SUBJECT:

NAMING HOLLY OAKS RANCH PARK AND LUELF POND OPEN SPACE PRESERVE IN RAMONA (DISTRICT: 2)

In 1995, the County of San Diego was deeded 17 acres of parkland in the Holly Oaks Ranch Community in Ramona as a result of the Parkland Development Ordinance. Recently, an additional 24 acres were deeded to the County, creating a 41-acre community park, which includes 11 acres of wetlands. An additional 90 acres of open space off of Duck Pond Lane were deeded to the County on September 27, 2000. Today’s action will officially name these two areas, “Holly Oaks Ranch Park” and “Luelf Pond Open Space Preserve,” respectively.

There is no Fiscal impact related to this proposal.

SUPERVISOR JACOB:
Adopt attached resolution to officially name the 41-acre community park at the intersection of Southern Oak Road and Dye Road in the Holly Oak Development “Holly Oak Ranch Park” and the 90 acres of open space off Duck Pond Lane “Luelf Pond Open Space Preserve.”

ON MOTION of Supervisor Cox, seconded by Supervisor Slater, the Board of Supervisors took action as recommended, on Consent, adopting Resolution No. 01-236, entitled: A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO OFFICIALLY NAMING HOLLY OAKS RANCH PARK AND LUELF POND OPEN SPACE PRESERVE IN RAMONA.

AYES:  Cox, Jacob, Slater, Roberts, Horn

SUBJECT:

ESTABLISHMENT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF CHILD SUPPORT SERVICES (DISTRICT: ALL)

On September 27, 1999, SB 542 was signed into law (Chapter 480, Statutes of 1999) that, among other changes, requires each county to establish a new county department of child support services.  This law requires that the new department of child support services shall be separate and independent from any other county department and shall be responsible for promptly and effectively establishing, modifying and enforcing child support obligations, including medical support, enforcing spousal support orders established by a court of competent jurisdiction, and determining paternity in the case of a child born out of wedlock.  The legislation also provides that all employees who perform child support collection and enforcement activities within the Office of the District Attorney shall become employees of the new county Department of Child Support Services at their existing or equivalent classifications and at their existing salaries and benefits including, but not limited to, unused vacation, sick leave, personal leave and health and pension plans.  San Diego County’s request to establish the Department of Child Support Services effective October 11, 2001 is pending approval by the California Department of Child Support Services.

If approved by your Board, the actions recommended in this letter would establish the Department of Child Support Services adding Section 530 and amending Section 496 of the San Diego County Administrative Code.

The costs associated with the establishment of this new department are included in the FY 2001-03 Operational Plan in the District Attorney’s office that was adopted on June 26, 2001, (1).  However, the State FY 2001-02 Child Support Administrative Final Allocation has not yet been received from the California Department of Child Support Services because of the Legislature’s delay in passing the State Budget.  Once the final state allocations are received, amendments to the FY 2001-03 Operational Plan will be submitted to your Board for approval in a separate letter.

CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER
1.      Approve introduction (first reading) of ordinances; read titles and waive further reading of ordinances:

AN ORDINANCE ADDING SECTION 530 AND AMENDING SECTION 496 OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE CODE RELATING TO THE DEPARTMENT OF CHILD SUPPORT SERVICES AND AUTOMOBILE ALLOWANCE

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE COMPENSATION ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING AUTHORIZED CLASSIFICATIONS, POSITIONS AND COMPENSATION FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF CHILD SUPPORT SERVICES.

2.      Submit ordinances for further Board consideration and adoption (second reading) on September 11, 2001.

ON MOTION of Supervisor Roberts, seconded by Supervisor Slater, the Board of Supervisors took action as recommended, introducing Ordinances for further consideration on September 11, 2001.

AYES:  Cox, Jacob, Slater, Roberts, Horn

3.

SUBJECT:

SOLE SOURCE AUTHORIZATION FOR PROGRAMMING SERVICES (DISTRICT:  ALL)

Per State mandate, the District Attorney’s Bureau of Child Support Enforcement (BCSE) is in the process of converting its automated case management system to the Los Angeles County ARS case management system.  Maintaining integrity of the current system while preparing to convert to the new system is vital to the continued success of the local child support program.   Conversion to the ARS system is expected to occur in February 2002.  This is a request for a sole source contract for programming services to maintain BCSE’s automated case management system up to and through the conversion.

Funds are included in the FY 2001-02 Operational Plan.  The funding source is Child Support Recoupment revenue.  If approved, this request will result in $160,000 cost and no additional staff years will be required.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY
In accordance with Board Policy A-87, Competitive Procurement, approve and authorize the Purchasing and Contracting Director to enter into negotiations with Wise Consulting; and subject to successful negotiations and determination of a fair and reasonable price, award a contract for programming services, subject to the approval of the District Attorney.  Waive the advertising requirement of A-87.

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

AYES:  Cox, Jacob, Slater, Roberts, Horn

SUBJECT:

SHERIFF'S ACCEPTANCE OF CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT LAW ENFORCEMENT SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS UNITS PROGRAM GRANT  AND STATEWIDE CHILD NEGLECT REVIEW COMMITTEE GRANT (DISTRICT: 2)

This is a request to authorize the acceptance of two grants from the Office of Criminal Justice Planning (OCJP): (1) $205,650 for the Child Abuse and Neglect Law Enforcement Special Investigations Units Program and (2) $25,000 for the OCJP Statewide Child Neglect Review Committee.  The first grant will provide for the implementation of a multi-disciplinary child abuse team in the East County area, in partnership with the Health and Human Services Agency Child Protective Services (CPS), Children’s Hospital and Health Center (CHHC), and many other collaborating partners.  Grant funding will be provided for a Licensed Clinical Social Worker hired by Children’s Hospital and two Sheriff’s Investigative Specialists, stationed at the East Region CPS headquarters, to pursue misdemeanor child abuse referrals and ensure an effective and appropriate response to child abuse and neglect allegations. The grant period is from June 29, 2001 to June 29, 2002.  Continuation grant funding for the second and third year is contingent upon satisfactory performance and subject to the availability of funds.

The second grant will fund the operating expenses for the California Statewide Child Neglect Review Committee, on which Sheriff’s Department staff will serve.  The grant period is June 28, 2001 to June 29, 2002. 

There is no local match requirement for the two grants. This request supports the Sheriff’s Department’s Strategic Plan for Law Enforcement Services and the County’s Crime Prevention Strategic Initiative.

Funds for this request are not budgeted.  The funding source is the State Office of Criminal Justice Planning.  If approved, this request will result in $230,650 current year cost and revenue.  This request will require the addition of two positions (1.75 staff years in Fiscal Year 2001/2002; 2 staff years annualized.)  Contingent upon future Federal appropriations, the Child Abuse and Neglect Law Enforcement Specialized Investigations Unit grant may be renewed for $180,000 per year for up to two additional years after the initial grant period.  There is no local match for the grants.  Waiver of Board Policy B-29 is requested because overhead/administrative costs estimated at $26,490 are not recoverable under these grants and will be absorbed by the Sheriff’s Department.  This is the allocation of current overhead costs, and does not represent additional costs to be incurred.

SHERIFF:

1.    Waive Board Policy B-29, which requires full cost recovery for grants and that Board approval be given in advance of application for funds.

2.    Ratify the submission of and accept a grant in the amount of $205,650 from the State Office of Criminal Justice Planning for the Child Abuse and Neglect Law Enforcement Special Investigations Units Program for the period June 29, 2001 through June 29, 2002.

3.    Ratify the submission of and accept a grant in the amount of $25,000 from the State Office of Criminal Justice Planning for the OCJP Statewide Child Neglect Review Committee for the period June 28, 2001 through June 29, 2002.

4.     Authorize the Sheriff to execute the grant documents, including any extensions and amendments thereof that do not materially impact or alter either the grant programs or funding levels.

5.     Establish appropriations of $230,650 in the Sheriff’s Department for the Child Abuse and Neglect Law Enforcement Program and the Statewide Child Neglect Review Committee for salaries and benefits ($98,914) and services and supplies ($131,736), based on unanticipated revenue from the State Office of Criminal Justice Planning. (4 Votes)

6.    Authorize the Sheriff’s Department to apply for and accept continuation funding for the Child Abuse and Neglect Law Enforcement Special Investigations Unit Program Grant and authorize the Sheriff to review and execute related grant documents on the Board’s behalf that do not materially impact or alter either the grant program or funding level.  

7.    Approve the request for two additional staff years to support the Child Abuse and Neglect Law Enforcement Special Investigations Unit Program Grant.  Direct the Department of Human Resources to classify these positions at the appropriate levels.

AYES:  Cox, Jacob, Slater, Roberts, Horn

SHERIFF                      $140,000.00                            $160,000.00                $20,000     

The implementation of the salary adjustment above will have no negative funding effect on the County Employee Retirement System (CERS).

SUPERVISOR COX AND SUPERVISOR JACOB:

Fleet Internal Service Fund: Funds for this request are not budgeted.  The funding source is an operating transfer and revenue from the Sheriff’s Department.  If approved, this request will result in current year costs of $183,396.

ACQUISITION OF PARCEL NOS. 97-0195-A (REALTY PARKING PROPERTIES) AND 98-0237-A (STAHLMAN) AND APPROVAL OF OPTION TO PURCHASE PARCEL NO. 98-0238-A (1168 UNION STREET, LLC) (DISTRICT: ALL)

On August 11, 1998 (22), the Board of Supervisors authorized the Department of General Services to enter into negotiations with the owners of the property bounded by Union, State, B and C Streets.  On May 16, 2000 (11), the Board approved option agreements for two of the four parcels on that block.  A third owner has agreed to sign an option agreement and negotiations are continuing with the remaining owner in an attempt to obtain a signed option agreement.  The ownerships of the four parcels making up this block are illustrated in Attachment 1.

The Board is requested to exercise the Options to Purchase Parcel Nos. 97-0195-A from Realty Parking Properties II L.P. for $5,320,000 and 98-0237-A from Stahlman Bail Bonds Defined Benefit Plan for $2,100,000.  Option payments previously made to these owners will be credited against the purchase price.  The Board is also requested to approve a six-month option agreement with 1168 Union Street, LLC.   The consideration to be paid to the property owner is $44,000.  The option contains two, three-month extensions at a cost of $10,000 each.  The option consideration would be credited against the purchase price of $2,750,000 should the County exercise the option to purchase the property. 

The total funds necessary for this request are $7,366,000:  $64,000 for the option payment of Parcel No. 98-0238-A and $7,297,000 for the purchase of Parcel Nos. 97-0195-A and 98-0237-A and $5,000 for County’s share of escrow fees.  Sources of these funds are as follows:

Funds in the amount of $1,057,000 are budgeted in Capital Project KA8030.  Appropriations in the amount of $592,195.43 are being transferred from Capital Project KK8030.  Additional funds of $5,716,804.57 are being appropriated in this action to increase the total appropriations in Capital Project KA8030 to $7,366,000.00.

The request to approve the option to purchase Parcel No. 98-0238-A will result in a current year cost of $64,000, no annual cost and will require no additional staff years.  The request to acquire Parcel Nos. 97-0195-A and 98-0237-A will result in an additional current year cost of $7,302,000, no annual cost and will require no additional staff years.  It is estimated that interim annual net income, averaged over the first four years, would generate $670,000 to the County from these three properties.

CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER
1.      Find, in accordance with Article 19, Section 15301 of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, that the proposed acquisitions are categorically exempt from the environmental assessment, as they involve the continuation of existing uses.

2.      Authorize the Director of the Department of General Services to exercise the option to purchase Parcel No. 97-0195-A from Realty Parking Properties, L.P. for $5,320,000 and execute all escrow related documents to complete the purchase of the property.

SUBJECT:

GROUND LEASE AGREEMENT, BID SOLICITATION AND AWARD OF THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT FOR THE SPRING VALLEY BRANCH LIBRARY, COMMUNITY TEEN CENTER AND JOINT-USE GYMNASIUM (DISTRICT: 4)

On April 15, 1997 (34), the Board of Supervisors established Capital Project KL7020 and appropriated funds for site selection, acquisition, planning and design of a new Spring Valley Branch Library.  The Department of Parks and Recreation identified the need for a new Spring Valley teen center and gymnasium in its Fiscal Year 1999/2000 Capital Improvement Plan.  Subsequently Supervisor Roberts provided funding in the amount of $100,000 to the Department of Parks and Recreation to begin searching for a site that would accommodate all three facilities. After an extensive site search, a 4.8-acre site on the grounds of La Presa Middle School at 1001 Leland Street in Spring Valley was selected.  The site is owned by the La Mesa-Spring Valley School District.  On May 2, 2000 (2), the Board approved a Memorandum of Agreement with the District, which provides the framework for the County's construction of a Branch Library, Community Teen Center and Joint-Use Gymnasium on the District-owned parcel.  On July 25, 2000 (6), the Board awarded a contract to Martinez-Cutri Architects for design and engineering services for the project.  Today's request is for approval of a 55-year, no cost ground lease for the project site.  This request also recommends approval to proceed with solicitation of bids and award of separate construction contracts to the successful bidder of the 13,500 square foot Spring Valley Library and the 15,500 square foot combination Teen Center/Gymnasium facility.

There is no fiscal impact associated with the ground lease, as it is rent free throughout the entire 55-year term.

Library (KL7020).  The estimated total cost for design and construction of the Branch Library is $2,985,217. Full funding is budgeted in Capital Project KL7020.

Teen Center (KK0880).  The estimated total cost for design and construction of the Teen Center is $320,000.  Funding is provided by previously budgeted funds consisting of $100,000 in District 4 Community Projects funding, $30,000 in Fiscal Year 2000/2001 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds and $190,000 in Fiscal Year 2001/2002 CDBG funds.  On May 1, 2001 (2), the Board approved the Fiscal Year 2001/2002 Annual Funding Plan for the Community Development Block Grant Program, which includes $190,000 for construction of the Spring Valley Teen Center.  These funds have been budgeted in the Fiscal Year 2001/2002 Capital Improvement Budget.

Gymnasium (KK0865).  The estimated total cost for design and construction of the Gymnasium is $1,587,250.  Funds, in the amount of $1,237,250 have been previously budgeted in Capital Project KK0865.  Funding is provided by State Legislative Appropriations in the amount of $837,250, and Prop. 12 – State Parks Bond Act funds in the amount of $400,000.  Included in this Board action is the appropriation of $250,000 of Spring Valley area Park Land Dedication Ordinance (PLDO) funds to supplement construction of the Gymnasium project.  In addition, as a provision of the ground lease agreement, the La Mesa-Spring Valley School District has committed to contribute $100,000 toward construction of the Gymnasium.

Business Impact Statement

Approval of the recommended actions will provide temporary employment opportunities in the construction trades.

CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER:
1.   Find, pursuant to Section 15162(a) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, that the project was adequately addressed in a previous Negative Declaration adopted by the Planning and Environmental Review Board and on file in the Department of Planning and Land Use on March 22, 2001 as part of the Major Use Permit P00-039 for the subject property.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES AND THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO FOR THE WRAPAROUND SERVICES PILOT PROGRAM (DISTRICT:  ALL)

On November 12, 1997 (3) the Board of Supervisors adopted Supervisor Cox’s Board Letter directing the Chief Administrative Officer to develop a pilot program to provide individualized and coordinated, “wraparound,” intensive services to children in foster care or subject to imminent placement in foster care.  The pilot program was to be designed in accordance with Senate Bill 163, Wraparound Services Pilot Program.  SB163 allows counties to use State of California foster care funding to provide family and community based services to eligible children and their families as an alternative to group home placement.  The Board action further directed the CAO to submit the proposed pilot program plan and an SB 163 application to the California Department of Social Services for approval and funding.

On October 17, 2000 (1) the Board of Supervisors approved and authorized the Purchasing and Contracting Deputy Director to enter into negotiations with the Children, Youth and Family Network  (CYFN), for Network Manager and Family Service Coordination services, and Community Care Systems, Inc. (CCS), for Data Manager services, and to execute contracts required to implement the Children’s Mental Health Services (CMHS) Initiative.  The contractors are collaborative partners with the Health and Human Services Agency’s Children’s Mental Health Services in the development and operation of the CMHS Initiative.  The CMHS Initiative continued the efforts identified in November 1997 and is designed to use SB163 funding to expand and improve County mental health services for children and youth.  The CMHS Initiative implements an expanding core for the redesigned system of care.

In April 2001, the State Department of Social Services requested completion of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the California Department of Social Services and the County of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency.  The MOU specifies the Wraparound Services Pilot Program responsibilities of the California Department of Social Services and the Health and Human Services Agency and specifies the methods of tracking and reporting children in the program and claiming reimbursement for each enrolled child.  Board approval is requested to authorize the Director of the Health and Human Services Agency to execute the Memorandum of Understanding and execute MOU amendments.

Funds are included in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2001-2002 Operational Plan.  If approved, this request will result in estimated costs and revenue of $7,312,500 in FY 2001-2002 and $9,750,000 in FY 2002-2003.  The funding sources are State AFDC Foster Care and Social Services Realignment.  There will be no change in net General Fund cost and no additional staff years.

CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER:
Authorize the Director, Health and Human Services Agency, to sign the Memorandum of Understanding between the California Department of Social Services and County of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency to specify the terms and responsibilities of Wraparound Services Pilot Program participation and to negotiate and execute amendments to the Memorandum of Understanding on behalf of the County of San Diego.
