SUBJECT:

STRATEGIC PLAN FOR THE TREATMENT AND SUPERVISION OF SEXUALLY VIOLENT PREDATORS IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY (DISTRICT: ALL)

OVERVIEW:

Supervisors Cox and Jacob Board letter adopted October 9, 2001 (15).

Sexually Violent Predators are a class of judicially committed felons who, after serving their prison sentences, are committed to and confined in Atascadero State Hospital for continued treatment.  They are repeat sexual offenders who have a diagnosed mental illness and are considered to be a continuing threat to their victims and to the public.  The State’s policy is to release Sexually Violent Predators to the communities in which they were tried and convicted when they are deemed ready to continue their treatment in community-based settings.  Because they pose an extremely serious public safety risk, they are conditionally released to programs that incorporate intensive security and treatment features.  The first group of California’s Sexually Violent Predators are expected to be released in the next six months, several potentially to San Diego County, which has convicted a disproportionally large number of the State’s Sexually Violent Predators.

On October 9, 2001 (15), your Board, acting on the recommendations of Supervisors Jacob and Cox, directed the Chief Administrative Officer to return with a strategic plan for managing Sexually Violent Predators released to San Diego County.  At the Chief Administrative Officer’s direction, a group of County law enforcement and criminal justice representatives who served as the planning committee for the Probation Department’s Center for Sex Offender Management grant, developed a plan in consultation with County Mental Health to manage Sexually Violent Predators returning to San Diego County.  The plan calls for the Probation Department to operate a Sexually Violent Predator program, based on a containment model fully funded by a contract with the California Department of Mental Health.  The plan also calls for the Health and Human Services Agency’s participation in the program by supplying administrative and fiscal support during the program’s six-month pilot stage.  This action requests approval of the Sexually Violent Predator strategic plan, authorization to submit the plan to the State and authorization for the Chief Administrative Officer to enter into contract negotiations with the California Department of Mental Health, pursuing full cost recovery in that contract.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There are no fiscal impacts associated with these recommendations.  The State has informed the County that due to the current State budget crisis, it will not be negotiating a budget for a Sexually Violent Predator program until after January 1, 2002.

RECOMMENDATION:

CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER

1.     Approve the “Strategic Plan for the Treatment and Supervision of the Sexually Violent Predator in San Diego County” within the Probation Department, and authorize the Chief Administrative Officer to submit the plan to the California Department of Mental Health.

2.     Authorize the Chief Administrative Officer to negotiate a revenue contract with the California Department of Mental Health, Forensics Division, for a County-operated Sexually Violent Predator program, and in negotiating that contract, to pursue full cost recovery from the State.

3.     Direct the Chief Administrative Officer to draft a letter for the Chairman’s signature informing the State that to ensure the public’s safety, the County of San Diego expects full funding for the “Strategic Plan for the Treatment and Supervision of the Sexually Violent Predator in San Diego County”.

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

AYES:  Cox, Jacob, Slater, Roberts, Horn

SUBJECT:

INDEPENDENT LIVING SKILLS PROGRAM CONTRACTS (DISTRICT: ALL)

OVERVIEW:

The Health and Human Services Agency’s Independent Living Skills program provides multiple services to prepare current and former foster youth for self-sufficiency. On February 23, 1999 (9), the Board approved the expansion of the Independent Living Skills program and authorized a Request for Proposal that resulted in new contracts in each of the Health and Human Services Agency’s six regions.  These contracts for the six Health and Human Services Agency regions expire on June 30, 2002. 

If approved, today’s action will authorize the Director of the Department of Purchasing and Contracting to issue Requests for Proposals to contract Independent Living Skills services in the six regions.

This item supports the Self-Sufficiency Initiative in the County’s Strategic Plan which promotes and supports opportunities for all County residents to achieve self-sufficiency and to take responsibility for themselves. 

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funds for this request are included in the FY 2001-02 Operational Plan.  If approved, this request will result in FY 2001-02 and subsequent year costs and revenue up to $923,847.  The funding source is the federal Independent Living Program allocation. There will be no change in net General Fund costs and no additional staff years.

RECOMMENDATION:

CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER

In accordance with Section 401, Article XXIII of the County Administrative Code and Board of Supervisors Policy A-96, Sequence for Obtaining a Chief Administrative Officer Determination Regarding Economy and Efficiency of Independent Contractors Pursuant to Charter Section 703.10, authorize the Director, Purchasing and Contracting, to issue a Request for Proposals to select a consortium of non-profit community agencies for each of the Health and Human Services Agency’s service delivery regions for the “Independent Living Skills” program; and upon successful negotiations and determination of a fair and reasonable price, award three-year contracts effective July 1, 2002 through June 30, 2005 with two (2) additional option years ending June 30, 2007, and up to an additional six months if needed, and to amend the contracts to reflect changes in funding or service requirements, subject to approval of the Director, Health and Human Services Agency, and the Chief Administrative Officer’s determination of economy and efficiency.

SUBJECT:

CALIFORNIA HEALTHCARE FOR INDIGENTS PROGRAM AND EXPENDITURE PLAN FOR FY 2001-02 (DISTRICT: ALL)

OVERVIEW:

On February 6, 2001 (6), the Board of Supervisors approved the FY 2000-01 California Healthcare for Indigents Program Expenditure Plan and authorized the submission of the FY 2001-02 application for California Healthcare for Indigents Program and the Emergency Medical Services Appropriation Program.  This funding provides health services to indigents by reimbursing hospitals and physicians for the uncompensated costs of health services and emergency medical care provided to these patients, and meets the State's mandate for Child Health and Disability Prevention Treatment Reimbursement.  Approval is being requested to submit the FY 2001-02 California Healthcare for Indigents Program Expenditure Plan, including the required Standard Agreements, and the FY 2002-03 application for the California Healthcare for Indigents Program.

This item supports the Health and Wellness Initiative in the County’s Strategic Plan which promotes wellness among all county residents.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funding is included in the FY 2001-02 Operational Plan for the Health and Human Services Agency. If approved, this request will result in a net decrease in cost and revenue of $902,801. The funding source is the California Healthcare for Indigents Program (CHIP). This is a reduction of $937,676 in the CHIP allocation, which is partially offset by $34,875 in accrued interest from CHIP trust funds.  The revised total CHIP budgeted amount for FY 2001‑02 is $4,760,901. There will be no change in net General Fund cost and no additional staff years.

AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO MEDICAL EXAMINER FORENSIC TOXICOLOGY SERVICES CONTRACT WITH THE COUNTY OF SAN BERNARDINO (DISTRICT: ALL)

OVERVIEW:

This is a request to approve and authorize an amendment to an existing revenue contract with the County of San Bernardino for forensic toxicology services.  The services provided to the County of San Bernardino produce revenue that reduces the Medical Examiner Department’s Net General Fund Cost below what it would be were the services not provided.  This amendment is required to extend the contract end date from November 30, 2001, to June 30, 2002, during which time the County of San Bernardino intends to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a successor contract.  The County of San Bernardino approved Amendment No. 2 on November 27, 2001.  The present recommendation is for approval of Amendment No. 2 to the existing revenue contract with the County of San Bernardino for forensic toxicology services.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funds for this request are budgeted.  The revenue source is the County of San Bernardino.  If approved, this request will result in $140,000 current year revenue and annual revenue of $140,000 if the contract is renewed at its amended expiration of June 30, 2002, and will require the addition of no staff years.  Costs are revenue offset in accordance with the Medical Examiner Department fees authorized by your Board on September 14, 1999 (3).  

RECOMMENDATION:

CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER

Approve and authorize the Medical Examiner to execute Amendment No. 2 to Medical Examiner Forensic Toxicology Services Contract, a Revenue Contract with the County of San Bernardino, to extend the termination date from November 30, 2001, to June 30, 2002, subject to County Counsel approval.

SUPPORTING THE IMPERIAL VALLEY WATER TRANSFER TO CALIFORNIA (DISTRICT: ALL)

OVERVIEW:

In 1998, the Imperial Irrigation District (IID) and San Diego County Water Authority (CWA) agreed to transfer 200,000 acre feet of water to San Diego annually.  The water transfer agreement must be completed next year to help California comply with the requirements of Colorado River interim surplus guidelines approved by the U.S. Department of the Interior.  If the transfer agreement is not finalized, the surplus guidelines are likely to be suspended and San Diego County could lose about 20 percent of its imported water supply.  In order to ensure that the IID/CWA water transfer agreement is completed on time, Congressman Duncan Hunter introduced federal legislation to streamline environmental approvals needed for the transfer and provide funding for related environmental restoration activities.  Approval of this item would express the Board’s support for the passage of Congressman Hunter’s bill or any similar legislation that will allow the transfer agreement to move forward.

FISCAL IMPACT:

These actions can be performed within the existing budget.

RECOMMENDATION:

SUPERVISOR JACOB:

1.     Support H.R. 2764 (Hunter) or similar legislation to expedite the completion of the Imperial Irrigation District/County Water Authority water transfer agreement.

2.     Direct the Chief Administrative Officer to draft a letter for the Chairman’s signature asking Governor Davis and the San Diego Congressional delegation to support H.R. 2764 or similar legislation to expedite the completion of the Imperial Irrigation District/County Water Authority water transfer agreement.

3.     Direct the Board’s representative to the County Water Authority Board of Directors to inform the County Water Authority of the Board’s actions.

SUBDIVISION MAP NO. 5079-1 (SAN LUIS REY RANCHES), LOCATED IN BONSALL – AUTHORIZATION OF EMINENT DOMAIN (DISTRICT: 5)

OVERVIEW:

On January 24, 2001 (18), the Board of Supervisors approved Subdivision Map No. 5079-1 for San Luis Rey Ranches in Bonsall.  A condition of the map requires the subdivider, Barratt American, Incorporated, to purchase an easement from a private property owner to improve access to and from the proposed subdivision.

Government Code Section 66462.5 states that the County shall not refuse approval of a final subdivision map, because the subdivider cannot obtain title to off-site easements that are required as a condition of the map.  In accordance with Board Policy J-33, the Board may use its power of eminent domain to assist the subdivider in obtaining off-site easements in those instances where the property owners are unwilling to sell to the subdivider.

In the case of this project, the subdivider has been unable to acquire the needed easement on its own.  Therefore, upon the subdivider's request, the Board approved and authorized the Clerk of the Board to execute an agreement to provide the real estate acquisition services on January 24, 2001 (18).

The County has been unable to acquire the easement by negotiation. Therefore, the Board of Supervisors is requested to set a hearing date for January 15, 2002 to consider the adoption of a Resolution of Public Necessity to initiate an action in eminent domain for the required easement.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funds for this project are partially budgeted.  If approved, the proposed actions would result in one-time costs of $1,500 in the Facilities Management Internal Service Fund, which will be offset by revenue from the subdivider.  Of the total costs, $1,100 is budgeted, and the additional appropriation of $400 is being requested in this action.  There are no annual costs and no additional staff years required.

RECOMMENDATION:

CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER

1.    Amend the Fiscal Year 2001-2002 Facilities Management Internal Service Fund spending plan to increase in the amount of $400 in the Real Estate Services Division Program for Acquisition of rights-of-way based on revenue received from the subdivider.

2.       Declare the Board’s intention to adopt a Resolution of Public Necessity to initiate an action in eminent domain.

3.    Set a hearing date for January 15, 2002, at which time the Board of Supervisors may adopt the Resolution of Public Necessity for Map No. 5079-1 San Luis Rey Ranches, Bonsall.

4.    Direct the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors to give the required notice.

SUBJECT:

INCREASE OF MONETARY LIMITS FOR DELEGATED AUTHORITY APPROVAL OF COUNTY ACQUISITION LEASES AND LEASE AMENDMENTS (ALL DISTRICTS)

OVERVIEW:

Currently the Board of Supervisors may delegate the execution of certain leases for up to $2,500 per month.  Recent State legislation increased the limit of this delegation from $2,500 per month to $7,500 per month.  The Board of Supervisors is requested to adopt an ordinance amending the San Diego County Administrative Code.  The proposed changes will authorize the Director of the Department of General Services, as the Board's designee, to: (1) execute leases, in which the County is the tenant (acquisition leases), of up to $7,500 per month, for a term of no more than three years, and, (2) amend real property leases to provide for alterations and improvements, or both, to County leased space, in an amount not to exceed $7,500, no more than two times in any 12-month period.  The Board is also requested to revise Board Policy F-22, Lease of Real Property for County Use, to conform to the new $7,500 limit.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no direct fiscal impact associated with this request.  However, adoption of the proposed ordinance would streamline the process for approval of smaller, short-term leases and provide indirect cost savings through enhanced operational efficiencies.  This request will result in no additional staff years.

RECOMMENDATION:

CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER

1.     Read the title and waive further reading:

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTIONS 73.3(b), 73.6, and 73.7(a) & (b) OF THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY ADMINISTRATIVE CODE TO INCREASE THE MONETARY LIMITS FOR COUNTY ACQUISITION LEASES AND LEASE AMENDMENTS FOR ALTERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS WHICH CAN BE EXECUTED BY THE DIRECTOR, DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES. 

2.     Introduce the ordinance for adoption at the December 11, 2001 meeting.

3.   Amend Board Policy F-22, Lease of Real Property for County Use, to increase the monetary limits for short-term leases and amendments for improvements and alterations from $2,500 to $7,500, in conformance with the revisions to the San Diego County Administrative Code.

SUBJECT:

ESTABLISHMENT OF FY 2001/2002 BUDGET FOR THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER WATERFRONT PARK (DISTRICT: ONE)

OVERVIEW:

The actions before the Board will establish funding ($694,000) to continue forward on the design and related studies for the County Administration Center Waterfront Park.  Hargreaves Associates in association with Davis Davis Architects was selected to be the master planner and design architect for the park. The master plan is anticipated to be completed by the end of December.  The funding provided by these actions will allow the park’s schematic design to be finished by July 2002.  It is important that the schematic design for the County Waterfront Park proceed on a timely basis in order to be coordinated with the concurrent design of the North Embarcadero public improvements.  In addition, the actions will direct that for planning purposes the County Kettner/Cedar site house approximately 500 parking spaces and that the feasibility of mixed use development for this property be evaluated in light of current market conditions.  If the project begins within a year the funds expended in these recommendations may be reimbursed if the project is bond financed.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The project costs funded in the actions today include schematic design ($451,000), related consultant costs for such items as geotechnical work, environmental assessments, traffic studies and civil engineering ($49,000), additional master planning work ($25,000), and staff/miscellaneous expenses ($169,000) related to the project. 

The total cost of the park could approach $25 million.  The type of park design will dictate construction costs for the park. The proportion of above to below ground parking will be the single most important variable determining the cost of the park.  Active parks with features such as fountains are more expensive than passive parks with large open green areas.

The County Administration Center Waterfront Park was included in the FY01/02 Capital Improvement Program but not funded.  Funding provided by these recommendations would allow the project to proceed through the end of this fiscal year.  The balance of additional design costs could approach an additional $2.5 million for design development, construction documents, and construction administration. These design costs are also not funded at this time.  The remaining project costs of approximately $22 million would have to also be identified in the future.

A secondary Fiscal Impact is the cost of new construction or lease cost to house Health and Human Services Agency staff displaced by demolition of the Askew Building.

RECOMMENDATION:

CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER

1.     Establish appropriations of $694,000 in the General Fund Contribution to the General Services Internal Service Funds based on FY 2000-2001 available fund balance.

2.     Amend the General Services Facility Management Internal Service Fund spending plan in the amount of $694,000 for completion of schematic design and related studies for the County Administration Center Waterfront Park based on an operating transfer from the General Fund.

3.     Authorize the Director Purchasing and Contracting to negotiate an extension of the existing contract in an amount not to exceed $476,000 with Hargreaves Associates for additional master planning and schematic design services related to the County Administration Center Waterfront Park.

4.     Approve and authorize the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors to Execute the Declaration of Official Intent.

5.     Direct that for master planning purposes the County owned site bounded by Kettner, Cedar, Beech, and the railroad right of way house approximately 500 parking spaces for County use.

6.     Direct that the Chief Administrative Officer return to the Board in 120 days with a report on the options for mixed use development on the Kettner/Cedar site including retail, County office, parking and residential development and the effects of current market conditions on each option.

7.     Find, in accordance with Section 15262 of the State of California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, that the proposed action is exempt from the Act in that it consists solely of feasibility and schematic design studies for possible future actions which have not been currently funded, do not have a legally binding effect on later activities and will not have a significant impact on the environment.

With addition of expanding the scope to include schematic designs for a new Board Chamber on the first floor and expanding workspace for the Board of Supervisors staff;  ON MOTION of Supervisor Slater, seconded by Supervisor Jacob, the Board of Supervisors took action as recommended, on Consent.
