We need to get information to as many of our constituents as we can. The North San Diego Association of Realtors has access to thousands of home buyers in North County, and is willing to help the County spread the word on safety.

Today’s action would create an information sharing partnership with the NSDCAR, giving them 5,000 copies of the Family Disaster Plan and Personal Survival Guide to hand out to all new home buyers.

FISCAL IMPACT:N/A

OVERVIEW:On October 31, 2006 (3), your Board adopted a resolution authorizing the submission of the Adult Mentally Ill Offender Crime Reduction (MIOCR) grant application to the Corrections Standards Authority (CSA). The CSA awarded the County an initial 18-month grant of $1,497,945 for the period January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2008. On January 30, 2007 (3), your Board authorized the acceptance of the adult MIOCR funds.

FISCAL IMPACT:Funds for this request will not be included in the CAO Proposed 2008-10 Operational Plan. If funds are awarded, the Department will return to your Board to accept the award and include these funds in the FY 2008-2009 Operational Plan. The grant funds, if awarded, will result in approximately $1,350,000 of costs and revenues for Fiscal Year 2008-09. Three additional years of funding are possible and would result in approximately $1,350,000 of costs and revenues for each fiscal year (Fiscal Year 2009-10 through Fiscal Year 2011-12). There is a 25% local match requirement for this grant which can be cash or in-kind; the Probation Department will meet this match with in-kind services.

The Bonds are payable from the levy of an ad valorem tax against the taxable property in the District.

At this time, the District is requesting the Board of Supervisors to approve the last issuance of the Election of 2004 Bonds in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed

4/22/08 14

$1,963,581.20 and the first issuance of the Election of 2008 Bonds in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $34,000,000.

The Bonds represent the final series of bonds issued under each authorization and are being issued to finance the cost of site acquisition, new construction, reconstruction or modernization of the schools within the District.

FISCAL IMPACT:Funds for this request are included in the Treasurer-Tax Collector’s FY 08-09 Adopted Operational Plan. If approved, this request will result in an estimated $1,500 in annual revenues from the Rancho Santa Fe School District to reimburse the Treasurer’s Office for costs associated with this non-County financing.

These Bonds are general obligations of the District to be paid from ad valorem property taxes and do not constitute an obligation of the County.

RECOMMENDATION:CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER AND DEBT ADVISORY COMMITTEEAdopt the resolution authorizing the issuance and sale of the Rancho Santa Fe School District, Election of 2004, Series 2004A General Obligation Bonds in the principal amount not to exceed $1,963,581.20.

Adopt the resolution authorizing the issuance and sale of the Rancho Santa Fe School District, Election of 2008, Series 2008B General Obligation Bonds in the principal amount not to exceed $34,000,000 contingent upon the Rancho Santa Fe School District adopting a resolution establishing a separate independent citizen oversight committee as required by Education Code section 15278.

14. SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL - EMPLOYEE BENEFITS DENTAL PLANS AND DENTAL ADMINISTRATOR SERVICES (DISTRICTS: ALL)

OVERVIEW:The County of San Diego provides its employees with innovative health benefit programs that ensure high quality services at the lowest rates. The Department of Human Resources continuously monitors the marketplace for competitive rates for all benefit contracts.

The proposed action would authorize an RFP and negotiation of a contract for both a fully insured dental plan and the administration of the County’s self funded dental plan.

The recommended contract term is three (3) years with two additional one-year options for a total of five (5) years.

FISCAL IMPACT:The County’s flexible benefits program provides a monthly allowance that varies by bargaining unit, to employees to apply towards the cost of health, dental, vision, various supplemental insurance programs and a flexible spending account. Any changes in costs, therefore, for the new dental plans will not have a fiscal impact on the County. No additional staff years are required.

RECOMMENDATION:CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERIn accordance with Section 401 et seq, of the County Administrative Code authorize the Director, Purchasing and Contracting to issue a Competitive Solicitation for both a fully insured dental plan and the administration of a self-funded dental plan, and upon successful negotiations and determination of a fair and reasonable price, award contracts for a term of three-years, with two one-year options and up to an additional six months if needed, and to amend the contracts as necessary to reflect changes to services and funding, subject to approval of the Director of the Department of Human Resources.

17. SUBJECT: ELECTRIC LAWN MOWER TRADE-IN PROGRAM (DISTRICTS: ALL)

OVERVIEW:For the past eight years, the Air Pollution Control Board has held the highly successful Mowing Down Pollution Lawn Mower Trade-in event. At the event, residents turn in their completely equipped and operable gasoline lawnmower with the fuel and oil removed. After the mower has been accepted for exchange, residents receive a new Black & Decker cordless electric lawnmower for $150. All of the old mowers turned in during the event are removed for recycling.

Regional air pollution is reduced as gasoline-powered lawn mowers are exchanged for new cordless rechargeable electric mowers. Some gasoline mowers emit 40 times more

4/22/08 18

pollution per hour than a single late model automobile, while the replacement electric mowers offered by the Board emit zero pollutants.

This is a request to direct the Air Pollution Control Officer to hold this year’s Mowing Down Pollution event on May 17, 2008, and make available up to 420 cordless electric lawn mowers for San Diego County residents.

FISCAL IMPACT:This request is included in the Fiscal Year 2007-08 Air Pollution Control District Operational Plan. The funding source is $106,000 from penalties received for violations of air quality laws. Up to 420 lawn mowers will be purchased for an amount not to exceed $96,000. The remaining $10,000 will be used for the facilities, printed materials, advertising and disposal of old lawn mowers and hazardous waste. If approved, this request will result in no increase in current year costs and revenues and no increase in subsequent years’ costs and revenue. This will require no net General Fund cost and no additional staff years.

RECOMMENDATION:SUPERVISOR ROBERTS1. Direct the Director of Purchasing and Contracting to negotiate a purchase

agreement with Black and Decker not to exceed $96,000 for up to 420 lawn mowers.

2. Direct the Air Pollution Control Officer to hold a Lawn Mower Trade-in Event that exchanges up to 420 gasoline-powered lawn mowers for new, non-polluting cordless rechargeable mowers for $150 each.

3. Direct the Air Pollution Control Officer to hold this year’s Lawn Mower Trade-in Event on May 17, 2008, and authorize $10,000 for event costs.

OVERVIEW:Your Board approved the submission of a proposal for AB 900 funds of up to $100 million to be used toward the construction of a detention facility for women and a preferred reentry site on March 11, 2008 (5). This is a request to authorize the County to negotiate and enter into a "Reentry Program Facility Siting Agreement" ("Siting Agreement") with the State of California, through the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation ("CDCR"). The proposed Siting Agreement requires the County to take certain preliminary steps toward identifying a site for a future CDCR Secure Reentry Facility location. Upon final agreement as to location of the facility, the State would build and operate a CDCR Secure Reentry Facility. Further Board approval will be required for any sale, lease or other transfer of County property. Execution of the Siting Agreement will allow the County to receive preference points when the County's proposal for AB 900 funds is scored.

FISCAL IMPACT:Approval of this request will authorize the County to enter into an agreement with the State of California to identify certain sites to locate a CDCR Secure Reentry Facility on County property. Execution of the agreement may result in an as yet undetermined amount of revenue from the sale of County property and will require no additional staff years.
