1. SUBJECT: COMPREHENSIVE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE PLAN(DISTRICT: ALL)

OVERVIEW:In accordance with the County of San Diego’s Strategic Initiative to promote Safe and Livable Communities, the County of San Diego has partnered with the domestic violence prevention community to develop programs to stop family violence and provide services to victims and their families. There are many dedicated, specialized professionals represented by agencies countywide that work to prevent domestic violence and address the issues that result from violence within the home. A county-wide domestic violence comprehensive plan needs to be developed to identify the services currently available to domestic violence victims as well as to identify gaps in the system.

Given the current State fiscal crisis, it is imperative that every new dollar be directed where it will have the greatest impact. We are recommending the county take inventory of the domestic violence services currently available to victims countywide and identify how those services can be coordinated to ensure that domestic violence victims do not fall through the cracks. When the inventory of available services has been completed, the county will be able to identify the areas of domestic violence prevention/intervention that need more focus. We are also recommending that the County of San Diego work with the domestic violence prevention community to develop short and long term goals to end family violence throughout the region.

FISCAL IMPACT:Funding, up to $80,000, for a San Diego County Domestic Violence resource inventory and the creation of an online directory to service providers is included in the Sheriff’s grant to Encourage Arrest Policies and Enforcement of Protection Orders from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office On Violence Against Women.

RECOMMENDATION:1. SUPERVISOR SLATER AND SHERIFF

1. Direct the CAO to inventory countywide domestic violence resources currently available to victims and their families and create an online directory of these services.

2. Direct the CAO to identify potential gaps in the domestic violence safety net.

3. Direct the CAO to work with the domestic violence prevention community to develop a comprehensive countywide domestic violence plan that includes recommendations to address those gaps and return to the Board with the plan within 180 days.

ACTION:ON MOTION of Supervisor Jacob, seconded by Supervisor Slater, the Board of Supervisors took action as recommended, on Consent.

2. SUBJECT: SHERIFF’S ACCEPTANCE OF GRANTS TO ENCOURAGE ARREST POLICIES AND ENFORCEMENT OF PROTECTION ORDERS PROGRAM (DISTRICT: 3)

OVERVIEW:The County of San Diego has been awarded a $522,323 grant to establish a multi-disciplinary response center to assist North County domestic violence victims. The collaborative effort of three community-based organizations (CBOs), the Sheriff’s Department, the Office of the District Attorney, the Health and Human Services Agency, and other County departments will provide, from one centralized and accessible location, coordinated and comprehensive intervention services to families experiencing domestic violence in Northern San Diego County.

FISCAL IMPACT:SHERIFFFunds for this request are not included in the Sheriff’s Department Adopted Operational Plan. The funding source is the FY 2003-04 Grants to Encourage Arrest Policies and Enforcement of Protection Orders Program in the amount of $522,323 from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office On Violence Against Women. Reimbursable overtime or 120-day rehire deputies will be used as crime investigators for this project. Grant funds will also be paid to three CBO’s, which will provide a program coordinator and staff for the center. In addition, overall funding will be utilized to purchase services and supplies, travel expenses for technical assistance & training seminars, equipment & furniture, and structural improvements to the center. If approved, this project will result in current year cost and revenue of $275,831, and FY 2004-05 cost and revenue of $272,492, covered by the grant and other agency contributions for two years. There is no requirement for matching funds.

DISTRICT ATTORNEYFunds for this request are not included in the District Attorney’s Adopted Operational Plan. The funding source is Federal Asset Forfeiture funds. If approved, this request will result in current cost and revenue of $26,484, and FY 2004-05 cost and revenue of $28,516. These funds will pay for the lease of the center. The lease costs will include all utilities, janitorial services, and facility maintenance costs.

HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AGENCY (HHSA)Funds for this proposal are not included in the Health and Human Services Agency’s FY 2003-04 Operational Plan. The funding source for this proposal is the FY2003 Grants to Encourage Arrest Policies and Enforcement of Protection Orders Program. If approved, this proposal will result in current year costs and revenue of $80,000, no subsequent year costs and revenue, and no increase in staff years.

Supervisor Slater, Sheriff’s Asset Forfeiture Fund, and the District Attorney’s Office have committed additional funding of $55,000 each, over the term of this project, to offset the cost of the lease, utilities, facility improvements, and other project expenses. The

11/5/03 8

$55,000 General Fund fund balance available is a result of the cancellation of a previous Supervisorial District Three Local Community Project Program approved by Board Letter July 23, 2002 (8), for this same project, but unused. No permanent positions or staff years are required for this project.

RECOMMENDATION:SUPERVISOR SLATER, SHERIFF, AND DISTRICT ATTORNEY:1. Waive Board Policy A-91, Mid-Year Budget Changes.

Equipment manufactured by Microwave Data Systems Inc. and Premisys-Zhone Inc. will be purchased to add IVECA to the RCS. In addition, the California Highway Patrol (CHP) has requested an amendment to their agreement with the RCS in order to increase the number of radios they have on the system from 169 to 175. In keeping with your Board’s previous direction, the CHP will pay a one-time buy-in charge of $27,000 to activate the 6 additional radios. The RCS Board of Directors recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve the proposed agreements and authorize a direct deposit of the CHP’s $27,000 buy-in payment to the RCS Trust Fund to help offset the cost of future system enhancements.

FISCAL IMPACT:Funds for this request are not budgeted. If approved, this request will result in one-time unanticipated revenue of $27,000 from the CHP to buy-in to the RCS. It is requested that this revenue be deposited directly into the RCS Trust Fund for future system enhancements. In addition, this request will result in current year costs of $357,672 ($261,318 for IVECA equipment and $96,354 in additional operating cost), and annual costs of $184,758 for operating expenses.

OVERVIEW:In anticipation of future growth in the region and potential expansion of community oriented policing services, the Sheriff’s Department submitted a grant application for additional funding through the 2003 COPS Universal Hiring Program Grant. This program, administered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), provides partial funding for hiring additional Deputies to be deployed to community policing activities. The Sheriff’s Department has participated in the COPS Hiring Program, since 1995. To date, the Department has hired 33 Deputies through the COPS Universal Hiring Program Grants and 21 Deputies through COPS Ahead, a similar hiring grant.

This is a request to ratify the submission and authorize the acceptance of the 2003 COPS Universal Hiring Program Grant, which will provide a maximum of $1,500,000 over a three-year period for hiring up to 20 new Deputies. No new positions will be filled through this grant until a specific need and matching funds are identified and approved by the Board.

FISCAL IMPACT:The requested action will result in no immediate fiscal impact or additional staff years. This action only ratifies the submission and acceptance of the 2003 COPS Universal Hiring Program Grant. The Board will be asked to establish appropriations and staff at a later date if a specific need and local matching funds are identified. If all 20 positions are filled, first year costs are estimated at $3,315,960; ongoing costs are estimated at $2,172,140 per year; and future revenue will be $1,500,000 ($500,000 per year for three years). The County would be required to retain and fully fund the positions in the fourth year. It is estimated that the total County match for the four-year period would be

11/5/03 12

24. SUBJECT: CREATION OF A REGIONAL FIRE-FIGHTING HELICOPTER FLEET (DISTRICT: ALL)

OVERVIEW:In response to the devastating wildfires that have ravaged much of the San Diego region, there is a need to provide a more effective way to combat fire emergencies in San Diego. It was made painfully clear that the San Diego region is under-equipped to deal with a major fire emergency. A countywide approach to preparedness is what is needed to solve the myriad of problems that face fire service agencies in San Diego County. Obviously, the best way to protect our residents from another catastrophe is by increasing our fire fighting capabilities.

The recommendation is for the Board of Supervisors to direct the Chief Administrative Officer and County Counsel to analyze the possibility of creating a regional fire protection district under the current Fire Protection District Law or, in the alternative, to seek legislation that would authorize the County to create a regional fire protection

11/5/03 30

authority or district that would then use funds to purchase and operate fire-fighting helicopters. The Chief Administrative Officer and County Counsel would report back to the Board on December 2, 2003.

FISCAL IMPACT:There is no fiscal impact from the proposed action.

RECOMMENDATION:SUPERVISOR ROBERTS:1. Direct the Chief Administrative Officer and County Counsel to analyze the

possibility of creating a regional fire protection district under current Fire Protection District Law or, in the alternative, to seek legislation that would authorize the County to create a regional fire services authority or district that would then use funds to purchase and operate fire-fighting helicopters.

2. Direct the Chief Administrative Officer and County Counsel to report back to the Board on December 2, 2003 on the advisability of forming a regional fire protection district under current law or seeking legislation that would authorize the County to create a regional fire services authority or district.

ACTION:ON MOTION of Supervisor Roberts, seconded by Supervisor Slater, the Board of Supervisors took action as recommended, continuing to December 2, 2003; and added:

Recommendation 3: Request Governor-elect Arnold Schwarzenegger to include the following subject in a proclamation calling a special session of the Legislature: Authorize the County of San Diego to establish a Countywide fire protection district with the authority to place a special tax on the ballot to fund the purchase, lease, operation and maintenance of fire fighting helicopters and related fire fighting equipment.

Recommendation 4: Direct the Chief Administrative Officer to draft a letter for the Chairman’s signature requesting the Governor-elect to include the subject described above in a proclamation calling a special session of the Legislature.

Recommendation 5: Direct the Chief Administrative Officer and the County Sacramento representative to work with the County’s legislative delegation to make a joint request of the Governor-elect to proclaim a special session of the Legislature to consider the subject described above.

The Wildcat Canyon Road Enhancement Project consists of the following components: The project would widen Wildcat Canyon Road to create a northbound passing lane from1,800 feet north of Muth Valley Road to a point 900 feet north of Blue Sky Ranch Road, an approximate distance of one mile. At Blue Sky Ranch Road, Wildcat Canyon Road would be lowered in elevation to improve sight distance. Additionally, the entrance to Oak Oasis Open Space Preserve would be reconfigured to align with Blue Sky Ranch Road.

This is a request to adopt a Resolution of Vacation to vacate a portion of one and the entirety of another open space easement in two different locations on Wildcat Canyon Road. The Vacations are necessary to allow the Department of Public Works to construct improvements to Wildcat Canyon Road. The first area (Area A) to be vacated is located along the east side of Wildcat Canyon Road, just south of the intersection of Muth Valley Road and Wildcat Canyon Road. Area A totals 4,922 square feet, which is approximately 13 percent of the entire open space easement. The second area (Area B) to be vacated is located along the east side of Wildcat Canyon Road and two properties south of the intersection of Pata Ranch Road and Wildcat Canyon Road. Area B totals 15,819 square feet. Wildcat Canyon Road will be widened in these two areas to improve operational safety.

If the ballot measure passes, each residential structure would be assessed $120 per year. Commercial, industrial, and institutional structures would be assessed $180 per year. The special tax is expected to provide up to $40,000 in additional annual revenue to the CSA.

FISCAL IMPACT:Estimated cost of the election is $1.32 per registered voter and will be paid by the CSA. If the measure passes, the Special Benefit Tax shall be applied effective Fiscal Year 2004-05 and will result in approximately $40,000 in additional revenue for the CSA. Any levies resulting from this action will be brought to the Board for approval as part of the annual benefit charge process.

RECOMMENDATION:CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER1. Find, pursuant to Section 15061(b)(1) of the California Environmental Quality Act

Guidelines, the requested action is not a project as defined in Section 15378 (b)(4).

28. SUBJECT: GREEN BUILDINGS: STRENGTHENING SUPPORT AND PROMOTION OF SUSTAINABLE BUILDING PRACTICES IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY (DISTRICTS: ALL)

OVERVIEW:The County of San Diego implemented the Green Building Incentive Program on April 15, 1997 (41), at the recommendation of Supervisor Pam Slater, with the adoption of Board Policy F-50 Voluntary Resource-Efficient Guidelines on New Construction and Building Renovation Projects. Since then, new techniques, technology and innovative products have emerged that make it more feasible to use green building practices. To follow the County’s commitment to sustainable building practices, the Cardiff Library was completed in 2002. Unique to this project was the incorporation of green building energy efficiency design and recycling of construction materials (December 15, 1998 (17), July 25, 2000 (6) and July 31, 2001 (15 )). The project was recognized by the SDG&E “Savings By Design” nonresidential new construction energy program, with an

11/5/03 35

incentive cash award. This high performance building will offer economic, health and environmental advantages to the County and the public.

The County of San Diego is concerned with protecting the environment and encouraging homeowners and builders to use environmentally sound practices. The County’s Strategic Plan includes an Environment Initiative to promote natural resource management strategies that ensure environmental preservation, quality of life, and economic development. Historically, construction practices have been at a high cost to the environment. According to 2003 data from the web site of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Center for Sustainable Development, buildings consume 40% of world’s total energy, 25% of its wood harvest, and 16% of its water. The challenge before the County and the building industry is to build so that the area’s potential can be reached while minimizing energy use, pollution, and life-long costs.

Sustainable or “green” building practices can reduce the impact buildings have on people and nature. Areas of importance include occupant health, energy and transportation efficiency, resource and material conservation (air, water, land, fuel), as well as reuse and recycling during building construction, operation and demolition. The concept applies to all residential, commercial and industrial buildings.

Following the initiative of Supervisor Slater, this letter is a report on improvements to the County’s Green Building Incentive Program and public outreach efforts to promote the program. It is also a request to amend Board Policy F-50 and adopt changes to the County Administrative Code to broaden the scope of projects that would receive permit fee reductions. In addition to energy efficient buildings, fee reductions would now be available for straw bale construction, use of graywater systems, and use of building materials with recycled content.

FISCAL IMPACT:If approved, changes to the building permit fee structure and impacts on general fund costs will be reviewed annually. Any net increases to the general fund will be offset by savings within the Department of Planning and Land Use. There will be no increase in staff years.

RECOMMENDATION:CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER1. Find in accordance with Section 15061(b)(3) of the State California Environmental

Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the following action may have a significant effect on the environment.

2. Accept this staff report on the Green Building Incentive Program in San Diego County.

3. Amend Board Policy F-50, Voluntary Resource-Efficient Guidelines on New Construction and Building Renovation Projects.

11/5/03 36

4. Waive Board Policy B-29, Fees, Grants and Revenue Contracts, Department Responsibility for Full Cost Recovery to eliminate building permit fees related to green buildings.

5. Approve the introduction of the Ordinance, (first reading), read title and waive further reading of the Ordinance.

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SCHEDULE F OF SECTION 362 OF THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY ADMINISTRATIVE CODE TO REDUCE FEES FOR BUILDINGS USING SUSTAINABLE BUILDING PRACTICES.

Submit the Ordinance for further Board consideration and adoption (second reading) on December 3, 2003.

ACTION:ON MOTION of Supervisor Jacob, seconded by Supervisor Slater, the Board of Supervisors continued the item to December 3, 2003, on Consent.

30. SUBJECT: ADVERTISE AND AWARD A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT FOR CENTRAL AVENUE DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS IN THE BONITA COMMUNITY (DISTRICT: 1)

OVERVIEW:The project consists of replacing existing culverts under two driveways along Central Avenue with larger reinforced concrete box culverts and widening the channel between the culverts to reduce flooding on the north side of Central Avenue at Belle Bonnie Brae

11/5/03 40

Road in the Bonita Community (Thomas Guide, Page 1311, A1).

This is a request to approve the Mitigated Negative Declaration, establish additional appropriations, and authorize a construction contract to be advertised and subsequently awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder for construction of drainage improvements along Central Avenue.

FISCAL IMPACT:Funds for this proposal are budgeted in the Department of Public Works Fiscal Year 2003-04 Detailed Work Program in the amount of $75,000 and Flood Control District in the amount of $125,000. Funding sources are Developer Deposit ($60,000), Flood Control ($125,000) and Gas Tax ($15,000) Funds. This request is to establish additional construction appropriations of $50,000 based on unanticipated revenue from State Match and State Exchange Funds. If approved, this request will result in a total current year cost of $250,000, no annual cost and will require no additional staff years.

RECOMMENDATION:CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER1. Find, on the basis of the whole record, there is no substantial evidence the project

will have a significant effect on the environment. Consider the Mitigated Negative Declaration together with comments received during public review, and adopt it, finding it reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the Board of Supervisors.

11/5/03 41

31. SUBJECT: VALLEY CENTER ROAD IMPROVEMENT PROJECT – ACQUISITION OF PARCEL NO. 2000-0093-A, B, & C (SHAW) (DISTRICT: 5)

OVERVIEW:The Valley Center Road Improvement Project will widen a 5.96-mile portion of Valley Center Road from 0.51 miles south of the City of Escondido boundary, north and east to 0.12 miles east of the Valley Center Road intersection with Cole Grade Road. The existing two- and three-lane road will be upgraded to four lanes with median and bike lanes. The project will enhance safety and improve traffic flow. Construction will begin in November 2003 for the first phase of the project, which extends from the east end of Escondido 2.5 miles up the Valley Center Road summit (Thomas Guide, page 1110, F 1 and 2).

Today’s request is part of right of way acquisition for the next phase of the Valley Center Road Improvement Project, which includes intersection improvements at Valley Center Road and Woods Valley Road (Thomas Guide, page 1090, E5). A new residential subdivision, Woods Valley Ranch, is being constructed behind the south commercial node along Valley Center Road. As a condition for approval of the project, the County required the builder, Newland Communities, to construct the eastern half of the Valley Center/Woods Valley intersection, including the installation of a traffic signal within the existing right of way. If the County is able to acquire the additional right of way easements now from the two owners of the corner parcels in the eastern half of the intersection, the builder will complete the improvements consistent with the ultimate road width. The Board is requested to approve the real property contract for the acquisition of easement rights (Parcel No. 2000-0093-A, B, & C) from Richard and Jo Ann Shaw for $44,000. The easement is at the intersection of Valley Center Road and Woods Valley Road. This is for one of two necessary parcels. Negotiations with the property owner on the remaining corner of the intersection are ongoing.

FISCAL IMPACT:Funds for this proposal are budgeted in the Department of Public Works’ Fiscal Year 2003-04 Detailed Work Program. The funding source for the acquisition is TransNet revenue. If approved, this proposal will result in $44,000 current year cost, no annual cost and will require no additional staff years. There will be no cost to the General Fund as a result of this action.

RECOMMENDATION:CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER1. Find that the Final Environmental Impact Report for the Valley Center Road

Widening Project, SCH No. 1999021081, on file in the Department of Public Works has been completed in compliance with California Environmental Act (CEQA) and State and County CEQA Guidelines, that the decision-making body has reviewed and considered the information contained therein prior to approving the project, and that the EIR reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the Board of Supervisors.

11/5/03 42

2. Find that there are no changes in the project or in circumstances under which it is undertaken which involve significant new environmental impacts which were not considered in the previously certified EIR, dated February 2000, or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects, and that no new information of substantial importance has become available since the EIR was prepared.

3. Approve and authorize the Clerk of the Board to execute, upon receipt, two originals of the real property contract for the purchase of Parcel No. 2000-0093-A, B, & C (Shaw) for $44,000.

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



32. SUBJECT: MUTUAL AID AGREEMENT BETWEEN METRO PARTICIPATING AGENCIES FOR EMERGENCY USE OF WASTEWATER EQUIPMENT AND RESOURCES (DISTRICT: ALL)

OVERVIEW:After the terrorist attacks in September 2001, area wastewater agencies became concerned that they need to be better prepared to respond in a collective fashion (if necessary) in the event of an emergency in the San Diego region that could cause significant disruption of the wastewater infrastructure.

In response to this concern, participating agencies in the City of San Diego Metro Sewage System, along with the City of Escondido, have drafted a Mutual Aid Agreement to allow for the exchange of equipment and resources should it become necessary.

This is a request for approval of a Mutual Aid Agreement between participating agencies in the City of San Diego Metro Sewage System, and the City of Escondido, to share available wastewater equipment and resources in the event of an emergency or act of terrorism.

FISCAL IMPACT:Entering into a Mutual Aid Agreement will not result in any costs or revenues to the County unless a mutual aid situation arises. There will be no current or subsequent year

11/5/03 43

impact because of requested action, and no additional staff years will be required. The Agreement provides for the reimbursement of costs to the agency rendering the aid. If the County borrowed equipment or labor from another agency in case of emergency, that agency would be reimbursed using the appropriate sanitation district or sewer maintenance district funding source. The County’s General Fund would not be impacted.

RECOMMENDATION:CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER1. Find that an agreement to share wastewater equipment and resources between

government agencies is an administrative activity and therefore exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3), because it is not a project as defined by Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines.

2. Approve and authorize the Clerk of the Board to execute, upon receipt, two copies of an Agreement titled San Diego County Public Wastewater Agencies Mutual Aid Agreement.

3. Designate the Director, Department of Public Works, as the responsible County agent to carry out provisions of this Agreement.



33. SUBJECT: APPROVE STREET LIGHT PETITIONS FOR VISTA GRANDE ROAD AND SUNSET ROAD IN UNINCORPORATED EL CAJON AND LAKESIDE (DISTRICT: 2)

OVERVIEW:In areas of the County that developed before street lights were required and where lights are now desired, property owners may request lights by forming or annexing to a zone within the San Diego County Street Lighting District. The Lighting District includes the entire unincorporated area and is composed of two zones. Zone A provides street lighting and charges benefiting properties an annual assessment for operation and maintenance of the lights. Properties in Zone B have no lights and are not charged.

This item involves approval of two petitions from property owners to annex to Zone A for provision of street lights in their areas. The areas are Vista Grande Road in unincorporated El Cajon and Sunset Road in Lakeside. Petition results were 63.4 percent approval and 58.5 percent approval, respectively. In accordance with Board Policy J-20, Lighting District Zone Formation and Annexations, such petitions may be approved unless the weighted petition responses opposing the proposal exceed those approving it.

11/5/03 44

FISCAL IMPACT:Costs to process petitions are paid by benefiting property owners. SDG&E will install the lights at no cost. Operation and maintenance of street lights are a regularly budgeted expense of the San Diego County Street Lighting District. If approved, this request will result in no current year cost and no additional staff years.

RECOMMENDATION:CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER1. Find, in accordance with Section 15061(b)(3) of California Environmental Quality

Act (CEQA) Guidelines, it can be seen with certainty there is no possibility the following action may have a significant effect on the environment and is therefore not subject to CEQA.

2. Approve the following Petitions:

a) Vista Grande Road (El Cajon) for nine lights

b) Sunset Road (Lakeside) for four lights



34. SUBJECT: SET HEARING FOR 12/10/03ESCONDIDO - ACQUISITION OF ASSESSOR’S PARCEL NUMBER 238-020-36 (THE ESCONDIDO CREEK CONSERVANCY) FOR OPEN SPACE (DISTRICT: 3)

OVERVIEW:On March 13, 2002 (17), at the request of Supervisor Slater, the Board directed the Chief Administrative Officer to investigate the acquisition of the Derbas property and take steps to identify funding for its purchase. The Derbas property consists of approximately 345 acres of environmentally significant undeveloped land located within the City of Escondido. The site is immediately adjacent to Del Dios Highway at the intersection of Date Lane, as shown on Attachment “1”. (Thomas Guide, page 1149-E1)

On September 18, 2002 (1), the Board approved the purchase of a 92-acre parcel from Derbas Trust for $1,200,000. Concurrently, The Escondido Creek Conservancy (TECC) purchased the remaining 253 acres from the Derbas Trust for $3,300,000. On September 18, 2002 (1), the Board also approved an option agreement between the County and the Conservancy entitling the County with the right to purchase the 253-acre property from the Conservancy in increments over the next three years. On March 5, 2003 (5), the Board approved the incremental purchase of 168.66 acres from TECC for $2,200,000.

11/5/03 45

The Board is requested to set a hearing for December 10, 2003 to consider the purchase of the remaining acreage from TECC for $1,100,000, which will complete the acquisition of the Derbas property for open space. The exact size of the remaining acreage has been calculated at 83.87 acres based on refined current record mapping.

FISCAL IMPACT:There is no fiscal impact associated with this request to publish the Notice of Intention to Purchase and to set the hearing to consider approval of the purchase. Should the Board approve the purchase on December 10, 2003, funding for the purchase will be provided by Wildlife Conservation Board grant funds contributed by the San Dieguito River Valley Joint Powers Authority ($900,000) and County General Funds available in Capital Project KA9500 – Multiple Species Conservation Plan/Open Space Acquisitions ($200,000). There will be no additional cost to the General Fund resulting from this request.

RECOMMENDATION:CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER1. Direct the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors to publish the required Notice of

Intention to Purchase in accordance with Government Code Sections 25350 and 6063.

2. Set this matter for December 10, 2003, at which time the Board may consummate the purchase of Assessor’s Parcel Number 238-020-36 from The Escondido Creek Conservancy for the appraised value of $1,100,000.

3. Cancel Appropriations and Related Operating Transfer from the General Fund of $200,000 in the Capital Outlay Fund for Capital Project KA9500, Multiple Species Conservation Program, to provide funding for the acquisition of Derbas Property.

4. Establish Appropriations of $200,000 in Contributions to Capital Outlay Fund (Operating Transfer Out), for the acquisition of Derbas Property, based on Fund Balance Made Available from the cancellation of funding in Capital Project KA9500. (4 VOTES)

5. Establish Appropriations of $200,000 in the Capital Outlay Fund for Capital Project KA3426, Derbas Acquisition, based on an Operating Transfer from the General Fund. (4 VOTES)

6. Establish Appropriations of $900,000 in the Capital Outlay Fund for Capital Project KA3426, Derbas Acquisition, based on unanticipated revenue from State Wildlife Conservation Board through the San Dieguito River Valley Joint Powers Authority. (4 VOTES)

7. Authorize the Director, Department of Parks and Recreation, as agent of the County of San Diego to conduct all negotiations, execute and submit all documents which

11/5/03 46

may be necessary for acceptance of Wildlife Conservation Board grant funds by the County, acting as the designee of the San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority.

ACTION:ON MOTION of Supervisor Jacob, seconded by Supervisor Slater, the Board of Supervisors took action as recommended, on Consent, setting Hearing for December 10, 2003, 9:00 a.m.


35. SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO AND THE SAN DIEGUITO RIVER VALLEY REGIONAL OPEN SPACE PARK JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY FOR ACQUISITION OF THE HABIB PROPERTY (DISTRICTS: 2 AND 5)

OVERVIEW:On May 16, 1989 (56), the Board of Supervisors approved the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement between the County of San Diego and the Cities of Del Mar, Escondido, Poway, San Diego and Solana Beach creating the San Dieguito River Valley Regional Open Space Park Joint Powers Authority, to provide for the preservation of the San Dieguito River Valley corridor.

Since 1989, the San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority has acquired 1,364 acres of open space along the San Dieguito River corridor. Currently, the County and the Joint Powers Authority are cooperating to complete the acquisition of Volcan Mountain, and in the last few years the Joint Powers Authority and the County worked together on the County’s purchase of the 5,321.96-acre Santa Ysabel property. Additionally, within the last year the Joint Powers Authority has contributed $2,675,000 to the County towards other park acquisitions (Volcan Mountain and Derbas properties).

Currently, the Joint Powers Authority is working with the Trust for Public Land to complete two acquisitions east of Lake Sutherland by the end of 2003. One of these acquisitions, the Habib property, consists of 387 acres of oak woodland adjacent to the County-owned Santa Ysabel Ranch. The County has the opportunity to participate in a partnership with the Joint Powers Authority to acquire this high quality habitat in the river corridor and to expand our future baseline Multiple Species Conservation Plan credits. In order to do this, $1,000,000 of County Open Space/Multiple Species Conservation Program General Funds is needed to supplement Joint Powers Authority funding for acquisition of this property. If approved, the property will be owned, managed and maintained by the Joint Powers Authority.

The proposed action is to approve the transfer of $1,000,000 of the Department of Parks and Recreation’s Open Space/Multiple Species Conservation Program funds, which are budgeted in the Capital Outlay Fund, to the Joint Powers Authority to assist in the

11/5/03 47

purchase of the Habib property to be added to the San Dieguito River Park corridor. The property owner is a willing seller. The total purchase price to be paid by the Joint Powers Authority will be $2,320,000. If approved, the County’s contribution will be $1,000,000.

This proposed action will transfer the funds from the Capital Outlay Fund to the Department of Parks and Recreation so that they may be paid to the Joint Powers Authority. This action is necessary because the property to be acquired will not be owned by the County and, therefore, acquisition costs cannot be capitalized. The proposed action will also approve the agreement with the Joint Powers Authority for expenditure of the funds. After acquisition of the Habib property, the Joint Powers Authority will own a total of approximately 1,751 acres that will be preserved as open space and habitat. The County will retain the future East County Multiple Species Conservation Plan baseline credits from the Habib acquisition. There will be no additional cost to the County resulting from this action.

FISCAL IMPACT:Funds for this request are budgeted in the Capital Outlay Fund and will be transferred to the Department of Parks and Recreation by this action. The funding source is County Open Space/Multiple Species Conservation Program General Funds. If approved, this request will result in $1,000,000 current year cost, no annual cost and will require the addition of no staff years. Funding will be provided to the San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority to purchase land which will be owned, managed and maintained by the Joint Powers Authority. There will be no additional cost to the General Fund resulting from this action.

RECOMMENDATION:CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER1. Find in accordance with Section 15325 of the California Environmental Quality Act

(CEQA) Guidelines that transfer of funds to the Joint Powers Authority for the purchase of land for preservation of open space and habitat is categorically exempt from CEQA.

2. Authorize the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors to execute the Agreement between the County of San Diego and the San Dieguito River Valley Regional Open Space Park Joint Powers Authority which provides the mechanism to transfer General Funds in the amount of $1,000,000 for the acquisition of the Habib property.

3. Waive Board Policy A-91, Mid-Year Budget Changes, to allow for establishment of additional appropriations in the Parks and Recreation Department budget, based on cancellation of General Fund appropriations in the Capital Outlay Fund.

4. Cancel appropriations and related Operating Transfer from the General Fund in the amount of $1,000,000 in Capital Project KA9500, Multiple Species Conservation Program/Open Space Acquisitions, to provide funds to the Joint Powers Authority for acquisition of the Habib property.

11/5/03 48

5. Establish appropriations in the amount of $1,000,000 in the Department of Parks and Recreation (Contributions to Other Agencies), based on fund balance made available from the cancellation of the Operating Transfer. (4 VOTES)



36. SUBJECT: REALLOCATION OF REMAINING FUNDS FROM THREE PARKS PROJECTS TO LAMAR PARK PHASE I IMPROVEMENTS (DISTRICT: 2)

OVERVIEW:Lamar Park is an undeveloped local park located in the Community of Spring Valley, which consists of approximately 9 acres.

OVERVIEW:On Sunday morning, October 26th, the San Diego region witnessed three separate fires, one of which grew into the worst fire in state history. A disastrous combination of weather conditions, tinder-dry vegetation, and lack of fire-fighting resources somehow turned what may have been manageable fires into more than 384,289 acres of charred territory, claiming the lives of 15 residents, one firefighter, and 2,407 homes. How did this happen? What could have been different? How can we keep this kind of catastrophe from ever happening again? These are questions that San Diego County residents are asking—and they deserve answers.

FISCAL IMPACT:There are no fiscal impacts associated with this recommendation.

a. Why was the Cedar Fire not contained within the first few hours on the evening of Saturday, October 25th?

b. Why was the San Diego region without adequate fire fighting equipment when the Cedar Fire started, especially when the region was under a red flag weather alert due to Santa Ana wind conditions?

c. Why did it take more than 12 hours to release the San Diego regions’ own fire fighting equipment from other parts of the state?

d. Why did it take so long for military and other available fire fighting support to respond?

e. Why were residents not notified to evacuate in a timely manner?

4. Direct the Chief Administrative Officer to communicate this request to the Governor-elect of California.
