 LIGHTING THE WAY TO ENERGY INDEPENDENCE-ELIMINATING FEES AND STREAMLINING PERMITS FOR PHOTOVOLTAIC ENERGY SYSTEMS

OVERVIEW:

Sunshine is one of San Diego’s most precious resources.  Our sunny weather adds to our quality of life and makes our region a world-renowned tourist destination.  Now our famous sunshine may also help us do something more -- enhance our energy independence.

Due to the energy crisis that California is currently experiencing, this Board of Supervisors is actively seeking ways to assist the public with obtaining reliable and economical energy.  Part of the solution is to help make alternative energy sources -- like solar photovoltaic systems which convert the sun’s radiation into electric power -- more viable.  Our climate and the rising costs of traditional energy sources make installation of solar photovoltaic energy systems a reliable and environmentally friendly alternative that San Diego residents should consider for their homes and businesses.

This letter proposes to encourage use of photovoltaic energy systems by directing the Chief Administrative Officer to eliminate the fees for obtaining permits for solar photovoltaic energy systems, and to streamline the process for plan review and building permits.

None by this action.

SUPERVISOR ROBERTS:
Direct the Chief Administrative Officer to do the following:

1. Draft an ordinance amending the County Administrative Code to eliminate the  building permit fee for photovoltaic electrical installations;

2. Review current County regulations and procedures in order to streamline the permitting process for photovoltaic electrical installations;

3. Report back to the Board within 60 days with the ordinance and an update on improvements made to the photovoltaic electrical installation permit process; and

4. Draft a letter for the Chairman’s signature to the 18 cities in the region encouraging them to adopt similar incentives to encourage installation and use of photovoltaic electrical systems.

“SAFE COMMUNITY PROJECT” FOR MENTALLY ILL                                                      INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES IN NORTH SAN DIEGO                                                            COUNTY

(Supv. Dist:   5 )

The State of California Supported Housing Initiative Act of 1998 provided new opportunities for counties to secure grant funding for projects to reduce homelessness and promote rehabilitation for the State’s most vulnerable mentally ill populations.  With the Board’s April 4, 2000 (1) authorization to apply for current and future grants for housing needs for the mentally ill in San Diego County, the Health and Human Services Agency applied for and was awarded a three-year $450,000 Supported Housing Initiative Act (SHIA) grant for low-income, homeless mentally ill youth.  Following implementation of this initial SHIA grant, the Agency, in collaboration with the North County Interfaith Council, Inc., responded to a second State SHIA Request for Applications.  On May 4, 2001, the Agency was awarded a three-year $915,001 award for a North County permanent supported housing project, the Safe Community Project, targeting low-income homeless families and individuals impacted by one or more disabilities, including mental illness, substance abuse and other health conditions.

The Safe Community Project will provide a minimum of 56 mentally ill individuals and their families permanent housing, fully coordinated intensive case management and other services.  The project goal is to establish stable environments where clients will maintain permanent housing, increase their independence and self-sufficiency, reduce psychiatric hospitalization, decrease involvement with the criminal justice system and improve the quality of their life.

Board action is requested to accept State grant funding for the project, authorize agreements with the State’s SHIA lead agency, the California Department of Mental Health, approve the project design, appropriate funding and authorize the Department of Purchasing and Contracting to enter into negotiations with and subject to successful negotiations, execute a contract with the North County Interfaith Council, Inc

Funds for this request are not included in the FY 2001-03 Operational Plan.  If approved, this request will result in cost and revenue of $321,667 in FY 2001-02, cost and revenue of $296,667 in FY 2002-03 and cost and revenue of $296,667 in FY 2003-04 for a total of $915,001 over the three-year grant period.  The funding source is the California Department of Mental Health.  There will be no change in the net General Fund cost and no additional staff years.

CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER:

1. Accept the California Department of Mental Health grant funds of $915,001 for the period June 1, 2001 through June 30, 2004, which resulted from the successful Supportive Housing Initiative Act grant application.

2. Approve in concept the proposed project model for the Safe Community Project.

3.Authorize the Clerk of the Board to execute any necessary agreements and certifications with the California Department of Mental Health for a three-year revenue contract for a Supportive Housing Initiative Act project in San Diego’s North County area.

4.Waive Board Policy B-29, Fees, Grants, Revenue Contracts – Department Responsibility for Cost Recovery.

6. 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 Contractor Pursuant to Charter Section 703.10),            authorize the Director, Purchasing and Contracting, to enter into negotiations and subject to successful negotiations and determination of a fair and reasonable price, execute a sole source contract with North County Interfaith Council, Inc. for housing and supportive services for the Safe Community Project enrollees for the period July 1, 2001 through June 30, 2004, and one option year through June 30, 2005, and up to an additional six months if needed to amend the contract as required for changes to funding and services, subject to the approval of the Director, Health and Human Services Agency, and availability of funding.

ADMINISTRATIVE ITEM:

SECOND CONSIDERATION AND ADOPTION OF ORDINANCES:

AMENDMENTS TO THE COMPENSATION ORDINANCE             RELATING TO TENTATIVE AGREEMENT PENDING             RATIFICATION FOR ELEVEN EMPLOYEE BARGAINING             UNITS REPRESENTED BY SERVICE EMPLOYEES             INTERNATIONAL UNION, LOCAL 2028, AFL-CIO, CLC(Supv. Dist:  All )

OVERVIEW:

On July 11, 2001 (17), your Board introduced Ordinance for further Board consideration and adoption on July 17, 2001.

This action: 1) presents Compensation Ordinance amendments for a first reading of negotiated provisions in four Memoranda of Agreement between the County and the Service Employees International Union, Local 2028, AFL-CIO, CLC currently undergoing the ratification process; 2) adds equity adjustments for specific classes; and 3) adds premiums and other benefits.

Tentative Agreement was reached by County representatives with the Service Employees International Union, Local 2028, AFL-CIO, CLC on July 3, 2001.  The agreement is for a five-year term.

The Tentative Agreement is now undergoing the ratification process.  On-site voting is  under way at County worksites and will continue until July 16, 2001.  The Union will inform the County of the results of the voting by noon on July 16.  The Memoranda of Agreement for all units that ratify will be presented to your Board for consideration and approval on July 17, 2001.

The agreement includes, among other wage and benefit improvements, major enhancements to employee retirement benefits. The requirements of the 1937 Retirement Act makes the implementation of retirement benefit improvements contingent upon the resolution of negotiations with all employee unions in order to implement the improvements Countywide. This could delay the date of implementation.  However, if all contingencies are met, the conversion of Tier II to Tier I will occur October 19, 2001 and the new enhanced Tier A will become effective March 8, 2002 following an open enrollment period November 1, 2001 through January 31, 2002.

The agreement also includes March 31, Cesar Chavez Day as a new, fixed holiday. The implementation of this holiday is also contingent upon resolution of negotiations with all employee unions so the County may close all facilities normally closed on holidays.
