AYES: Cox, Jacob, Slater, Roberts, Horn 2. SUBJECT: PROJECT CLEAN WATER STRATEGIC PLAN (Supv. Dist: All) OVERVIEW: Clean water is essential to health, habitat and a vital economy. There have been numerous issues raised regarding the quality of San Diego County’s beaches, bays, rivers and streams. In response to these issues, on July 11, 2000 (19), the Board directed the Chief Administrative Officer to initiate Project Clean Water. Project Clean Water was launched at the Clean Water Conference on October 18, 2000. On September 19, 2000 (13), the Board directed the Chief Administrative Officer to return to the Board with a completed Regional Clean Water Strategic Plan. Board action today is requested to approve and support the direction prescribed in this Regional Clean Water Strategic Plan. The vision of the Strategic Plan is "Clean Water through Local Commitment and Action." This underscores the basic principle of the project: clean water in San Diego County can only be achieved through the dedication, commitment and hard work of the people who live and work here. The Regional Clean Water Strategic Plan represents the effort of over 280 stakeholders from 78 different agencies, including representatives from all local jurisdictions, the business community, the military, environmental groups, consultants and community groups. FISCAL IMPACT: N/A BUSINESS IMPACT STATEMENT: Members of the business community are participants in Project Clean Water and have had input to the Strategic Plan. The concepts embraced by the Clean Water Strategic Plan promote a consolidated and consistent regional approach to achieve clean water, which the business community typically supports. In the upcoming year, further stakeholder outreach should gain additional support from the business community. RECOMMENDATION: 1. In accordance with Section 15061(b)(3) of the State of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, find that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment and that it is therefore not subject to the CEQA. 2. Approve and support the direction prescribed by the Regional Clean Water Strategic Plan. 3. Meet with Policy Advisory Committee members to gain input and support. 4. Adopt a resolution entitled “RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO IN SUPPORT OF PROJECT CLEAN WATER.” ACTION: ON MOTION of Supervisor Cox, seconded by Supervisor Roberts, the Board of Supervisors took action as recommended, on Consent, adopting Resolution No 01-188, entitled: RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO IN SUPPORT OF PROJECT CLEAN WATER; and directed the Chief Administrative Officer to establish a relationship with water conservation garden agencies to support educational efforts through the use of xeriscaping, a landscaping practice that conserves water usage. AYES: Cox, Jacob, Slater, Roberts, Horn 3. SUBJECT: A NEW APPROACH FOR RIDING AND HIKING TRAIL PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT: COUNTY TRAIL SYSTEM ASSESSMENT (CARRYOVER ITEM FROM 6/13/01, AGENDA NO. 12) (Supv. Dist: All) OVERVIEW: On September 13, 2000 (4), the Board directed the Chief Administrative Officer to proceed with a Countywide Trail System Assessment, developed with a consultant, and to return to the Board with the assessment and trail planning options. The purpose of the assessment was to assist the County to develop a comprehensive approach to trails. The outcome will be development and implementation of a long-range County Trail Program that satisfies community expectations. The assessment is complete and includes optional trail system concepts and implementation models. The County Trail System Assessment provides a full analysis of trail needs, planning opportunities, implementation methods, potential management structure and funding. An important part of the study was dialogue with Community Planning and Sponsor Groups throughout the county. A Trails interdepartmental team in the Land Use and Environment Group has reviewed the assessment. Recommendations contained in this item reflect determinations made by the team. Upon Board approval, staff will accomplish two important aspects of development of the Trails Strategic Plan. First, staff will prepare draft goals, policies, and strategies, consistent with trails on public and private lands, for both General Plan 2020 and a Community Trails Master Plan containing customized local community trail maps and plans. Second, staff will develop a plan that details program costs, funding sources and methods for implementation of a County Trail Program. General Plan 2020Findings in the Trail System Assessment validate the need for both regional connectivity trails and local community trail components within the County's trail program. The Trails System Assessment affirms that additional trail development will be needed to keep up with future population growth. It also shows that an insufficient amount of public land exists to meet future needs, and use of private lands will greatly increase the quality of the trail experience. Upon approval of recommended actions, staff will prepare draft goals, policies and strategies based on these findings, resulting in a comprehensive public and private land program. The plan will provide, within the General Plan, a vision and guidelines for the County Trail Program. Local community trail plans will be developed and approved outside the General Plan, for greater flexibility. The General Plan would include a Regional Trail Plan and Map, as well as general guidelines for community trail planning. A recommended Regional Trail Plan and Map to be included within General Plan 2020 will emphasize several major, recognized regional trail corridors, emphasizing connectivity. Preparation of General Plan element documents would also incorporate goals based upon a baseline level of service of 0.8 mile of trail per thousand population as a guide for trail development. This level of service reflects trails that are reasonably accessible and can accommodate future needs based on population growth. A draft of this vision will be circulated among community groups and brought to the Board in November 2001, with final adoption concurrent with General Plan 2020. Implementation PlanWith Board approval, staff will develop a plan for implementing the County Trail Program. This plan will detail estimated costs for administration, acquisition, construction, operations and maintenance of trail systems. Staff will also identify funding sources and present methods by which the county can accomplish the County Trail Program. This plan will be brought to the Board for consideration in September 2002, before final adoption of GP 2020. Working with Community Planning and Sponsor Groups, customized community trail maps and plans will be developed to provide connectivity and local trails. These local community trails would reside outside the General Plan, in a "Community Trails Master Plan" customized for each community and developed separately from General Plan 2020. This plan would include individual local community trails plans and be much easier than the General Plan for communities to amend as their needs evolve. Seven communities are already prepared to submit revised trails plans as part of this effort. Staff will work with them and the remaining groups to establish or expand customized local trail networks. FISCAL IMPACT: Preparation of trail documents and implementation planning are budgeted in the Department of Public Works Detailed Work Program in an amount of $150,000. Along with existing staff resources, this will suffice to accomplish tasks described in this letter. As part of this action, a plan for long-range costs and funding of a County Trails Program will be prepared. Those costs are not yet fully defined. Detailed cost and funding information for the trails program will be provided when this plan is brought before the Board. BUSINESS IMPACT STATEMENT: N/A. RECOMMENDATION: 1. Find, pursuant to Section 15262 of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, that neither an Environmental Impact Report nor a Negative Declaration is required for this project which relates only to feasibility and planning studies, and that environmental factors have been considered as stated in the staff report. 2. Receive the County Trail System Assessment report prepared by Estrada+KEA Partnership dated July 2, 2001 (Attachment A). 3. Direct the Chief Administrative Officer to prepare draft goals, policies, and strategies for both General Plan 2020 and the Community Trails Master Plan utilizing information from the Trails System Assessment, with a concept of trail development on public and private lands, Community Trail planning outside General Plan 2020, a baseline level of service, and incorporation of a Regional Corridor Trail Map and Plan into General Plan 2020; and bring to the Board in November 2001. 4. Direct the Chief Administrative Officer to prepare and recommend to the Board a County Trail Program plan that details costs, funding sources and methods and bring it back to the Board in September 2002, for implementation within the General Plan 2020 timeline. ACTION: ON MOTION of Supervisor Roberts, seconded by Supervisor Jacob, the Board of Supervisors took action as recommended; directed the Chief Administrative as follows: To include the Sweetwater Loop Trail and the north and south route of the Sweetwater River Trail in the strategic plan; Return to the Board in 45 days with recommendations on plan for repairs to the trails underneath Channel Road Bridge in Lakeside; and To explore the feasibility of turning the County-owned property adjacent to Channel Road Bridge into a staging area. AYES: Cox, Jacob, Slater, Roberts, Horn 4. SUBJECT: TRAFFIC ADVISORY COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS (Supv.

SUBJECT: SAN PASQUAL ACADEMY: RIGHT OF WAY AND CONTRACT CHANGE ORDER TO HANSON SJH CONSTRUCTION COMPANY FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO ACCESS ROADS (Supv. Dist: 2,5) OVERVIEW: On October 12, 1999 (1), the Board authorized purchase of the San Pasqual Academy property. The San Pasqual Academy is a unique residential education campus that will serve adolescents, age 14-18. The campus will provide a home where teens can learn the necessary social, vocational, and life skills they need to become happy, successful and productive adults. Three roads provide access to the Academy: Academy Drive, SR-78 and an unnamed access road linking these two. Improvements are needed to provide access for motorists and sidewalks for pedestrian use. Staff worked to coordinate these improvements with the City of San Diego and Caltrans, and have arranged for resurfacing of the access roads on site through a current resurfacing contract. Actions requested in this letter will enable staff to complete necessary work. This is a request to approve a change order with the County’s current resurfacing contractor, Hanson SJH Construction, in an amount not to exceed $644,600 to include improvements to access roads serving San Pasqual Academy. Board approval is requested for purchase and lease amendment for right of way, and ultimate transfer of easements to Caltrans for road purposes. FISCAL IMPACT: Funds for this request are not included in the FY 2001-02 Department of Public Works Operational Plan. If approved, this action will result in a current year cost of $713,100. Of this total, $644,600 will be for the road improvements. The remaining $68,500 will be for right of way acquisition from the City of San Diego, a Caltrans encroachment permit, lease amendment, and Department of Public Works design and staff support. Any unused funds will be reported to your Board for reallocation. Funding sources are funds encumbered and carried over from the FY 2000-01 Budget for the San Pasqual Academy ($250,000), transfers from the San Pasqual Capital Project ($300,000), and Tobacco Settlement Revenue ($163,100). There is no change in net General Fund cost and this request will not require additional staff years. BUSINESS IMPACT STATEMENT: N/A. RECOMMENDATION: 1. Find, in accordance with Section 15301 of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, proposed road improvements are categorically exempt from provisions of the CEQA since they consist of minor alterations involving negligible expansion of an existing use. 2. Cancel Appropriations and Related Donations from Private Party Revenue in the amount of $300,000 in the Capital Outlay Fund in Capital Project KK0789 (San Pasqual Academy). 3.

SUBJECT: ADMINISTRATIVE ITEM: SECOND CONSIDERATION AND ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE: AN ORDINANCE REQUIRING TESTING FOR METHANE GAS ON ALL PROJECTS WITH MASS GRADING (Supv. Dist: All) OVERVIEW: On July 11, 2001 (4), your Board introduced Ordinance for further Board consideration and adoption on July 18, 2001. Supervisor Slater Board letter adopted October 25, 2000 (3). On October 25, 2000 (3) the Board directed staff to develop an ordinance requiring methane gas testing on properties in the Santa Fe Valley area. Development of the ordinance was delayed from the anticipated completion date of January 2001, to allow for the ongoing inclusion of new methane gas data from development projects both inside and outside the Santa Fe Valley area and to meet with building industry representatives. Subsequent to the Board direction, methane gas has been found in other developments outside of the Santa Fe Valley. Based on these new occurrences, methane gas may also be present in additional areas of the County. This letter proposes to establish an ordinance that will be reviewed by the Board of Supervisors within six months, requiring methane gas testing countywide on projects with mass grading. Methane gas testing is necessary to protect public health, safety and welfare. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with these recommendations. BUSINESS IMPACT STATEMENT: Mandatory methane testing requirements on all mass graded projects will result in additional construction costs. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Ordinance entitled: AN ORDINANCE ADDING CHAPTER 3 TO DIVISION 6 OF TITLE 8 OF THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY CODE RELATED TO TESTING REQUIREMENTS FOR METHANE GAS ON ALL PROJECTS WITH MASS GRADING. ACTION: ON MOTION of Supervisor Slater, seconded by Supervisor Jacob, the Board of Supervisors took action as recommended, on Consent, adopting Ordinance No. 9364 , entitled: AN ORDINANCE ADDING CHAPTER 3 TO DIVISION 6 OF TITLE 8 OF THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY CODE RELATED TO TESTING REQUIREMENTS FOR METHANE GAS ON ALL PROJECTS WITH MASS GRADING.
