a period of up to five years, the pay-off of the principal balance of approximately $24,000 at the end of five years or less, and the addition of no staff years.

Business Impact Statement If this sale is consummated, the existing zoning would allow one single-family dwelling to be built, providing an opportunity for new construction activity.

SUBJECT:

AUTHORITY TO BID AND AWARD A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT FOR THE INSTALLATION OF A NEW ROOFING SYSTEM ON THE COUNTY OPERATIONS CENTER ANNEX, MAIN BUILDING.  (DISTRICT:  4)
 

OVERVIEW:

On May 22, 2001 (34) your Board directed the Chief Administrative Officer to specify all future buildings incorporate roofing material that meets the Energy Star criteria and pursue incentives from AB 970 Cool Roof Program. The specified roofing material for this project complies with the State of California Cool Roof retrofit program. A Grant application for incentives has been submitted to the San Diego Regional Energy Office for review.

The existing roofing system on the County Operations Center Annex, Main building, has numerous leak areas and the roofing system requires total replacement.  General Services has performed a comprehensive roof system inspection and basic cost/benefit analysis to determine if repairs could be made and, thereby, mitigate wholesale replacement.  The results of this inspection show that the existing two layers of Cold Process roofing that covers the Main building has outlived the projected lifespan and are in a general state of deterioration.  Extensive repairs and maintenance would be costly and temporary, adding no true value to the life expectancy of this roof system.  The installation of a new roofing system is the best long-term solution to properly protect this facility.

The construction bid documents for this re-roofing project are complete.  This request seeks the authority for the advertisement and award of a construction contract, currently estimated at $ 1,107,077.
 

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funds for this project are available in the Major Maintenance Fund, Project MM1646.  Estimated roof replacement cost is $ 1,107,077.  No additional staff years are required.
 

RECOMMENDATION:

CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER

1.    Find in accordance to section 15301, of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, that this project is categorically exempt since it pertains to alteration of existing structures.

2.    Authorize the Director of Purchasing and Contracting to take any action authorized by Section 403 of the Administrative Code, with respect to contracting for subject public works project.

3.    Designate the Director of General Services as the County Officer responsible for the administration of this contract.
