SUBJECT:

COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT WITH SAN PASQUAL BAND OF MISSION INDIANS FOR CASINO-RELATED ROAD IMPROVEMENTS (DISTRICT: 5)
 

Several San Diego County Indian Bands have signed Tribal State Gaming Compacts with Governor Gray Davis, which allow them to build up to two Class III casinos on their reservations.  The casinos will have significant impacts on County roads; therefore the County intends to work with each of the Gaming Tribes to develop agreements to ensure that impacts are adequately mitigated.  The Agreement before the Board today is the second of what staff hopes will be negotiated with each of the Gaming Tribes whose projects impact County resources and infrastructure.

The San Pasqual Band of Mission Indians is one of the 12 Bands in the county that have signed a Tribal State Gaming Compact. San Pasqual reservation is located in the unincorporated area of North San Diego County in the vicinity of the community of Valley Center. San Pasqual Band opened their interim casino on April 18, 2001 and plans to begin construction of their permanent casino later this year. Access to San Pasqual Band’s gaming projects is via Lake Wohlford Road, which is within the County maintained system and partly within the City of Escondido (Escondido).  San Pasqual Band has no obligation to seek County approval before constructing casinos, however, recognizing that its casino projects have significant impacts on Lake Wohlford Road, the Band initiated the drafting of an agreement to voluntarily contribute funding toward Lake Wohlford Road improvements both in the County and in Escondido.

This is a request to approve a Cooperative Agreement (Agreement) with San Pasqual Band, where San Pasqual Band will contribute $6,149,349 for frontage and offsite improvements to Lake Wohlford Road to mitigate impacts from its casino traffic.  Of this amount, $807,905 is for frontage improvements in the County, $4,418,000 is for offsite improvements in the County, and $923,444 is for offsite improvements in Escondido.  This is the second such agreement entered into with a tribal band of Indians, with the Rincon Band agreement approved March 20, 2001 (12) being the first.
 

Funds for this request will be budgeted over the next two years, beginning in FY 01-02.  Funding source will be San Pasqual Band of Mission Indian contributions ($5,341,444). Not included in this total are San Pasqual Band frontage improvements along Lake Wohlford Road, which will be contracted and funded entirely by San Pasqual ($807,905) with no County cost or revenue. Approximate FY 2001-02 year cost and revenue will be $1,350,000. Approximate FY 2002-03 cost and revenue will be $3,991,444. No additional staff years will be required.

RECOMMENDATION:

SUBJECT:

ALCOHOL AND DRUG SCREENING AND BRIEF INTERVENTION PROJECT CONTRACT (DISTRICT: ALL)
 

The Board of Supervisors has adopted a comprehensive approach to reduce the economic and social impacts of alcohol and other drug use across the region.  A key element of the strategy is a partnership with the healthcare sector to integrate Screening and Brief Intervention services with medical care.  Research has documented that for every dollar invested in Screening and Brief Intervention services five dollars and sixty cents is saved for taxpayers and healthcare providers.

On October 31, 2000 (9), the Board authorized a contract agreement with the Healthcare Association of San Diego and Imperial Counties for FY 2000-01 to facilitate knowledge development, promotion, and expansion of Screening and Brief Intervention services throughout the healthcare system in San Diego County.

If approved, today’s action will authorize the Director of the Department of Purchasing and Contracting to negotiate, and upon successful negotiations, continue this agreement through FY 2001-02 with one option year, to continue development, implementation, and expansion of the Board-supported Screening and Brief Intervention services initiative in partnership with the healthcare and other community sectors in San Diego County.

This item supports the Health and Wellness Initiative of the County’s strategic plan by placing a priority on healthy behaviors and preventative care and by expanding access to health and behavior health services.
 

Funds for this request are included in the FY 2001-02 Operational Plan.  If approved, this will result in Fiscal Year 2001-02 costs and revenue of $796,000.  The funding source is federal Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment funds.  There is no change in net General Fund cost and this will not require additional staff years.
 

CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER

In accordance with Board Policy A-87, Competitive Procurement, and Board Policy A-96, Sequence for Obtaining a Chief Administrative Officer Determination Regarding Economy and Efficiency of Independent Contractors pursuant to Charter Section 703.10, approve and authorize the Director, Department of Purchasing and Contracting to negotiate with the Healthcare Association of San Diego and Imperial Counties to continue promotion, knowledge development and implementation of Screening and Brief Intervention Services and award a contract for the period of July 1, 2001, through June 30, 2002, with a one year option, and up to six additional months if necessary, and to amend the contract as may be necessary to reflect changes in funding allocation and in service requirements, subject to a determination of fair and reasonable price, and approval of the Health and Human Services Agency Director.  Waive the advertising requirement of A-87.

SUBJECT:

SHERIFF 800 MHZ REGIONAL COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM (RCS) CUSTOMER AGENCIES AGREEMENTS; RCS TRUST FUND; RCS NETWORK OPERATING COST FEES AND FY 01-02 BUDGET; LOST/FOUND RADIO REWARD PROGRAM; B-29 OVERHEAD COSTS (DISTRICT: ALL)
 

At the direction of the RCS Board of Directors, agreements have been developed to formalize the use of the RCS network by the City of Lemon Grove and 18 customer agencies.  Lemon Grove will finance its principal share ($507,985) of the RCS network infrastructure over 14 years, with annual payments of $53,473 commencing in May 2001.  This is conditioned on the waiver of past RCS interest costs in the amount of $124,906.  The agreement will provide Lemon Grove with full partnership in the RCS.  The 18 customer agencies have each signed non-partner customer agreements for RCS network use.  These  agreements will result in $181,741 recurring annual revenue to the RCS program, assuming the number of subscriber units remains the same.  The RCS Board of Directors recommends Board of Supervisors approval of these agreements.

Establishment of RCS Trust Fund

The RCS Board of Directors requests the establishment of an interest bearing Trust Fund to assist in funding the ongoing enhancement and eventual replacement of the RCS infrastructure.  The RCS Trust Fund would be initially funded with $308,122 of over-realized FY 99-00 Network Operating Cost (NOC) revenue collected from RCS agencies. Over-realized revenue from FY 00-01 will also be deposited into the Trust Fund.

Establishment of FY 01-02, RCS/NOC fees and RCS FY 01-02 budget

The RCS Board of Directors recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve  the FY 01-02 monthly RCS charges per radio for participating member agencies and the RCS FY 01-02 budget. 

Establishment of a reward program for return of lost/found RCS radios

At the direction of the RCS Board of Directors, an RCS Lost/Found Radio Reward Program has been developed to encourage the return of misplaced or stolen RCS affiliated radios.  The estimated $1,500 annual cost of this program will be shared by all RCS subscribers as part of their monthly Network Operating Cost (NOC).  The RCS Board of Directors recommends Board of Supervisors approval of this program.

Waiver of full cost recovery of B-29 overhead costs for RCS program

The RCS Board of Directors recommends the permanent waiver of  overhead costs for the RCS program, except vehicle, telephone, mail/postage service, rents/leases, facilities maintenance, utilities and other services/supplies overhead costs which have been approved by the RCS Board of Directors and are currently being paid.  Other overhead costs have not been assessed on the RCS program in the past, and this request is for the Board of Supervisors to permanently waive this requirement.

Use of RCS by Public Safety Agencies during Santana and Granite Hills High School incidents

The recent tragic shooting events at Santana and Granite Hills high schools have underscored the effectiveness of the RCS as a command and control tool for public safety agencies.  Numerous agencies responding to these events were able to communicate effectively with each other and provide critical public safety services to the citizens affected by these tragedies.

RCS Strategic Vision

The RCS supports the County’s Strategic Initiative to strengthen county-wide efforts to make the region a safer place to live and visit by increasing community accountability for public safety.  The RCS is administered by the RCS Board of Directors who represent the numerous agencies throughout the County that utilize this regional public safety communications system.  The RCS greatly benefits the citizens of the County of San Diego.
 

Recommendations 1 and 2

The $177,918 in FY 01-02 overhead costs of the RCS program will continue to be absorbed by the County of San Diego General Fund as they have been since the RCS program began in 1995.  The exceptions will be vehicle, telephone, mail/postage service, rents/leases, facilities maintenance, utilities and other services/supplies overhead costs which have been approved by the RCS Board of Directors and are currently being paid.

Funds coming from the City of Lemon Grove will benefit the County General Fund by reducing the County share of ongoing network operational costs that support the Sheriff’s Department Wireless Services Unit budget.  In accordance with the March 1995 RCS Agreement, Lemon Grove has agreed to pay $507,985 of principal towards the infrastructure of the RCS in exchange for full partnership in the RCS, conditioned on the waiver of past RCS interest costs in the amount of $124,906.  The County is currently paying the debt service payment for this principal amount.  Upon Board of Supervisors approval, Lemon Grove will pay $507,985 amortized over 14 years at 5.65% interest.  Their first annual payment in the amount of $53,473 will be made in May 2001.  Lemon Grove will also assume ongoing RCS NOC charges of approximately $30,538 per year, depending on the number of radios used.  Additionally, Lemon Grove will pay RCS NOC charges of $44,492 for the period of time they have already used the RCS network.

Recommendation 5

Per the attached RCS Customer Service Agreements, 18 new customer agencies have agreed to pay a monthly fee to receive RCS service.  These agencies will generate approximately $181,741 in FY 00-01 NOC revenue.  Additionally, these agencies will pay approximately $47,277 in RCS NOC charges for the period of time they have already used the RCS network.  This will result in approximately $229,018 of FY 00-01 RCS NOC over-realized revenue.

Recommendation 6

The fiscal impact of future agreements with new RCS agencies will be presented annually to Board of Supervisors for approval.

Recommendations 7 and 8

The RCS Trust Fund will be funded with $308,122 from over-realized FY 99-00, RCS/NOC revenue collected from RCS agencies; and over-realized FY 00-01, RCS/NOC revenue from Lemon Grove and 18 RCS non-partner customer agencies.

Recommendation 9

The FY 01-02 monthly RCS charges per radio will generate $1,540,016 in revenue from non-County agencies utilizing the RCS network.

Recommendation 10

The cost of the $1,500 reward program for the return of lost/found RCS radios will be shared by all RCS subscribers as part of their monthly NOC charges.

On March 20, 2001 (19), the Board of Supervisors approved the extension of the contract with the North County Transit District (NCTD) authorizing the Sheriff’s Department to provide professional law enforcement services on the commuter train commonly referred to as “The Coaster.”  The contract originally became operative on February 23, 1995 and expires on June 30, 2001.  This Board letter requests authority to renew the current contract for another five years through the end of Fiscal Year 2005-06 (June 30, 2006).
 

Sheriff’s Department: Funds for this request have been included in the CAO Change Letter.  The funding source is unanticipated revenue of $689,487 from the North County Transit District.  If approved, this request will increase Fiscal Year 2001-02 direct cost of $139,584 and revenue of $148,968.   First subsequent year direct cost will be $74,847 and revenue of $148,968.  Excess revenue over direct cost offsets NCTD program increases for negotiated pay raises, benefit changes and internal & external overheads.  Cost and revenue amounts will be adjusted for negotiated salary increases, other cost adjustments or service level changes.  This action will require the addition of one staff year, effective July 1, 2001.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY CHILD SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM STAFFING (DISTRICT: ALL)
 

The District Attorney Child Support Enforcement Program is a fully revenue offset program.  This program has been highly successful in its delivery of services to over 100,000 families in the County of San Diego.  Collections have risen from $44,000,000 in 1994 to a projected $140,000,000 in the current fiscal year.  This program has benefited from utilizing of a large number of extremely motivated agency temporary staff and County employed temporary expert professional staff during these last few years of rapid growth.   As the program began to stabilize, the transition from the utilization of temporary staff to the hiring of permanent County staff positions has occurred in phases.  Today’s action will add 175 permanent positions to continue the transition and is consistent with State legislation requiring that the child support enforcement programs State-wide become less reliant on the use of temporary staff when transitioned to separate county department-level status.
 

Funds for this request are available in the current fiscal year and the annualized amount of $7.4 million is available in the FY 2001-02 CAO Proposed Operational Plan.  The funds would be used to continue the use of agency staff and temporary expert professionals if this action is not approved. The funding source is Title IV-D and State General Fund.  If approved, this request will result in the addition of 175 permanent staff years.
