| |OVERVIEW: |

| |Founded in 1985 at the urging of San Diego’s business community, CONNECT is a non-profit organization dedicated to creating and |

| |sustaining the growth of innovative technology and life science businesses throughout the San Diego region. |

| |FISCAL IMPACT: |

| |There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. |

| |

|2. |SUBJECT: |NOTICED PUBLIC HEARING: |

| | |REQUEST TO ADOPT AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 363 OF THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATIVE CODE RELATING TO |

| | |PROBATION DEPARTMENT FEES AND CHARGES (DISTRICT: ALL) |

| |OVERVIEW: |

| |This is a request to adopt an Ordinance amending Section 363 of the County Administrative Code relating to fees and charges |

| |imposed by the County’s Probation Department. The amendments will update and correct various references, adjust certain fees to |

| |reflect current costs and add a retroactive provision relating to polygraph testing fees. Penal Code section 1203.1b provides |

| |authority to the Probation Department to impose fees for reasonable costs of probation services, investigation and supervision, |

| |including, but not limited to, fees for polygraph testing. Polygraph testing has proven effective in monitoring convicted sex |

| |offenders and ensuring their compliance with conditions of probation. |

| |FISCAL IMPACT: |

| |Funds for this request are included in the Fiscal Year 2007-09 CAO Proposed Operational Plan. If approved, this request will |

| |result in direct costs of approximately $32,415 in Fiscal Year 2007-08, $37,500 in Fiscal Year 2008-09 and will result in the |

| |addition of zero staff years. |

| |RECOMMENDATION: |

| |CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER |

| |Approve the adoption of the Ordinance, (first reading) read title and waive further reading of the ordinance entitled: |

| |AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 363 OF THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY ADMINISTRATIVE CODE RELATING TO PROBATION DEPARTMENT FEES AND CHARGES |

| |Submit the Ordinance for further Board consideration and adoption (second reading) on July 31, 2007. |

| | |

|3. |SUBJECT: |DISTRICT ATTORNEY – RESTITUTION FOR VICTIMS - CONTRACTS WITH THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA VICTIM COMPENSATION|

| | |AND GOVERNMENT CLAIMS BOARD (DISTRICT: ALL) |

| |OVERVIEW: |

| |The San Diego District Attorney's Office has a comprehensive program that provides critical services to assist victims of crime |

| |and helps them gain full restitution for their losses. This program includes the District Attorney's Restitution Enforcement |

| |Program and Victim Assistance Program, which includes collaborative partnerships with the San Diego Probation Department, San |

| |Diego Superior Court and the State of California Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board (State Board). The State Board |

| |administers the Victim Compensation Program which provides restitution to victims of violent crimes and contracts with the |

| |District Attorney to administer the Criminal Restitution Compact (CRC) and the Joint Powers Agreement (JPA). |

| | |

| |This is a request to accept the Criminal Restitution Compact (CRC) and Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) contracts with the California|

| |Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board (State Board) in the amount of $1,733,517 for the period July 1, 2007 through |

| |June 30, 2009. If approved, this request will support the District Attorney’s Restitution Enforcement Program which in |

| |partnership with San Diego Superior Court and the Probation Department serves those citizens who have been the victims of crime. |

| |FISCAL IMPACT: |

| |Funds for this request are included in the Fiscal Year 2007-09 Adopted Operational Plan. The cost of the programs in Fiscal Year|

| |2007-08 is $1,280,204 offset by $866,759 in revenue from the State Board for a net cost of $413,445. The cost of the programs in |

| |Fiscal Year 2008-09 is $1,318,610 offset by $866,758 in revenue from the State Board for a net cost of $451,852, for a two-year |

| |total revenue of $1,733,517. Approval of this request will not require the addition of staff. |

| |RECOMMENDATION: |

| |DISTRICT ATTORNEY |

| |Waive Board Policy B-29, Fees, Grants, and Revenue Contracts – Department Responsibility For Cost Recovery, which requires full |

| |cost recovery for grants and prior approval of the submission of grant applications. |

| |Adopt the resolution titled “A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO RELATING TO THE SAN DIEGO |

| |DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S CRIMINAL RESTITUTION COMPACT WITH THE CALIFORNIA VICTIM COMPENSATION AND GOVERNMENT CLAIMS BOARD” approving |

| |the Criminal Restitution Compact with the State Board in the amount of $548,987 for the two-year term July 1, 2007 through June |

| |30, 2009 and authorize execution of the attached Agreement by the Clerk of the Board, including extensions and amendments that do|

| |not materially impact or alter either the grant program or funding level. |

| |Adopt the resolution titled “A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO RELATING TO THE SAN DIEGO |

| |DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT WITH THE CALIFORNIA VICTIM COMPENSATION AND GOVERNMENT CLAIMS BOARD” approving the |

| |Joint Powers Agreement with the State of Board in the amount of $1,184,530 for the two-year term July 1, 2007 through June 30, |

| |2009 and authorize execution of the attached Agreement by the Clerk of the Board, including extensions and amendments that do not|

| |materially impact or alter either the grant program or funding level. |

| |ACTION: |

| |ON MOTION of Supervisor Slater-Price, seconded by Supervisor Jacob, the Board took action as recommended, on Consent, adopting |

| |Resolution No. 07-139 entitled: A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO RELATING TO THE SAN DIEGO |

| |COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S CRIMINAL RESTITUTION COMPACT WITH THE CALIFORNIA VICTIM COMPENSATION AND GOVERNMENT CLAIMS BOARD, and |

| |Resolution No 07-140 entitled: A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO RELATING TO THE SAN DIEGO |

| |COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT WITH THE CALIFORNIA VICTIM COMPENSATION AND GOVERNMENT CLAIMS BOARD. |

| |June 30, 2008 from the Governor’s Office of Homeland Security. If approved, the Operation Stonegarden grant funds will be used |

| |to purchase an armored response vehicle. The armored response vehicle will enhance the Sheriff’s Special Enforcement Detail’s |

| |ability to provide a variety of support services to the Department as well as other local and federal law enforcement agencies. |

| |The armored response vehicle will also improve the ability to mobilize personnel and equipment to provide tactical support during|

| |critical incidents. There is no local match requirement for this grant. |

| |FISCAL IMPACT: |

| |Funds for this request are not budgeted. The funding source is unanticipated grant revenue from the Governor’s Office of |

| |Homeland Security, Operation Stonegarden Grant. If approved, this request will result in Fiscal Year 2007-08 cost and revenue of|

| |$275,000, and will require the addition of zero staff years |

| |RECOMMENDATION: |

| |recovery for grants and requires that Board approval be given in advance of application for funds. |

| |recommendations on the distribution of the Cal-ID funds, which are deposited in the Sheriff’s Fingerprint ID Trust Fund, |

| |authorized the approval for funding of a Latent Print Examiner at the Chula Vista Police Department Crime Laboratory. The |

| |examiner is part of a regional strategy approved by the RAN Board to reduce the current backlog in cases involving fingerprint or|

| |latent analysis. The new examiner will be responsible for Chula Vista forensic casework and regional forensic casework with some |

| |regional training responsibility. This is a request to authorize the Sheriff’s Department to execute an agreement with the Chula |

| |Vista Police Department to provide funding for a latent print examiner position. |

| |FISCAL IMPACT: |

| |Funds for this request are not budgeted in the Fiscal Year 2007-09 Operational Plan. If approved, this request will result in |

| |current year costs and revenue of $96,390, which represent the latent print examiner’s salary and benefits. The funding source is|

| |revenue from the Sheriff’s Fingerprint ID Trust Fund. If approved, this request will result in Fiscal Year 2008-09 costs and |

| |revenue of $99,282. This request will not require any additional staff years. |

| |RECOMMENDATION: |

| |SHERIFF |

| |Establish appropriations of $96,390, for Contracted Services in the Sheriff’s Department based on revenue from the Sheriff |

| |Fingerprint ID Trust Fund. (4 VOTES) |

| |Authorize the Sheriff to execute an agreement with the City of Chula Vista for Cal-ID funding for a Latent Print Examiner in the |

| |City of Chula Vista Crime Laboratory and any amendments, and/or revisions due to changes in service level that do not materially |

| |impact or alter either the program or funding level. |

| |ACTION: |

| |ON MOTION of Supervisor Slater-Price, seconded by Supervisor Jacob, the Board took action as recommended, on Consent. |

| |AYES: Cox, Jacob, Slater-Price, Roberts, Horn |

| |

|6. |SUBJECT: |FY 2007 JUSTICE ASSISTANCE GRANT (DISTRICT: ALL) |

| |amount of $285,169 for the period October 1, 2007 through September 30, 2010. This Federal program is administered by the United|

| |States Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance and consolidates the previous Edward J. Byrne Memorial Grant Program |

| |and the Local Law Enforcement Block Grant (LLEBG) Program into a single allocation to be split and used by the City of San Diego |

| |and the County. The funding allocated to San Diego County for program year 2007 is $285,169. If this request is approved, |

| |$106,377 will be allocated to the Health and Human Services Agency for the Adult Drug Court program for treatment and testing. |

| |The remaining $178,792 will be allocated to the Probation Department to support the costs of gang suppression activities. |

| |FISCAL IMPACT: |

| |Health and Human Services Agency |

| |The funds for this request are included in the Health and Human Services Agency’s Fiscal Year 2007-09 Adopted Operational Plan. |

| |The funding source is revenue from the United States Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance. If approved, this |

| |request will result in current year costs and revenues of $106,377 and will require no additional staff. |

| | |

| |

| |

|7. |SUBJECT: |EMERGENCY MASS NOTIFICATION SYSTEM CONTRACT AWARD (DISTRICT: ALL) |

| |OVERVIEW: |

| |Wildfires, earthquakes and terrorism are just three of many threats that face the San Diego region. When an emergency occurs, it|

| |is critical to have the ability to pass accurate information from emergency managers to residents as quickly as possible. In |

| |addition to communicating through the Emergency Alert System and through the media, advanced mass notification systems can |

| |provide immediate notification to residents through phone calls, e-mails, and text messages. If approved, this request will allow|

| |the County to purchase a state-of-the-art mass notification system allowing for the rapid notification of impacted communities. |

| |This system would be available for use by the County and all cities within the County during emergencies and disasters. |

| |FISCAL IMPACT: |

| |Funds for this request are budgeted in the Office of Emergency Services. The funding source is the Federal Fiscal Year 2006 |

| |Emergency Management Program Grant (EMPG) funds. The purpose of the EMPG program is to improve local emergency management |

| |capabilities. If approved, this request will result in Fiscal Year 2007-08 costs and revenue of $200,000 and will require the |

| |addition of no staff years. Ongoing maintenance costs in Fiscal Years 2008-09 and 2009-10 are expected to be $19,000 and will be|

| |supported by subsequent year EMPG grant funds. |

| |RECOMMENDATION: |

| |CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER |

| |In accordance with Section 401 et seq, of the County Administrative Code authorize the Director, Department of Purchasing and |

| |Contracting to award a contract for a mass notification system to Twenty First Century Communications for a term of three years, |

| |with one option year and up to an additional six months if needed, and to amend the contract as needed to reflect changes to |

| |services and funding, subject to approval of the Director, Office of Emergency Services. |

| | |

| |Authorize the Director, Office of Emergency Services to make the system available to all local government and special districts |

| |throughout the San Diego Operational Area pursuant to the provisions of the Mass Notification Protocol. |

| |ACTION: |

| |ON MOTION of Supervisor Cox, seconded by Supervisor Roberts, the Board took action as recommended. |

| |AYES: Cox, Jacob, Slater-Price, Roberts, Horn |

| |

| |

|8. |SUBJECT: |SAN DIEGO HIV HEALTH SERVICES PLANNING COUNCIL MEMBER APPOINTMENTS (DISTRICT: ALL) |

| |OVERVIEW: |

| |The Board of Supervisors adopted a Resolution on November 6, 1990 (47) establishing the HIV Health Services Planning Council |

| |(Planning Council), a requirement for the County of San Diego to receive federal Ryan White CARE Act (RWCA) emergency relief |

| |funds. These funds are used to provide health care and supportive services to San Diego residents living with HIV/AIDS. On July|

| |25, 2006 (1), the Board of Supervisors reauthorized and reestablished the Planning Council. The RWCA was reauthorized by |

| |Congress in December 2006 as the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act. |

| | |

| |Today’s action recommends the appointment of four new members to fill vacancies on the HIV Health Services Planning Council. |

| |FISCAL IMPACT: |

| |There is no fiscal impact as a result of this action. |

| |RECOMMENDATION: |

| |CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER |

| |Make the following new appointments to the Planning Council, to complete vacant terms scheduled to expire on July 24, 2011: |

| |Susan Frye |

| |Larry Graff |

| |Sheri Kirshenbaum |

| |Michele May |

| |ACTION: |

| |ON MOTION of Supervisor Slater-Price, seconded by Supervisor Jacob, the Board took action as recommended, on Consent. |

| |AYES: Cox, Jacob, Slater-Price, Roberts, Horn |

| |

| |

|9. |SUBJECT: |DONATIONS TO BENEFIT THE CHILDREN AT THE A.B. AND JESSIE POLINSKY CHILDREN’S CENTER AND AUTHORITY TO |

| | |SEEK ADDITIONAL FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR CHILD WELFARE SERVICES PROGRAMS (DISTRICT: ALL) |

| |OVERVIEW: |

| |The Board of Supervisors has demonstrated a long-standing commitment to support programs benefiting children who may become |

| |dependents of the County due to parental abuse, neglect or abandonment. As a result, the County seeks to strengthen services |

| |designed for at-risk children, as well as for current and former foster children and their families or caretakers. |

| | |

| |Donations to the A.B. and Jessie Polinsky Children’s Center (PCC), the County’s emergency shelter, benefit the children who, |

| |through no fault of their own, require emergency housing. The San Diego County Administrative Code and Board Policy require Board|

| |approval for the acceptance of gifts and donations over $5,000. The Health and Human Services Agency periodically receives cash |

| |gifts and in-kind donations worth $5,000 or more to benefit resident children at PCC. The Board last accepted 21 donations |

| |valued at $236,113 on May 9, 2006 (11). Today’s action will authorize the acceptance of cash and in-kind donations totaling |

| |$227,318, for the benefit of children at PCC and in-kind donations totaling $20,500 for the benefit of children in Child Welfare |

| |Services and Residential Services. |

| | |

| | |

| |Other programs benefiting at-risk children include Adoptions, Foster Care Licensing, Drug and Alcohol Treatment, Independent |

| |Living Skills and the County’s San Pasqual Academy for foster teens. Many federal and State grant opportunities exist for child |

| |welfare programs, but often require a short turnaround time for the application process. On June 13, 2004 (12), the Board of |

| |Supervisors authorized the Director, Health and Human Services Agency, to seek additional funding opportunities for CWS programs |

| |through June 2007. Today’s action would extend this authority to allow CWS to seek grants from federal, State and private |

| |foundation sources though 2012 to improve outcomes for children and families involved in the Child Welfare System consistent with|

| |the County’s Strategic Plan. |

| | |

| |If the County is selected to receive a grant, staff will return to the Board with detailed information on the amount to be |

| |awarded, match requirements and future sustainability, and for authority to accept the funds based on the grant requirements and |

| |terms. |

| |FISCAL IMPACT: |

| |Approval of these recommendations will add $227,318 in gifts and donations to the resources available to support the activities |

| |for the children at the A.B. and Jessie Polinsky Children’s Center, and $20,500 to the resources available to support foster |

| |children in Child Welfare Services and Residential Services. |

| | |

| |There is no fiscal impact from the requested action to authorize application for additional grant funds. If any grant |

| |applications are successful, staff will return to the Board to authorize acceptance of such grants in order to establish funding |

| |for programs. There will be no change in net General Fund costs and no additional staff years associated with this action. |

| |RECOMMENDATION: |

| |CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER |

| |Accept gifts and donations totaling $227,318 to the A.B. and Jessie Polinsky Children’s Center from: Maxine Braunschweig Trust, |

| |Pure Flo, My Stuff Bags Foundation, KIFM, Imelda O. Decker, Child Abuse Prevention Foundation, Judy Hall, Marx Foundation, The |

| |Delta Kappa Gamma Society International Area XVI, Toby Wells Foundation, Greek Sombrero/Jamul Tuna Club, Carol L. Hopkins, Valley|

| |Vista Mortgage Corporation, Susan and Robert Mani, Children Uniting Nations, Bird Rock Community, CMF of America, Gentlemen’s |

| |Alliance; and accept gifts and donations totaling $20,500 to Child Welfare Services and Residential Services from the Child Abuse|

| |Prevention Foundation. |

| | |

| |Authorize the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors to send letters of appreciation to the donors. |

| | |

| |Authorize the Director of Health and Human Services Agency to seek federal, state, and private foundation grants to augment Child|

| |Welfare Services programs which benefit at risk children and families, and current and former foster youth and their families or |

| |caregivers over the next five years. If the County is selected to receive such grants, the Board would be requested to authorize |

| |acceptance. |

| |ACTION: |

| |ON MOTION of Supervisor Slater-Price, seconded by Supervisor Jacob, the Board took action as recommended, on Consent. |

| |AYES: Cox, Jacob, Slater-Price, Roberts, Horn |

| |

| |

|10. |SUBJECT: |COUNTY MEDICAL SERVICES PROGRAM MODIFICATIONS (DISTRICT: ALL) |

| |OVERVIEW: |

| |The County Medical Services (CMS) program provides necessary medical care for San Diego County residents ages 21 through 64 |

| |years, who have no family support or other financial resources for medical care and meet prescribed income limits and other |

| |eligibility criteria. The current income maintenance need level for the CMS program is 135% of the Federal Poverty Level (“FPL”)|

| |or $1,149 per month for an individual. Individuals earning up to $1,149 per month are eligible for primary care, hospital |

| |emergency and inpatient care, other approved medical services and pharmaceuticals. In Fiscal Year 2006-07 the CMS program |

| |provided care to approximately 17,600 certified eligible individuals for a total program cost of approximately $67 million. |

| | |

| |If approved, this request would establish, pending the outcome of litigation challenging the current CMS eligibility formula, an |

| |interim CMS eligibility formula consisting of a monthly maintenance need level for access to CMS of 165% FPL ($1,404 monthly) |

| |with a required co-payment for individuals with income above 135% FPL. This program change will take effect by December 2007. |

| |FISCAL IMPACT: |

| |While funding is included in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2007-09 Operational Plan for the Health and Human Services Agency, it will |

| |require a reprioritization of programs and expenditures. Other programs will be delayed or not implemented as a result. It is |

| |anticipated that the change in the income eligibility level will result in a yearly increase in costs of $3 million. The source |

| |of funds is a combination of Tobacco Settlement dollars and General Purpose Revenue. It will also result in the addition of 0.5 |

| |full time equivalent (FTE) staff year. |

| |RECOMMENDATION: |

| |CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER |

| |Direct the Chief Administrative Officer to establish, pending the outcome of litigation challenging the current CMS eligibility |

| |formula, an interim CMS eligibility formula consisting of a monthly maintenance need level of 165% of the annually adjusted FPL |

| |with a required co-payment for individuals with incomes above 135% of the annually adjusted FPL, effective by December 2007. |

| | |

| |Authorize the addition of 0.5 FTE position under the classification of Human Services Specialist to the Health and Human Services|

| |Agency budget for Fiscal Year 2007-08. |

| |ACTION: |

| |Noting for the record the addition of a proposed fee schedule for co-payments, ON MOTION of Supervisor Jacob, seconded by |

| |Supervisor Horn, the Board took action as recommended. |

| |AYES: Cox, Jacob, Slater-Price, Roberts, Horn |

| |

| |

|11. |SUBJECT: |APPROVE CONCEPTUAL SITE PLAN, PHASING, AND COST ESTIMATES FOR COUNTY OPERATIONS CENTER AND ANNEX |

| | |REDEVELOPMENT; APPROVE AMENDMENT OF EXCLUSIVE NEGOTIATION AGREEMENT (DISTRICT: 4) |

| |OVERVIEW: |

| |On December 12, 2006 (14), the Board of Supervisors selected the development team of Lowe Enterprises, Inc. and Fairfield |

| |Residential LLC to enter into exclusive negotiations to form an agreement to develop the County Operations Center and Annex |

| |properties in Kearny Mesa. An Exclusive Negotiation Agreement was authorized for execution with Lowe Enterprises to commence |

| |planning and site studies for this project. The Board requested that phasing of the development of the County Operations Center |

| |be considered in the planning process and directed staff to return to the Board with a phasing plan and project costs for their |

| |consideration and approval. |

| | |

| |The action today requests Board approval of a conceptual site plan for the County Operations Center; information regarding three |

| |phasing alternatives with cost estimates; funding of $4.5 million for site planning, programming, engineering, schematic design, |

| |CEQA preparation, project consultants, legal, and other related project costs; and authorization to execute an amended Exclusive |

| |Negotiation Agreement with Lowe Enterprises; direction for the Chief Financial Officer to develop a financing plan for the |

| |project; and authorization for the Director, Department of General Services to commence site searches for all departments and |

| |functions that are required to be relocated to provide for the development of the County Operations Center and anticipated future|

| |development of the Annex. |

| |FISCAL IMPACT: |

| |This action, if approved, would establish appropriations of $4,250,000 in the Capital Outlay Fund, based on Fiscal Year 2006-07 |

| |fund balance available in the General Fund for site planning, programming, engineering, schematic design, CEQA preparation, |

| |project consultants, legal, and other related County Operations Center project costs. Additional staff costs to initiate site |

| |searches for the relocation of departments from the County Operations Center and the Annex will be approximately $250,000, also |

| |based on Fiscal Year 2006-07 fund balance available in the General Fund. If the Disposition and Development Agreement is |

| |approved, additional funding for County staff, consultants, and construction management services will be necessary and |

| |anticipated to be funded from the General Fund. |

| |RECOMMENDATION: |

| |CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER |

| |Find that the proposed recommendations are not subject to CEQA because it is too early in the conceptualized, design, and |

| |planning process to evaluate the environmental impacts. |

| |Approve in principle for purposes of conducting environmental review the development of the County Operations Center in |

| |accordance with the conceptual site plan, three alternative phasing plans, proposed off-site relocations, and estimated overall |

| |project costs. |

| |Establish appropriations of $4,250,000 in Contributions to Capital Outlay Fund (Operating Transfer Out), for the County |

| |Operations Center project, based on Fiscal Year 2006-07 General Fund Balance available.  (4 VOTES) |

| |for departments and functions that will be required to be relocated as a result of the COC and Annex properties redevelopment, |

| |Inc. and subject to negotiations and a determination of a fair and reasonable price, amend the existing Contract No. 520098 by an|

|12. |SUBJECT: |GROUND LEASE AGREEMENT WITH SAN DIEGO RURAL FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT AT EAST MESA (DISTRICT: 1) |

| |OVERVIEW: |

| |The East Otay Mesa area is experiencing rapid population growth fueled by the completion of the Highway 125 extension to Highway |

| |905. This growth increases the need for additional fire protection facilities. The San Diego Rural Fire Protection District |

| |(SDRFPD) is in discussions with land owners and the County’s Department of Planning and Land Use to site a fire station in this |

| |growing community.  This process may take five to seven years to complete.  In the interim, SDRFPD is interested in locating a |

| |fire truck and crew on a small portion of the County’s East Mesa property adjacent to the juvenile and adult detention |

| |facilities. |

| |Supervisor Cox and Sheriff Kolender are keenly aware of the need to provide timely response to fire and medical emergencies |

| |throughout the East Otay area.  For this reason, we are requesting the Board of Supervisors authorize the negotiation of a ground|

| |lease with SDRFPD for approximately one-half acre of County owned land for vehicle parking and the construction of a temporary |

| |fire services facility at East Mesa.  In addition to benefiting the community at large, the County will receive immediate fire |

| |and emergency response for its facilities.  It is recommended that this benefit be considered as an offset to monetary rent, in |

| |accordance with paragraph 15 of Board Policy F-51. |

| |FISCAL IMPACT: |

| |The County will be receiving in-kind services in fire protection benefits and $1 annually from this lease agreement. |

| |RECOMMENDATION: |

| |VICE-CHAIRMAN COX AND SHERIFF |

| |Find in accordance with Section 15303 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, that this project is exempt |

| |from the provisions of the Act, because it involves the installation of a minor structure. |

| |Find that the lease of property to the SDRFPD is in the public interest and that the conveyance will not substantially conflict |

| |or interfere with the use of the property by the County. |

| | |

| | |

| |Pursuant to Government Code Section 25536, authorize the Director, Department of General Services, to execute a five-year Ground |

| |Lease Agreement with the San Diego Rural Fire Protection District for $1 a year with one five-year option to extend for purposes |

| |of vehicle parking and construction of a temporary fire services facility. |
