COUNTY LIBRARY REVISION OF LIBRARY BORROWING POLICY AND FINES AND FEES SCHEDULE (DISTRICT: ALL)

In August, 1995, as part of the Status Report on Long-Term Plans for Serving the Citizens of San Diego County, Plan 2002, and approval of the San Diego County Library Policy Manual, the Board of Supervisors approved the policy on Library borrowing privileges, the lending periods for library materials, and updated Library fines and fees to ensure the timely return of library materials. Today’s action will amend these policies to require that borrowers under 18 obtain parental permission and signature to get a library card, amend the Library Fines and Fees Schedule to add the new format known as Digital Video Disk (DVD), reduce the fee for initiating an interlibrary loan request, and specify the period of time branch community rooms can be used by “for profit” organizations under the current fee structure.

If approved, this request will result in no current year cost, and will require no additional staff years. Assuming a 20% increase in interlibrary loans and DVD usage, it is estimated that County Library revenues will increase by $48,663.

CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER

1.   Waive Board Policy B-29, Fees, Grants and Revenue Contracts, Department Responsibility for Full Cost Recovery.

Funds for the Giant Steps Program proposal are not included in the adopted FY 2001-2002 Health and Human Services Agency Operational Plan. If approved, this request will increase FY 2001-02 and 2002-03 cost and revenue by $26,000.  There will be no increase in net General Fund cost and no additional staff years.

CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER

1.      Ratify and authorize the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors to execute, upon receipt, a revenue agreement with the Bayside Community Center in the amount of $26,000 and to execute any amendments, extensions, or renewals that do not significantly alter the amount of the agreement or the service level.

REFUGEE HEALTH ASSESSMENT PROGRAM CONTRACT WITH CATHOLIC CHARITIES (DISTRICT: ALL)

(CARRYOVER FROM 4/23/02, AGENDA NO. 2)

On May 19, 1998 (22), the Board of Supervisors authorized the renewal of the Catholic Charities Refugee Health Assessment contract as part of Lifemark Corporation’s Administrative Services Organization contract renewal.  The Catholic Charities contract expires June 30, 2002. 

The State Department of Health Services, through funding from the federal Office of Refugee Resettlement, provides the County of San Diego an annual award to provide health assessments for newly arriving refugees and granted asylees entering the County.   In turn, the County contracts with Catholic Charities of San Diego County, a refugee resettlement agency, to provide refugee health services including the health assessments for newly arriving refugees. Current fiscal year funding is $475,000.

Since 1983, the County has contracted with Catholic Charities to provide the health assessments, immunizations, communicable disease control of latent tuberculosis infection and needed healthcare follow-up for the multiple refugee groups in the County.   Catholic Charities is uniquely qualified to provide these services due to their knowledge of and experience with the various refugee populations.  They have a proven track record for exemplary services to San Diego’s refugee populations. The Catholic Charities Health Clinic provides culturally and linguistically competent services by utilizing staff from countries of origin to serve the multiple refugee groups entering the County.  Primarily the services provided are health assessments within the first thirty days of arrival in San Diego County, referrals for follow-up health care, case management and outreach for difficult health cases, and prevention and education efforts for public health concerns such as tuberculosis and hepatitis.  

Catholic Charities’ success rate in serving refugee populations in San Diego County is higher than the State’s average success rate.  The State Department of Refugee Health requires that refugees be seen within the first 30 days of arrival into the county, due to public health concerns.  The State strongly supports the continuation of services through Catholic Charities due to their exemplary track record for providing comprehensive services to San Diego County refugees.

If approved, this item will authorize Purchasing and Contracting to negotiate and award award a sole source contract to Catholic Charities of San Diego County to operate the Refugee Health Assessment Program. This will also, by establishing a separate contract for Catholic Charities, allow for a more streamlined payment methodology between the County and Catholic Charities.

Funds of $475,000 are included in the FY 2001-02 Operational Plan.  If approved, this request will result in no change in FY 2001-02 costs and revenue and subsequent year costs and revenue of $475,000.  The funding source is State Refugee Aid.  There will be no change in net General Fund costs and no additional revenue.

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, authorize the Director, Department of Purchasing and Contracting, to enter into negotiations with Catholic Charities of San Diego to provide services for the Refugee Health Assessment Program, and upon successful negotiations and determination of a fair and reasonable price, award a contract through June 30, 2003, with four one-year options, and up to an additional six months, if needed, and to amend the contract as required for changes in services and funding allocations that do not materially impact or alter the program, subject to approval by the Director, Health and Human Services Agency, and the Chief Administrative Officer’s determination of economy and efficiency.  Waive the advertising requirements of Board Policy A-87.
