|1. |SUBJECT: |FORMATION OF THE NORTH COUNTY GANG COMMISSION (DISTRICTS: 5 & 3) |

| |OVERVIEW: |

| |For decades the North County has been plagued by gang activity and senseless violence. Due to the number of different |

| |governmental and law enforcement jurisdictions, coordination for the entire region has been nearly impossible. The time has come|

| |to bring all of the regional partners together to form a plan to deal with gangs all along the 78 Corridor. Today’s action will |

| |begin the process of creating a North County Gang Commission that will bring together experts from education, law enforcement, |

| |business, social and health services, and even youth formerly involved in gangs to bring about a change for our region. |

| |FISCAL IMPACT: |

| |N/A |

| |RECOMMENDATION: |

| |SUPERVISOR HORN AND SUPERVISOR SLATER-PRICE |

| |In accordance with Board Policy A-74, Citizen Participation in County Boards, Commissions and Committees, direct the Chief |

| |Administrative Officer to return to the Board within 60 days with an ordinance to establish the North County Gang Commission. |

| |This commission will have seven members total. Five members will be appointed by the Fifth District Supervisor, and two |

| |Community members will be appointed by the Third District Supervisor. They will be tasked with forming a regional plan to combat|

| |gang involvement in North County, seek funding opportunities to implement the plan, and facilitate coordination of community |

| |partners in an effort to reduce violence in the region. |

| |ACTION: |

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

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

| |

| |

|2. |SUBJECT: |SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT LAW ENFORCEMENT CONTRACT WITH NINE INCORPORATED CITIES (DISTRICTS: ALL) |

| |OVERVIEW: |

| |On June 11, 2002 (9), the Board of Supervisors approved and authorized the execution of a five-year law enforcement contract |

| |between the County of San Diego, through the Sheriff’s Department, and nine incorporated cities in the County. This action |

| |requests authorization for the execution of a new five-year law enforcement contract for the period beginning July 1, 2007 and |

| |ending June 30, 2012. |

| |FISCAL IMPACT: |

| |Funds for this request are included in the Fiscal Year 2007-08 Operational Plan. The funding source is revenue from the nine |

| |contract cities. If approved this request will result in estimated costs and revenue of $75.795,381 in Fiscal Year 2007-08 and |

| |$79,585,150 in Fiscal Year 2008-09 and will require the addition of no staff years in Fiscal Year 2007-08. Requests for |

| |increased services may result in increased staff years during the term of the agreements. |

| |RECOMMENDATION: |

| |SHERIFF |

| |Waive Board Policy B-29, which requires full cost recovery for fees, grants, and revenue contracts. |

| |Approve and authorize the Clerk of the Board to accept and execute, upon receipt, the Agreement For General and Specialized Law |

| |and Traffic Enforcement Services (Contract) and the Contract Law Enforcement Program Joint Operating and Financial Plan |

| |(Attachment B) between the County of San Diego, through the Sheriff’s Department, and the cities of Del Mar, Encinitas, Imperial |

| |Beach, Lemon Grove, Poway, San Marcos, Santee, Solana Beach and Vista for the period beginning July 1, 2007 and ending June 30, |

| |2012. |

| |Authorize the Sheriff to approve the Contract Law Enforcement Program Joint Operating and Financial Plan (Attachment B) documents|

| |for each Contract City for each subsequent year, including mid-year service level changes, amendments and/or revisions for the |

| |period beginning July 1, 2007 and ending June 30, 2012. |

| |ACTION: |

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

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

| |

| |

|3. |SUBJECT: |SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT LAW ENFORCEMENT AGREEMENT WITH THE PALA BAND OF MISSION INDIANS (DISTRICT: 5) |

| |OVERVIEW: |

| |On September 20, 2005 (15), your Board authorized the Clerk of the Board to accept and execute an amended agreement between the |

| |County of San Diego, through the Sheriff’s Department, and the Pala Band of Mission Indians (PBMI) for continuing law enforcement|

| |services of two deputies. This agreement expired November 30, 2007. This is a request to execute a new five-year agreement for |

| |the continued law enforcement services of two deputies, between the County of San Diego, through the Sheriff’s Department, and |

| |PBMI for the period December 1, 2007 through |

| |November 30, 2012. |

| |FISCAL IMPACT: |

| |Funds for this request are budgeted. The funding source is revenue from the PBMI. If approved, this request will result in |

| |estimated current year operating costs of $199,000 comprised of salaries and benefits of $166,000, services and supplies of |

| |$33,000 and revenue of $237,200; and subsequent year costs of $327,600 and revenue of $393,500. The remaining current year |

| |revenue of $38,200 and subsequent year revenue of $65,900 will be used to offset overhead costs. Cost and revenue amounts will be|

| |adjusted for negotiated salary increases, other cost adjustments or services level changes. If approved, this request will |

| |require the addition of no staff years. |

| |RECOMMENDATION: |

| |SHERIFF |

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

| |Revenue Contracts with the Board at least 60 days prior to effective date of contract. |

| |Approve and authorize the Clerk of the Board to accept and execute, upon receipt, an agreement between the County of San Diego |

| |and the Pala Band of Mission Indians for two Sheriff’s Deputies to provide law enforcement services for the agreement period |

| |December 1, 2007 through November 30, 2012. |

| |Authorize the Sheriff to execute 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 Cox, seconded by Supervisor Jacob, the Board took action as recommended, on Consent. |

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

| |

| |

|4. |SUBJECT: |PROBATION – JUVENILE LAW REALIGNMENT; YOUTHFUL OFFENDER BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM; STAFFING AUGMENTATION IN |

| | |THE JUVENILE DETENTION FACILITIES (DISTRICTS: ALL) |

| |OVERVIEW: |

| |Effective September 1, 2007, Senate Bill 81 (SB 81) and its follow up legislation Assembly Bill 191 (AB 191), made major |

| |revisions to the Welfare & Institutions Code and implemented what has become known as the “juvenile justice realignment law.” |

| |The principal effects of this realignment are: (1) limiting the wards that may be sent by counties to the Division of Juvenile |

| |Justice (“DJJ” -- formerly the California Youth Authority), (2) setting the stage for the return of wards by DJJ to counties |

| |either through the counties’ voluntary recall or the state’s parole, (3) imposing new supervision responsibilities on counties, |

| |and (4) establishing a Youthful Offender Block Grant program whereby the State will compensate counties based on a number of |

| |factors, including whether counties voluntarily recall wards. This realignment of juvenile justice responsibilities means that |

| |there will be additional wards in Probation Department facilities and under Probation field supervision. |

| |The local custody and community supervision of these additional wards will add to the already-strained juvenile population and |

| |officer staffing levels in the Probation Department’s detention facilities. The Corrections Standard Authority (“CSA”) enforces |

| |state regulations that mandate a maximum of 30 beds per unit and a staffing ratio of one direct supervision staff person to every|

| |ten detainees per unit (“1:10 staffing ratio”). Due to population increases in the juvenile detention facilities, meeting these |

| |requirements necessitates the opening of additional detention units and adding supervision staff. |

| |The Probation Department seeks authority to add 69 positions in Fiscal Year 2007-08, as follows: 27 for local housing and |

| |community supervision of wards being retained, recalled or sent back due to juvenile justice realignment, the cost of which is |

| |funded through the Youthful Offender Block Grant and 42 positions to comply with the State-mandated 30-bed per unit and 1:10 |

| |staffing ratio, which will enable the Department to open additional units and alleviate overpopulation in the detention |

| |facilities. |

| |FISCAL IMPACT: |

| |Funds for this request are not included in the Probation Department’s Fiscal Year 2007-08 Adopted Operational Plan. If approved,|

| |this request will result in direct costs of $2,859,647 in Fiscal Year 2007-08, with offsetting revenue of $1,434,647 from the |

| |Corrections Standards Authority Youthful Offender Block Grant to support returning wards to local custody and $1,425,000 from |

| |available Public Safety Group 2006-07 Fund Balance to support additional detention facility units. In addition, staffing would |

| |be augmented by 27 positions and FTEs for the Youthful Offender Block Grant program and 42 positions and FTEs for institutional |

| |staffing for a total of 69 positions and FTEs. The direct costs and full time equivalents (FTEs) have been prorated to begin in |

| |December of 2007, are adjusted to account for the time required to fill positions. The additional resources required for |

| |institutional staffing is a net amount after partially mitigating the increase by shifting resources ($500,000 in Fiscal Year |

| |2007-08 and $1 Million annually) budgeted for payments to the Department of Juvenile Justice which will not be expended due |

| |to the change in State legislation. |

| | |

| |Fiscal Year 2008-09 anticipated direct costs are $9,168,638, $4,786,638 for the Youthful Offender Block Grant Program and |

| |$4,382,000 for institutional staffing. The increased costs for the Youthful Offender Block Grant Program are expected to be |

| |fully revenue offset, but the increased institutional staffing costs will require the commitment of local resources. In Fiscal |

| |Year 2008-09, an additional 20 positions and FTEs (for a total of 47 positions and FTEs over the Fiscal Year 2007-08 adopted |

| |budget) are anticipated to be required for the Youthful Offender Block Grant program and would be funded by the Youthful Offender|

| |Block Grant. For institutional staffing, a need for an additional 10 positions and FTEs (for a total of 52 positions and FTEs |

| |over the Fiscal Year 2007-08 adopted budget) is anticipated for Fiscal Year 2008-09. The direct costs for staffing in |

| |institutions will continue to be partially offset by a shift in resources as described above. The ongoing funding source for |

| |institutional staffing will be addressed in the CAO’s Proposed Operational Plan for Fiscal Years 2008-09 and 2009-10. |

| |RECOMMENDATION: |

| |CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER |

| |Approve the request to add 69 positions and FTEs to the Probation Department’s Fiscal Year 2007-08 Operational Plan to implement |

| |programs to comply with State-mandated programs and regulations. Direct the Department of Human Resources to classify these |

| |positions at the appropriate levels. |

| |Approve the request for the Probation Department to accept $1,434,647 in Youthful Offender Block Grant allocation in Fiscal Year |

| |2007-08. |

| |Establish appropriations of $2,859,647 in the Probation Department to implement programs and comply with State-mandated programs |

| |and regulations based on unanticipated revenue from Youthful Offender Block Grant ($1,434,647) and Public Safety Group’s Fiscal |

| |Year 2006-07 fund balance available ($1,425,000). |

| |(4 VOTES) |

| |Direct the Auditor and Controller to establish a Probation Youthful Offender Block Grant Trust Fund for the Youthful Offender |

| |Block Grant allocation. |

| |ACTION: |

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

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

| |

| |

|5. |SUBJECT: |LOCAL EMERGENCY REVIEW AND RATIFICATION OF ORDERS: OCTOBER 2007 FIRESTORM (DISTRICTS: ALL) |

| |OVERVIEW: |

| |On October 24, 2007 (25) your Board ratified the October 21, 2007 Proclamation of Local Emergency issued by the Chief |

| |Administrative Officer (“CAO”), serving as the County’s Director of Emergency Services and as Coordinator of the Unified San |

| |Diego County Emergency Services Organization. The Proclamation was issued as a result of fires in the County collectively known |

| |as “Firestorm 2007.” On November 7, 2007 (20), your Board found that there was a need for continuing the local emergency. |

| |Government Code section 8630(c)(1) requires local governing bodies to review the need for continuing the local emergency at its |

| |regularly scheduled meetings until the local emergency is terminated. This is a request to (1) find that a review of the local |

| |emergency has been conducted and that the local emergency will remain in effect at this time; (2) ratify the CAO’s emergency |

| |order relating to hazardous waste and debris; (3) ratify the CAO’s emergency order extending the provisions of Penal Code section|

| |396, predatory pricings prohibitions; and (4) further extend the provisions of Penal Code section 396 to January 3, 2008. |

| |FISCAL IMPACT: |

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

| |RECOMMENDATION: |

| |CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER |

| |Find that there is a need for continuing the local emergency and that the local emergency shall continue subject to review |

| |requirements until terminated pursuant to Government Code section 8630. |

| |Ratify the ORDER DIRECTING ACTIONS AND ISSUING RULES AND REGULATIONS RELATING TO THE EXISTING STATE OF EMERGENCY AND THE PRESENCE|

| |OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS PRESENTING IMMEDIATE HEALTH AND SAFETY RISKS TO PERSONS AND PROPERTY IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY. |

| |Ratify the ORDER RELATING TO THE EXISTING STATE OF EMERGENCY EXTENDING THE PROVISIONS OF PENAL CODE SECTION 396 TO PROHIBIT |

| |PREDATORY PRICING IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY. |

| |Extend the provisions of Penal Code section 396 for an additional 30 days. |

| |ACTION: |

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

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

| |

| |

|6. |SUBJECT: |REVENUE AGREEMENT FOR HOSPITAL OUTSTATION SERVICES PROGRAM (DISTRICTS: ALL) |

| |OVERVIEW: |

| |Local hospitals provide critical healthcare services to low income residents of the County. Two publicly funded healthcare |

| |programs, Medi-Cal and County Medical Services, provide funding for indigent healthcare. Under State law, the County is solely |

| |responsible for determining eligibility to these programs. Since 1989, the County has had a revenue agreement with the Hospital |

| |Association of San Diego and Imperial Counties to jointly fund eligibility staff outstationed in local hospitals. This |

| |longstanding public/private partnership helps sustain the healthcare safety net for County residents by reducing hospitals’ |

| |uncompensated care through timely and accurate Medi-Cal and County Medical Services eligibility determinations in the hospital |

| |setting. |

| | |

| |On January 21, 1997 (10), June 9, 1998 (46), and April 16, 2002 (8) the Board approved revenue agreements with the Hospital |

| |Association of San Diego and Imperial Counties to outstation eligibility staff in local hospitals. The current agreement will |

| |expire on December 31, 2007. Board approval is requested for the Clerk of the Board to execute a new revenue agreement with the |

| |Hospital Association of San Diego and Imperial Counties for a Hospital Outstation Services program effective January 1, 2008 |

| |through June 30, 2009 and up to three subsequent years. |

| |FISCAL IMPACT: |

| |Funds are included in the FY 2007-2009 Operational Plan. If approved, this request will result in no change in current year |

| |costs and revenue and subsequent year cost and revenue of $688,000. The funding source is the Hospital Association of San Diego |

| |and Imperial Counties. There will be no change in net General Fund cost and no additional staff years. |

| |RECOMMENDATION: |

| |CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER |

| |Approve and authorize the Clerk of the Board to execute, upon receipt, an eighteen-month revenue agreement with the Hospital |

| |Association of San Diego and Imperial Counties to outstation Human Services Specialists in local hospitals effective |

| |January 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009, authorize the Clerk of the Board to renew the agreement for three (3) subsequent years and|

| |up to an additional six (6) months if needed, and to amend the agreement as required to reflect changes to services and funding |

| |allocations, subject to the approval of the Director, Health and Human Services Agency. |

| |ACTION: |

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

| |

|7. |SUBJECT: |CALIFORNIA HEALTHCARE FOR INDIGENTS PROGRAM AND EXPENDITURE PLAN FOR FISCAL YEAR 2007-08 (DISTRICTS: |

| | |ALL) |

| |OVERVIEW: |

| |On December 12, 2006 (8), the Board of Supervisors approved the FY 2006-07 California Healthcare for Indigents Program (CHIP) |

| |Expenditure Plan and authorized the submission of the FY 2007-08 CHIP application to the State. This program provides funding |

| |for health services to indigent patients by partially reimbursing hospitals and physicians for the uncompensated cost of health |

| |and emergency medical services. |

| | |

| |Board action is requested to submit the FY 2007-08 California Healthcare for Indigents Program Expenditure Plan, including the |

| |required standard agreements, and the FY 2008-09 funding application for the California Healthcare for Indigents Program to the |

| |State Department of Health Services. |

| |FISCAL IMPACT: |

| |Funding for this request is included in the FY 2007-09 Operational Plan for the Health and Human Services Agency. If approved, |

| |this request will result in a current year cost and revenue of $2,189,882. The funding source is the California Healthcare for |

| |Indigents Program. There will be no change in net General Fund cost and no additional staff years. |

| |RECOMMENDATION: |

| |CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER |

| |Approve and authorize execution and submission by the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, upon receipt, the Board Certification of|

| |the FY 2007-08 Description of Proposed Expenditure of California Healthcare for Indigents Program Funds, and any subsequent |

| |amendments, to the State Department of Health Services. |

| |Approve and authorize execution and submission by the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, upon receipt, the FY 2007-08 California |

| |Healthcare for Indigents Program and Emergency Medical Services Appropriation (EMSA) standard agreements, and any subsequent |

| |for the California Healthcare for Indigents Program including, if required, application for the Emergency Medical Services |

| |Appropriation (EMSA) to the State Department of Health Services. |

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

| |

| |

|8. |SUBJECT: |FY 2007-08 CERTIFICATION STATEMENTS FOR CHILD HEALTH AND DISABILITY PREVENTION AND CALIFORNIA CHILDREN |

| | |SERVICES PROGRAMS (DISTRICTS: ALL) |

| |OVERVIEW: |

| |The Board of Supervisors has demonstrated a long-term commitment to helping children reach their full potential by supporting |

| |programs that encourage healthy behaviors, link eligible children to low and no-cost health insurance coverage, and provide |

| |support for at-risk children in the dependency system. Today’s action furthers the County’s commitment to improving health |

| |opportunities and outcomes for children through its Public Health Services’ Child Health and Disability Prevention (CHDP) program|

| |and California Children Services (CCS) program. If approved, today’s action will continue the current activities of the CHDP and|

| |CCS programs and enhance activities that assure eligible children have health care coverage. |

| |As required by the State as a condition of funding, this action requests the annual approval and execution of the State’s Fiscal |

| |Year 2007-08 Child Health and Disability Prevention and California Children Services Certification Statements. |

| |FISCAL IMPACT: |

| |Funds for this request are included in the FY 2007-09 Health and Human Services Agency Operational Plan. If approved, this |

| |action will result in FY 2007-08 costs and revenue of $18,272,281 ($7,354,006 for Child Health and Disability Prevention and |

| |$10,918,275 for California Children’s Services). The sources of funding are the State General Fund, Federal Title XIX, and |

| |Realignment. There will be no change to net General Fund costs and no additional staff years. |

| |RECOMMENDATION: |

| |CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER |

| |Approve and authorize the Clerk of the Board to execute the FY 2007-08 State Child Health and Disability Prevention Certification|

| |Statement. |

| |Approve and authorize the Clerk of the Board to execute the FY 2007-08 State California Children Services Certification |

| |

|9. |SUBJECT: |"FAMILY INTEGRATED TREATMENT (FIT) PROGRAM" -- ACCEPTANCE OF FEDERAL CHILDREN'S BUREAU GRANT FUNDS |

| | |(DISTRICTS: ALL) |

| |OVERVIEW: |

| |The Board has a long-standing commitment to seek additional funding resources for services for children and families affected by |

| |substance abuse, as evidenced by a number of Board actions in recent years. On July 13, 2004 (12) and July 24, 2007 (9) the |

| |Board authorized the Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) to seek federal, state, and private foundation grants to augment |

| |Child Welfare Services programs. In July 2007, the Federal Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) offered a competitive |

| |grant opportunity under the Fiscal Year 2007 Children’s Bureau Discretionary Grant Awards. The goal of the grant is to increase |

| |the well-being of children affected by parental use of methamphetamine or other substance abuse. |

| |DHHS has selected HHSA as one of 53 grant recipients in the nation. The Agency shall receive a five-year grant in the amount of |

| |$500,000 each year for a total of $2,500,000 million to implement a comprehensive, coordinated service system for children and |

| |mothers affected by substance abuse. If approved by the Board, the County of San Diego is providing $79,900 in matching funds |

| |annually. The County project is entitled “Family Integrated Treatment (FIT) Program,” and will serve a minimum of 100 mothers |

| |and 150 children each year. |

| |With Board approval, HHSA staff will direct the project designed to provide enhanced services for mothers struggling with |

| |methamphetamine and other drug addiction, and their children. Board action is requested to accept the grant funding and |

| |implement the proposed program. |

| |FISCAL IMPACT: |

| |Funds for this request are not included in the FY 2007-09 Operational Plan. If approved, this request will result in a $500,000 |

| |increase in current year and subsequent year costs and revenue. The terms of the Federal Department of Health and Human Services|

| |grant require the County to provide matching funds in the amount of $79,900 in the current year and subsequent year. Funding for|

| |the County match is included in the FY 2007-09 Operational Plan and consists of Children’s Trust Fund and General Purpose |

| |Revenue. There will be no change in net General Fund cost and no additional staff years. |

| |RECOMMENDATION: |

| |CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER |

| |Establish appropriations of $500,000 in the Health and Human Services Agency, Child Welfare Services and Alcohol and Drug |

| |Services for the Family Integrated Treatment Program based on unanticipated revenue from the Federal Children’s Bureau |

| |Discretionary Grant. (4 VOTES) |

| |Authorize the Clerk of the Board to execute, upon receipt, the Administration of Children and Families Children’s Bureau of DHHS |

| |grant revenue agreement, in the amount of $500,000 for FY 2007-08, and $500,000 a year for four (4) additional years through FY |

| |2011-12 for a total of $2,500,000. |

| | |RESOLUTION TO ESTABLISH AN ELECTRONIC RECORDING DELIVERY SYSTEM & FEE; ESTABLISH A FEE TO IMPLEMENT A |

| | |SOCIAL SECURITY TRUNCATION PROGRAM; & INCREASE & COMBINE ASSESSOR/RECORDER/COUNTY CLERK FEES |

| | |(DISTRICTS: ALL) |

| |OVERVIEW: |

| |(1) The Assessor/Recorder/County Clerk proposes to establish an Electronic Recording Delivery System (ERDS) through participation|

| |in the California Electronic Recording Delivery Act (CERDA) of 2004 as approved by your Board on November 8, 2005. ARCC is |

| |requesting a Board of Supervisors resolution for San Diego County to participate in the CERDA and to impose a one dollar ($1) |

| |statutory fee for each instrument recorded per Government Code 27397(c) to fund the ERDS program. |

| |(2) Recent legislative changes require the truncation of social security numbers in recorded documents. The legislation allows |

| |for the imposition of a one dollar ($1) fee on each recorded document to defray the cost of a truncation program, fee sunset |

| |provisions, and revenue audit requirements. |

| | |

| |(3) In addition, state statutes were changed to require an increase in the Foreign Language Translation and Qualified Notary |

| |Certification fees and an adjustment to the Fictitious Business Name fee. |

| | |

| |Submitted for your Board’s consideration are resolutions to: (1) participate in the CERDA program and institute a fee to offset |

| |costs; (2) impose a fee to defray the cost to implement a social security number truncation program; and, (3) adjust the Foreign |

| |Language Translation and Qualified Notary Certification fees to comply with state statutes. Also submitted is an Ordinance to |

| |combine two Fictitious Business Name (FBN) fees. |

| |FISCAL IMPACT: |

| |Funds for this request are not included in the Fiscal Year 2007-08 Operational Plan. If approved, this request will result in |

| |approximately $800,000 in unanticipated revenue in Fiscal Year 2007-08 and $1.6 million annually, thereafter. The funding |

| |sources are the Electronic Recording and Recording Truncation fees. No appropriations are requested at this time. No additional|

| |staff years are required. |

| |BUSINESS IMPACT STATEMENT: |

| |The proposed new fees are considered too small to have a measurable impact on the local business community. |

| |RECOMMENDATION: |

| |ASSESSOR/RECORDER/COUNTY CLERK AND CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER |

| |Direct the Auditor and Controller to establish an Electronic Recording Trust Fund to collect fees to fund Electronic Recording |

| |expenses pursuant to Section 27397(c) of the Government Code. |

| |Direct the Auditor and Controller to establish a Recording Redaction Trust Fund to collect fees to fund Recording Truncation |

| |expenses pursuant to Section 27361(d) of the Government Code. |
