|1. |SUBJECT: |IMPROVING STROKE CARE IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY (DISTRICT: ALL) |

| |OVERVIEW: |

| |Stroke continues to be one of the leading causes of death and disability in the United States.  Every 45 seconds someone’s life is |

| |threatened by a stroke. Between 1999 and 2002, there was an average of 1,546 stroke-related deaths each year in San Diego County.  The |

| |economic impact of stroke and cardiovascular disease in the United States is vast. In 2004 the economic impact was estimated to be over |

| |$360 billion. Through education and awareness we can reduce the risk of stroke, and with prompt treatment, we can improve outcomes for |

| |stroke victims.  Today’s action will launch a cooperative initiative with community partners to improve stroke care in San Diego County. |

| |RECOMMENDATION: |

| |CHAIRWOMAN SLATER-PRICE: |

| |Direct the Chief Administrative Officer to convene a “Stroke Task Force” with the goal of improving health outcomes for stroke victims in |

| |San Diego County. |

| |Direct the Chief Administrative Officer to return to the Board of Supervisors in 180 days with a Stroke Task Force progress report on |

| |improving health outcomes for stroke care in San Diego County. |

| |Allocate $20,000 from the Community Projects Grant Budget (org 0263) to the American Stroke Association Division of the American Heart |

| |Association for a public awareness and educational campaign that will inform the public how to recognize the signs and symptoms of stroke |

| |and how to obtain help. |

| |Authorize the Chief Financial Officer to execute a grant agreement with this organization establishing terms for receipt of the funds |

| |described above. |

| |Find that the grant award described above has a public purpose. |

| |ACTION: |

| |Adding a Recommendation that a representative from the Sharp Grossmont Hospital Systemwide Emergency Stroke Program be invited to |

| |participate on the “Stroke Task Force;” ON MOTION of Supervisor Slater-Price, seconded by Supervisor Horn, the Board took action as |

| |recommended. |

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

| |

| |

|2. |SUBJECT: |ACCEPTANCE OF REVENUE/GRANT AGREEMENT TO REDUCE BINGE AND UNDERAGE DRINKING (DISTRICT: ALL) |

| |OVERVIEW: |

| |On December 7, 2004 (3), the Board authorized the Health and Human Services Agency Director to accept a $300,000 grant from the California |

| |Department of Alcohol and Drug Program’s State Incentive Grant program. The grant award funded the preparation of a plan to reduce binge |

| |drinking in the County of San Diego, which was submitted to the State for consideration for future funding on June 30, 2005. |

| |On August 4, 2005, the California Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs notified the Health and Human Services Agency that the two-year |

| |implementation plan had been accepted for funding beginning October 1, 2005 through September 30, 2007. The funding amount is $300,000 for |

| |each of the two federal fiscal years. |

| |Today’s item requests the Board to accept and appropriate the funding from the California Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs grant. |

| |FISCAL IMPACT: |

| |The Health and Human Services Agency FY 2005-06 Operational Plan includes $75,000 for the State Incentive Grant. If approved, this action |

| |will increase current year costs and revenue by $300,000 and FY 2006-07 costs and revenue by $300,000. The funding source for the |

| |increased revenue is the California Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs. There will be no additional staff years and no increase to |

| |net General Fund Cost. |

| |RECOMMENDATION: |

| |CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER |

| |Waive Board Policy B-29, Fees, Grants, Revenue Contracts – Department Responsibility for Cost Recovery. |

| |Ratify and authorize the Health and Human Services Director, or her designee, to execute a $600,000 grant from the California Department of|

| |Alcohol and Drug Programs for Binge and Underage Drinking prevention services for the period of October 1, 2005 through September 30, 2007.|

| |Establish additional appropriations in the amount of $300,000 in the Health and Human Services Agency, Alcohol and Drug Services Substance |

| |Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant Funds (45848) based on unanticipated revenue from the California Department of Alcohol and Drug |

| |Programs (4 Votes). |

| |ACTION: |

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

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

| |

|3. |SUBJECT: |ACCEPTANCE OF ADULT DRUG COURT FUNDS |

| | |(DISTRICT: ALL) |

| |OVERVIEW: |

| |On August 20, 1996 (10), at the recommendation of Supervisor Roberts, the Board approved a series of actions to establish a Drug Court |

| |Pilot Program to provide offenders a voluntary alternative to incarceration. Subsequently, the Board expanded the Drug Court Program to all|

| |four divisions of the Superior Court making it an integral part of the County's overall alcohol and other drug service delivery system. |

| |Those offenders who enter the program are required to participate in alcohol or other drug treatment and testing services with ongoing |

| |intensive supervision by the Court. |

| | |

| |On March 31, 1998 (47), the Board authorized staff to seek funding from other public agencies and private organizations to develop |

| |additional resources for maintenance of the Drug Court Program. |

| |On May 4, 2005, the Oceanside City Council voted to provide $50,000 to support the North County Drug Court Program. These funds will be |

| |used to support the costs of treatment and testing for 10 additional drug court clients in the North County program. Funding for future |

| |years is dependent upon continued authorization of funds by the City of Oceanside. |

| |An unmet need has been the ability to provide mental health services to clients enrolled in the Adult Drug Court Program. Funding was |

| |received through the Department of Justice in the amount of $199,926 for the period of July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2007. Funding will be|

| |added to existing Adult Drug Court contracts to support a licensed mental health clinician to provide mental health assessments and |

| |consultation for the program. |

| |Today’s item requests the Board to accept funding from the City of Oceanside and the grant from the Department of Justice and to |

| |appropriate funding. |

| |FISCAL IMPACT: |

| |The Health and Human Services Agency FY 2005-06 Operational Plan includes $1,275,000 for the Adult Drug Court Treatment and Testing |

| |Program. If approved, this action will increase current year costs and revenue by $149,963, and FY 2006-07 costs and revenue by $99,963. |

| |The funding sources for the increased revenue are the City of Oceanside and the United States Department of Justice. There will be no |

| |change in net General Fund cost and no additional staff years. |

| |RECOMMENDATION: |

| |CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER |

| |Waive Board Policy B-29, Fees, Grants, Revenue Contracts – Department Responsibility for Cost Recovery. |

| |Authorize the Health and Human Services Agency Director, or her designee, to execute a Memorandum of Understanding with the City of |

| |Oceanside for the period of July 1, 2005 to June 30, 2006 and accept the amount of $50,000 to fund Adult Drug Court Treatment and Testing |

| |Program. |

| |Ratify and authorize the Health and Human Services Agency Director, or her designee, to execute a $199,926 grant from the United States |

| |Department of Justice for the period of July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2007 to fund mental health services for the Adult Drug Court |

| |Treatment and Testing Program. |

| |Establish appropriations in the amount of $149,963 in the Health and Human Services Agency, Alcohol and Drug Services (44975) based on |

| |unanticipated revenue from the City of Oceanside ($50,000) and the United States Department of Justice ($99,963) (4 Votes). |

| |ACTION: |

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

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

| |

| |

|4. |SUBJECT: |MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES -- FISCAL YEAR 2005-06 FEDERAL BLOCK GRANT SPENDING PLAN (DISTRICT: ALL) |

| |OVERVIEW: |

| |The Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) annually receives funding from a federal block grant source, Substance Abuse and Mental Health |

| |Services Administration (SAMHSA). SAMHSA funds must be used for services to mentally ill adults, children, and adolescents. To comply |

| |with California Department of Mental Health requirements, a spending plan for the use of these funds must be developed annually. The Board|

| |ratified the Fiscal Year 2004-05 SAMHSA spending plan on August 17, 2004 (4). Today’s action will accept the SAMHSA Federal Block Grant |

| |funds for FY 2005-06 and ratify the FY 2005-06 plan, which has been submitted to the State in accordance with State procedures. In line |

| |with previous Board direction, this action also seeks authorization for the Director, Health and Human Services Agency, to approve the |

| |revised mid-year FY 2005-06 spending plan. |

| |FISCAL IMPACT: |

| |Funds are included in the FY 2005-06 Operational Plan. If approved, this request will result in FY 2005-06 cost and revenue of $3,213,726,|

| |an increase of $33,035 over FY 2004-05, and subsequent year cost and revenue of $3,213,726. The funding source is Substance Abuse and |

| |Mental Health Services Administration grant funding of $3,213,726. There will be no change in net General Fund cost and no additional |

| |staff years. |

| |RECOMMENDATION: |

| |CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER |

| |Accept the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Federal Block Grant funds of $3,213,726 for FY 2005-06. |

| |Ratify the proposed SAMHSA spending plan for FY 2005-06 for $2,334,874 in ongoing annual base funding and $878,852 in dual diagnosis |

| |set-aside, for a total of $3,213,726, and authorize the Director, Health and Human Services Agency, to approve the revised mid-year FY |

| |2005-06 spending plan. |

| |ACTION: |

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

| |

|5. |SUBJECT: |RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING DESIGNATION OF MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS AND OTHER PERSONS FOR INVOLUNTARY DETENTION OF |

| | |MENTALLY DISORDERED INDIVIDUALS (DISTRICT: ALL) |

| |OVERVIEW: |

| |State law authorizes police officers and designated mental health and other professionals to involuntarily detain certain mentally |

| |disordered individuals for up to 72 hours for treatment and evaluation. Persons involuntarily detained under State law must be gravely |

| |disabled, a danger to others, or a danger to themselves, and can only be placed in facilities designated under State law for involuntary |

| |detentions. The State gives the local Mental Health Director the authority to designate which mental health and other professionals can |

| |make determinations on involuntary detentions, and the responsibility to ensure that involuntary detentions and treatment while in |

| |detention are in compliance with State law. |

| |On December 6, 1994 (11), the Board approved a resolution authorizing the local Mental Health Director to designate certain qualified |

| |professionals with involuntary detention powers. Board action is requested to approve a revised resolution to reflect various programming,|

| |reorganization and system redesign changes that have occurred in the public mental health system since 1994, to reinforce standardized |

| |county-wide compliance with State law, and to respond to County and community concerns for improved accountability in determining |

| |involuntary detentions. |

| |FISCAL IMPACT: |

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

| |RECOMMENDATION: |

| |CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER |

| |Adopt the resolution entitled A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO PROVIDING FOR THE DESIGNATION OF MENTAL |

| |HEALTH PROFESSIONALS AND OTHER SPECIFIED PERSONS PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 5150 AND 5585.50 OF THE WELFARE AND INSTITUTIONS CODE. |

| |ACTION: |

| |ON MOTION of Supervisor Horn, seconded by Supervisor Roberts, this item was withdrawn at the request of the Chief Administrative Officer on|

| |Consent. |

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

| |

| |

|6. |SUBJECT: |APPROVAL OF REVISED COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO MENTAL HEALTH BOARD BYLAWS (DISTRICT: ALL) |

| |OVERVIEW: |

| |Effective September 1, 2005, the County of San Diego Mental Health Board began holding its regularly scheduled meeting on the first |

| |Thursday of each month, starting at 4:00 p.m. at the County Administration Center. The amended bylaws reflect the new meeting time for the |

| |Mental Health Board as required by Section 54594(a) of the Ralph M. Brown Act. |

| |Additionally, the bylaws were amended to reflect changes in policy regarding unexcused absences and what constitutes a quorum for the |

| |Mental Health Board’s Executive Committee. |

| |This item requests that your Board, as the County of San Diego’s mental health governing body, approve the amended bylaws as proposed by |

| |the Mental Health Board, consistent with Welfare and Institutions Code, Section 5604.5. |

| |FISCAL IMPACT: |

| |N/A |

| |RECOMMENDATION: |

| |CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER |

| |Approve the amended County of San Diego Mental Health Board bylaws, as required by the Welfare and Institutions Code, Section 5604.5 |

| |ACTION: |

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

| |

|7. |SUBJECT: |DISTRICT ATTORNEY – DOMESTIC VIOLENCE STALKING GRANT FUNDING (STATE OFFICE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES) (DISTRICT: ALL) |

| |OVERVIEW: |

| |On September 21, 2004 (4), your Board approved funding for the seventh year Domestic Violence Stalking grant application for the period |

| |July 1, 2004 through June 30, 2005. This grant was augmented and extended for an additional six months on a non-competitive basis through |

| |December 31, 2005 in the amount of $57,823 and required a local match of $19,274, which will be satisfied through in-kind resources. |

| |This is a request to approve the submission of the Domestic Violence Stalking Request for Proposal (RFP) to the State of California Office |

| |of Emergency Services (OES) in the amount of $90,000 for the period January 1, 2006 through June 30, 2006. If awarded, the grant will |

| |support the District Attorney’s efforts to vertically prosecute violent crimes against women, including sexual assault, domestic violence, |

| |and stalking. This is a competitive proposal in which OES intends to fund 15 District and City Attorney offices statewide. If awarded, |

| |the grant requires a local match of $30,000, which will be supported by in-kind resources. For the past seven years this grant has not |

| |been competitive. |

| |FISCAL IMPACT: |

| |Funds for this request are budgeted in the District Attorney’s Fiscal Year 2005-06 Adopted Operational Plan. If approved, this request |

| |will result in current year direct costs of $120,000 and revenue of $90,000. The funding source is grant revenue from the State of |

| |California Office of Emergency Services. A legislatively required match of $30,000 will be satisfied through in-kind contributions from |

| |the District Attorney’s Office. No additional staff years are required. |

| |RECOMMENDATION: |

| |DISTRICT ATTORNEY |

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

| |for grants. |

| |Adopt the resolution approving the submission of the Domestic Violence Stalking Request for Proposal in the amount of $90,000 for the |

| |period January 1, 2006 through June 30, 2006 and authorize execution of the attached grant documents by the Clerk of the Board, including |

| |any extensions or amendments thereof that do not materially impact or alter either the grant program or funding level. |

| |ACTION: |

| |ON MOTION of Supervisor Horn, seconded by Supervisor Roberts, the Board took action as recommended on Consent, adopting Resolution No. |

| |05-190 entitled: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY TO SUBMIT THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE STALKING (VIOLENCE AGAINST |

| |WOMEN VERTICAL PROSECUTION PROGRAM) GRANT PROPOSAL. |

| |

|8. |SUBJECT: |DISTRICT ATTORNEY – APPROVAL OF PERSONNEL LOAN AGREEMENT WITH THE FAIR POLITICAL PRACTICES COMMISSION (DISTRICT: |

| | |ALL) |

| |OVERVIEW: |

| |The District Attorney's Office needs to ensure that its staff is well trained on the complex rules, regulations and opinions governing the |

| |enforcement of the Political Reform Act (PRA), in order to maintain fair and equitable countywide elections. The mission of the Fair |

| |Political Practices Commission (FPPC) is to promote the integrity of representative state and local government in California through fair, |

| |impartial interpretation and enforcement of political campaign, lobbying, and conflict of interest laws through the enforcement of the PRA.|

| |The FPPC is experiencing a case backlog and would benefit from an experienced prosecutor to assist with this backlog. The District |

| |Attorney is recommending the temporary placement of a Deputy District Attorney with the FPPC to assist them with their backlog and provide |

| |valuable knowledge and experience in the area of PRA violations. Today’s action would authorize the relocation of one Deputy District |

| |Attorney to the Fair Political Practices Commission in Sacramento for a period of six to eight months to prosecute violations of the PRA. |

| |The District Attorney's Office would be responsible for the salary and benefits of the Deputy District Attorney and initial travel expenses|

| |to Sacramento and back to San Diego. Short-term housing expenses would be the responsibility of the FPPC pursuant to the |

| |Interjurisdictional Personnel Loan Agreement and normal living expenses would be the responsibility of the Deputy District Attorney. |

| |FISCAL IMPACT: |

| |The District Attorney’s FY 2005-06 Adopted Operational Plan includes funding for travel and training activities that would be utilized for |

| |the purpose of reimbursing one Deputy District Attorney assigned to prosecute cases for the Fair Political Practices Commission, subject to|

| |Board approval. The Fair Political Practices Commission will pay for housing expenses and any costs incidental with prosecuting the |

| |Commission’s cases, while the Deputy District Attorney would be responsible for all other living expenses. The District Attorney will pay |

| |for initial travel to Sacramento and back to San Diego, as well as all salary and related benefits for the Deputy District Attorney |

| |assigned to the Fair Political Practices Commission. |

| |RECOMMENDATION: |

| |DISTRICT ATTORNEY |

| |Approve transfer to the FPPC and relocation of one Deputy District Attorney to Sacramento for the purpose of receiving training and |

| |providing prosecutorial assistance in prosecuting Fair Political Practices Commission cases. |

| |Authorize the District Attorney to execute the Interjurisdictional Personnel Loan Agreement between the Fair Political Practices Commission|

| |and the District Attorney’s Office subject to review and approval by County Counsel. |

| |Allow the transferred Deputy District Attorney to use San Diego County travel policies, rates and forms. |

| |ACTION: |

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

|9. |SUBJECT: |SHERIFF’S ACCEPTANCE OF COPS 2005 TECHNOLOGY GRANT FOR COMPLETION OF THE NORTH COUNTY LAW ENFORCEMENT DATA DISASTER |

| | |RECOVERY SITE |

| | |(DISTRICT: ALL) |

| |OVERVIEW: |

| |Since 2001, the Sheriff’s Department has been working to establish and maintain higher levels of stability in its law enforcement |

| |Information Technology (IT) and communications infrastructure. Integral to the Sheriff’s IT strategy is the creation of a secondary data |

| |center located away from the Sheriff’s primary IT operations facility in Kearny Mesa. This remote site would provide ongoing operational |

| |capability if the primary facility goes off-line due to a catastrophic event or power outage. |

| |The Department submitted a grant proposal to the U.S. Department of Justice, Community Policing Services (COPS) to assist in the |

| |establishment of a North County site and was awarded a grant in the amount of $493,322. The Sheriff’s Department is seeking authorization |

| |to accept the U.S. Department of Justice, Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) 2005 Technology Grant for the development of the |

| |North County Data Disaster Recovery Site in the North County Regional Center located in Vista. |

| |FISCAL IMPACT: |

| |Funds for this request are not budgeted. The funding source is a $493,322 COPS 2005 Technology Grant from the U.S. Department of Justice, |

| |Office of Community Oriented Policing Services. If approved, this request will result in $493,322 current year costs and revenues. Ongoing|

| |equipment, software and data center maintenance costs are estimated at $55,000 annually and will be included in the Sheriff’s Fiscal Year |

| |2006-2007 Operational Plan. This request will require the addition of no staff years. |

| |RECOMMENDATION: |

| |SHERIFF |

| |Waive the provisions of Board Policy B-29, which requires approval of the Board of Supervisors prior to grant submission. |

| |Waive Board Policy A-91, Mid-Year Budget Changes. |

| |Ratify the submission and authorize the acceptance of the COPS 2005 Technology Grant for $493,322 from the U.S. Department of Justice, |

| |Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, for the period December 8, 2004 through December 7, 2007. |

| |Authorize the Sheriff to execute the COPS 2005 Technology Grant documents and any extensions, amendments, or revisions that do not |

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

| |Establish appropriations of $493,322 in the Sheriff’s Department for services and supplies and fixed assets based on unanticipated revenue |

| |from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services. (4 VOTES) |

| |

|10. |SUBJECT: |MEDICAL EXAMINER FORENSIC TOXICOLOGY SERVICES CONTRACT WITH THE COUNTY OF SAN BERNARDINO (DISTRICT: ALL) |

| |OVERVIEW: |

| |This is a request to approve and authorize a 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 Costs. |

| |These contracted toxicology services have been provided to the County of San Bernardino since December 1, 1998, with the most recent |

| |contract having expired on June 30, 2005. The present recommendation is for approval of a one- year contract beginning July 1, 2005, for |

| |estimated annual revenues of up to $300,000. |

| |FISCAL IMPACT: |

| |A portion of the funds, $185,400, is included in the Fiscal Year 2005-06 Operational Plan. The revenue source is the County of San |

| |Bernardino. If approved, this request will result in up to $300,000 current year costs and revenue 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 May 13, 2003 |

| |(18). |

| |RECOMMENDATION: |

| |CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER |

| |Waive Board Policy A-91, Mid-Year Budget Changes. |

| |Approve and authorize the Medical Examiner to execute a Revenue Contract for Forensic Toxicology Services with the County of San |

| |Bernardino, effective July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006, subject to County Counsel approval. |

| |Establish appropriations of $114,600 in Services and Supplies for laboratory supplies in the Medical Examiner Department based on |

| |unanticipated revenue from the County of San Bernardino. (4 VOTES) |

| |On August 12, 2003 (#7) the Board of Supervisors authorized the Director of Purchasing and Contracting to issue a competitive solicitation |

| |for the Department of Child Support Services (DCSS) to print and mail billing statements and to provide a web based child support credit |

| |card payment system (e-pay). On January 1, 2004 a contract was awarded to PNMit for a term of three (3) years, with two (2) option years. |

| |The contract terms and conditions of the agreement allow for an expansion of the printing and mailing services to include additional DCSS |

| |mailings. The cost for additional services is projected to exceed the annual contract limit; therefore, DCSS is requesting approval to |

| |increase the PNMit contract from an annual cost of $340,000 to $558,000 to allow an expansion of the printing and mailing services and for |

| |a change in fees for e-pay services. |

| |FISCAL IMPACT: |

| |Funds for this request are budgeted. The annual cost for the revised contract will not exceed $558,000, and is fully revenue offset. The |

| |funding sources are IV-D Federal and State Child Support revenue. This request will require the addition of no staff years. |

| |RECOMMENDATION: |

| |CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER |

| |In accordance with Board Policy A-87, Competitive Procurement, authorize the Director of Department of Purchasing and Contracting to amend |

| |contract No. 46235 with PNMit to increase the authorized contract amount to reflect changes to services and funding, subject to the |

| |availability of funds; and to amend the contract as required to reflect these changes, subject to the approval of the Director, Department |

| |of Child Support Services. Waive the advertising requirement of Board Policy A-87. |

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

|13. |SUBJECT: |AUTHORIZE ENFORCEMENT OF THE COMBUSTIBLE VEGETATION AND OTHER FLAMMABLE MATERIALS ORDINANCE IN THE JULIAN-CUYAMACA, |

| | |VALLEY CENTER, AND RURAL FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICTS (DISTRICT: 1,2,5) |

| |OVERVIEW: |

| |On February 25, 2004 (29), the County of San Diego adopted an Ordinance relating to Combustible Vegetation and Other Flammable Materials to|

| |improve fire safety by reducing the accumulation of combustible vegetation and other flammable materials. The County currently has the |

| |responsibility and authority to enforce its Removal of Combustible Vegetation and Other Flammable Materials Ordinance in the unincorporated|

| |areas of the County outside of fire protection district boundaries. The authority and responsibility to enforce the Ordinance remains with |

| |the respective Fire Protection or related agencies for areas within fire district boundaries. |

| |The proposed Board action is for the County to accept the final enforcement responsibility of the Removal of Combustible Vegetation and |

| |Other Flammable Materials Ordinance from the Julian-Cuyamaca, Valley Center, and Rural Fire Protection Districts, as well as from the |

| |Yuima, Pauma Valley, and Mootamai Municipal Water Districts. This partnership with local fire protection and water districts will expedite |

| |the removal of combustible vegetation and other flammable materials while encouraging greater compliance with the Ordinance. The cost of |

| |enforcement and removal of the combustible materials is included in the County’s Fire Safety and Fuels Reduction Program. |

| |FISCAL IMPACT: |

| |Costs of implementing this program will be absorbed in the existing Fire Safety and Fuels Reduction program. The proposed action will |

| |require the addition of no staff years and will have no additional impact on the County General Fund. |

| |BUSINESS IMPACT STATEMENT: |

| |The County is committed to enlisting local agencies and technical experts to reduce fire hazards and support economic viability through |

| |utilization of resulting woody biomass. |

| |RECOMMENDATION: |

| |CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER |

| |Find that the proposed project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as specified under Public Resources Code |

| |Section 21080(b)(3), and CEQA Guidelines Section 15269(a), for Declared Emergency projects, and Public Resources Code Section 21080(b)(4) |

| |and CEQA Guidelines Section 15269(c) for areas outside of the Declared Emergency, for the reasons detailed in the Notice of Exemption Form |

| |on file with the Department of Planning and Land Use (Attachment A). |

| |Accept administrative and enforcement responsibility for the abatement of combustible vegetation and other flammable materials in the |

| |Julian-Cuyamaca, Valley Center, and Rural Fire Protection Districts and the Yuima, Pauma Valley, and Mootamai Municipal Water Districts in |

| |accordance with the Removal of Combustible Vegetation and Other Flammable Materials Ordinance. |

| | |DOWNTOWN BLOCK - ACQUISITION OF ASSESSOR’S PARCEL NUMBER 533-483-04, 05 (UNION STREET ASSOCIATES) AND APPROVAL OF |

| | |PARKING LEASE AMENDMENT (DISTRICT: 1) |

| |OVERVIEW: |

| |On September 20, 2005 (6), the Board of Supervisors directed the Clerk of the Board to publish the required Notice of Intention to Purchase|

| |for Assessor’s Number 533-483-04, 05, in accordance with Government Code Sections 25350 and 6063, setting Public Hearing for October 18, |

| |2005. |

| |On August 11, 1998 (22), the Board of Supervisors authorized the Department of General Services to enter into negotiations with the owners |

| |of the properties bounded by Union, State, B, and C streets in downtown San Diego. The County has subsequently acquired three of the four |

| |parcels that comprise this block, which is strategically located just north of the Hall of Justice and close to the Central Jail and could |

| |serve multiple County space needs in the downtown area. |

| |The Board is requested today to set a hearing for October 18, 2005 to consider the approval of the Purchase and Sale Agreement for the |

| |acquisition of final parcel, Assessor’s Parcel Number 533-483-04, 05 from Union Street Associates for $3,500,000 and approve a lease |

| |amendment that incorporates the parcel into an existing lease between Five Star Parking and the County. |

| |FISCAL IMPACT: |

| |If approved, this proposal will result in a current year cost of $3,515,000 from the Justice Facility Construction Fund (Capital Project |

| |1000181, Downtown Block acquisition), no annual cost, and no additional staff years. The current Five Star parking lease will be |

| |renegotiated and extended to include the new acquisition. The new annual net income from the parking lease will be $739,200, a $269,550 |

| |increase over the current lease. The lease payments will be deposited into the General Fund, Public Safety Group Executive Office as |

| |over-realized revenues. |

| |RECOMMENDATION: |

| |CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER |

| |Find, in accordance with Article 19, Section 15301 of the California Environmental Quality Act guidelines, that the proposed acquisition is|

| |categorically exempt from the environmental assessment, as it involves the continuation of an existing use. |

| |Approve the Purchase and Sale Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions for the purchase of Assessor’s Parcel Number 533-483-04, 05 from |

| |Union Street Associates for $3,500,000 and direct the Clerk of the Board to execute two originals of the contracts, upon receipt. |

| |Authorize the Director, Department of General Services, or assignee, to execute all escrow and related documents necessary to complete the |

| |purchase. |

| |Authorize the Director, Department of General Services to execute a lease amendment with Five Star Parking, upon receipt (4 VOTES). |

|15. |SUBJECT: |LA MESA BRANCH LIBRARY - MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING AND LIBRARY SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF LA MESA |

| | |(DISTRICT: 2) |

| | |(CARRYOVER FROM 9/20/05, AGENDA NO. 3) |

| |OVERVIEW: |

| |On September 20, 2005 (3), the Board of Supervisors continued this item to October 18, 2005. |

| |The County owns and operates the La Mesa branch library at 8055 University Avenue, La Mesa. |

| |The building is more than 40 years old and does not adequately meet the current and future needs of the community. On March 22, 2005 (4), |

| |the Board of Supervisors authorized the Director of the Department of General Services to enter into negotiations with the City of La Mesa |

| |for the transfer of the County Library parcel to the City. In exchange, the City will commit to provide new interim and permanent library |

| |facilities, all at no cost to the County. It is estimated that the interim library facility could be completed and ready for County |

| |occupancy within the next 18 months. |

| |The City desires to acquire the existing library building (County Parcel Number 2005-0190-A) to accommodate construction of a new police |

| |station. The City proposes to relocate the existing branch library into a new, interim library facility until the City secures the |

| |necessary funding to build a new, permanent library. The Memorandum of Understanding provides the framework for the future transfer of the|

| |County parcel, design, and construction of new, City-owned, interim and permanent library facilities, and future library operations in the |

| |new facilities. The Board is requested today to consider and approve the Memorandum of Understanding and Library Services Agreement. |

| |FISCAL IMPACT: |

| |There is no fiscal impact as a result of this action in Fiscal Year 2005-06. When the County relocates to the interim site following |

| |transfer of the County parcel to the City, there would be a net annual cost reduction to the County of $65,000 (in 2005-06 dollars) for |

| |maintenance, utilities, and custodial services at the current La Mesa Branch Library. The City will assume responsibility for these costs |

| |at the interim and permanent library facilities. In return, the County will transfer ownership of the County parcel to the City, the |

| |estimated current market value of which is $750,000. The value of the County’s no-cost occupancy of the interim and permanent library |

| |facilities over the anticipated 40-year term of the Library Services Agreement far exceeds the current market value of the County parcel. |

| |If the County parcel is transferred to the City and the City fails to obtain the funding required to commence construction of the permanent|

| |library within 10 years, the City would pay the County the fair market value, as of the date of termination of the Memorandum of |

| |Understanding, of the County parcel. No additional staff years are required as a result of this action. |

| |RECOMMENDATION: |

| |CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER |

| |Find that the proposed action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Article 5, Section 15060(c)(3) of the |

| |State CEQA Guidelines because it is not a project as defined by Section 15378. |

| |Approve the Memorandum of Understanding Between the City of La Mesa and the County of San Diego concerning the La Mesa Branch Library, and |

| |authorize the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors to execute two originals of the document, upon receipt. |

| |Approve the Library Services Agreement between the City of La Mesa and the County of San Diego for the Provision of Library Services at |

| |Both an Interim and Permanent Library, and authorize the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors to execute two originals of the Agreement, upon |

| |receipt. This Agreement will become effective upon the County’s occupancy of the interim library facility. |

| |ACTION: |

| |ON MOTION of Supervisor Roberts, seconded by Supervisor Cox, the Board continued the item until November 1, 2005. |

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

| |The fiscal impact of the proposed recommendations is $86,500.00. These actions will result in the addition of no staff years and no future|

| |costs. |

| |

|17. |SUBJECT: |PLAN TO REFUND OVERPAYMENTS OF TRANSIENT OCCUPANY TAX (DISTRICTS: ALL) |

| |OVERVIEW: |

| |As a result of recent litigation on whether the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) is applicable to a hotel on tribal land, it came to the |

| |County’s attention in June 2005 that the former Board of Supervisors in 1990 amended Section 22.203 of the County Code of Regulatory |

| |Ordinances to increase the TOT rate from 8% to 9% without voter approval. Consequently, on July 26, 2005 (15), the Board adopted an |

| |ordinance amending Section 22.203 to decrease the TOT rate from 9% to 8%, effective August 1, 2005. This letter recommends that your Board|

| |approve a plan to refund the overpayments of TOT for the applicable time periods. |

| |FISCAL IMPACT: |

| |The establishment of the TOT Refund Account will result in the use of $1 million of FY 04/05 General Fund Balance. |

| |Administrative costs pertaining to this project are expected to be funded through existing appropriations in the Treasurer-Tax Collector’s |

| |office. |

| |RECOMMENDATION: |

| |TREASURER-TAX COLLECTOR |

| |Approve the establishment of a TOT Refund Account and the transfer of $1 million to the Account funded by FY 04-05 General Fund balance. |

| |The TOT Refund Account will be maintained in the Treasurer’s office with the assets being monitored and invested by the Treasury staff. |

|24. |SUBJECT: |PROTECTING CALIFORNIA’S COASTLINE (DISTRICTS: ALL) |

| |OVERVIEW: |

| |The Minerals Management Service of the United States Department of the Interior has requested formal comments from local jurisdictions and |

| |other interested parties on its Proposed Five-Year Outer Continental Shelf Leasing Program and Environmental Impact Statement. |

| |Additionally, federal legislation entitled the Energy Policy Act of 2005 contains a requirement that the Secretary of the Interior conduct |

| |a comprehensive inventory of oil and gas resources beneath all waters of the Outer Continental Shelf, taking into account considerations |

| |such as the potential for the discovery of oil and gas. |

| |The Board of Supervisors has long opposed any offshore oil drilling in the coastal waters within the San Diego region and advocated for an |

| |increase in State and local governments' decision-making roles regarding offshore operations (2005 Legislative Policy Guidelines VII.A.1 |

| |and 2). Current efforts in Congress to revive offshore oil and gas leasing on the continental shelf and terminate the twenty-five-year |

| |bipartisan Congressional moratorium that protects the California coastline from offshore drilling would jeopardize California’s valuable |

| |fishing and tourism industries and seriously threaten the State’s fragile ocean ecosystems. Offshore oil production anywhere off the |

| |Pacific Coast puts at risk the quality of our air, water and marine environment and would adversely impact sensitive ocean resources. |

| |As the third largest county in California, San Diego County’s future is tied closely to the State’s. As such, any adverse impact on |

| |California’s coastline and ocean resources would have negative effects on this region. San Diego County must reaffirm our position in |

| |opposition to offshore oil drilling and the devastating impacts it would cause in California. |

| |FISCAL IMPACT: |

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

| |RECOMMENDATION: |

| |CHAIRWOMAN SLATER-PRICE AND SUPERVISOR COX: |

| |Direct the Chief Administrative Officer to draft a letter for the Chairwoman’s signature to United States Senators Barbara Boxer and Dianne|

| |Feinstein, the San Diego Congressional Delegation, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, all coastal California counties, and to the United |

| |States Department of the Interior stating the San Diego County Board of Supervisors strong opposition to offshore drilling in the coastal |

| |waters of California. |

| |Direct the Chief Administrative Officer to authorize the County’s Washington representative to continue to communicate and advocate for the|

| |County’s position consistent with the 2005 Legislative Policy Guidelines VII.A.1 and 2 regarding offshore drilling in California. |

| |ACTION: |

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

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