9. SUBJECT: PROPERTY TAX EXCHANGE FOR JURISDICTIONAL CHANGES – PILOT TRAVEL CENTER ANNEXATION TO THE SAN DIEGO RURAL FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT (DISTRICT: 1)

OVERVIEW:Section 99 of the Revenue and Taxation Code requires that the Board of Supervisors adopt a property tax exchange before the Local Agency Formation Commission can process a proposal for jurisdictional change.

01/27/09 11

On September 26, 2007 (7), the Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution regarding negotiated property tax exchange relative to jurisdictional changes for the vacant 13.7 acre parcel to the San Diego Rural Fire Protection District for a commercial travel center planned for construction on the site. This proposal involves the annexation of the Pilot Travel Center property and the surrounding clustered parcels, all of which are currently served by County Service Area 135, into the San Diego Rural Fire Protection District to obtain structural fire protection and emergency medical services.

The annexation territory is generally located north of Otay Mesa Road, east of the San Diego City limit and south of Wiley Road. (Thomas Guide Pages 1351/H1).

FISCAL IMPACT:If approved, this proposal will result in an estimated reduction of $6,467 in the first year of the exchange to the County’s share of property tax in the area, as well as a loss of service responsibility. The proposed action will require the addition of no staff years.

10. SUBJECT: HEALTHY OPPORTUNITIES DURING AN UNHEALTHY ECONOMY (DISTRICTS: ALL)

OVERVIEW:While we have made many changes to improve access to food stamps in recent years, these difficult economic times require that we do even more. Many people who have paid taxes and worked hard now need a stop-gap measure to ensure that the basic needs of their families are met. One necessity that is fundamental is access to healthy food.

In the County’s role as the administrator of food assistance programs, we have the opportunity to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of distributing this vital resource. Doing more with less is part of the county business model, and during times of economic crisis this becomes even more crucial.

FISCAL IMPACT:There is no fiscal impact related to this action.


RECOMMENDATION:SUPERVISOR ROBERTS AND SUPERVISOR HORNDirect the Chief Administrative Officer to report back in 90 days with the following:

a. Program and policy recommendations to simplify the food stamp program eligibility process while maintaining program integrity and identify potential legislative roadblocks to these proposed recommendations and

b. Potential funding and program opportunities in the Federal Farm Bill that would establish an incentive program for food stamp recipients to purchase fruits and vegetables with an emphasis on buying locally grown produce at farmers’ markets, and provide information on the County’s possible role in these programs.

11. SUBJECT: ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION AND PASSPORT PROGRAM AT SAN DIEGO COUNTY PARKS(DISTRICTS: ALL)

OVERVIEW:“Staycation” is quickly becoming a common word in the American vocabulary. This is a vacation that is taken close to home due to current economic circumstances. Staycations are increasingly becoming the best option for families impacted by the recent economic uncertainties. As spring and summer approach, and families starting thinking about a viable alternative for an economically efficient vacation, the County’s parks and recreation network provides a great opportunity.

With the residents of San Diego County staying relatively close to home, what better time to reintroduce them to the natural, cultural and historical assets they possess in their own county. One way to educate these people about the County’s Parks and Recreation system is to provide an Environmental Education and Passport Program which will invite and challenge the families of San Diego to visit and explore the existing parks and preserves the County has to offer.

The County of San Diego’s Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) can take the lead in creating and implementing this program that can reach out to “staycationers” and visitors alike. DPR can deliver a user-friendly environmental education and passport program to encourage families to enjoy and learn more about the local natural, historical and cultural resources.

FISCAL IMPACT:There is no fiscal impact associated with these recommendations.


RECOMMENDATION:SUPERVISOR SLATER-PRICE 1. Direct the CAO to work with the County of San Diego Department of

Parks and Recreation to examine the cost of creating and implementing a County-wide Environmental Education Program and Passport program.

2. Direct the CAO to report back to the Board of Supervisors in 180 days with recommendations for creating and implementing a County-wide Environmental Education Program and Passport program and providing associated costs.

13. SUBJECT: NOTICED PUBLIC HEARING: ISSUANCE OF BONDS BY THE CALIFORNIA STATEWIDE COMMUNITIES DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY FOR FRANCIS PARKER SCHOOL IN AN AGGREGATE AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $20,000,000 (DISTRICT: 4)

OVERVIEW:The County has received a request from the California Statewide Communities Development Authority (“CSCDA”) to conduct a public hearing as required by the Internal Revenue Code and approve CSCDA’s issuance of revenue bonds in an aggregate amount not to exceed $20,000,000 (the “Bonds”), on behalf of Francis Parker School, a California non-profit organization (the “Borrower”). The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Bonds to finance the construction, improvement, rehabilitation, equipping, furnishing and installing of real property located at 6501 Linda Vista Road, San Diego, California, 92111, to be used as educational facilities (the “Project”).

CSCDA is a joint exercise of powers authority consisting of numerous California cities, counties, and special districts, including the County of San Diego. CSCDA is authorized to assist in the financing of non-profit public benefit organizations, including the Borrower. In order to initiate such a financing, the member participant, i.e. the County of San Diego, must: (1) conduct a public hearing to satisfy the public approval requirement of Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code; and (2) approve CSCDA’s issuance of indebtedness. Although CSCDA will be the issuer of the tax-exempt obligations for the Borrower, the financing cannot proceed without the approval of the County of San Diego.

FISCAL IMPACT:The County’s membership in CSCDA bears with it no cost or other financial obligation, but serves as a public acknowledgement as the host jurisdiction of the Project being financed. Funds for this request are not included in the Fiscal Year 2008-2009 Operational Plan. If approved, this proposal will result in $1,000 of unanticipated revenue to be used to reimburse the County for costs associated with this non-County financing.

The Borrower will be responsible for the payment of all present and future costs in connection with the issuance of the Bonds. The County will incur no obligation of indebtedness as a result of these actions.


RECOMMENDATION:CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER1. Pursuant to Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code, hold a public

hearing regarding the financing of the Project.

01/27/09 18

2. Adopt a resolution named:

RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO AUTHORIZING AND APPROVING A FINANCING TO BE UNDERTAKEN BY THE CALIFORNIA STATEWIDE COMMUNITIES DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY FOR THE BENEFIT OF FRANCIS PARKER SCHOOL IN AN AGGREGATE AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $20,000,000.

ACTION:ON MOTION of Supervisor Slater-Price, seconded by Supervisor Cox, the Board closed the Hearing and took action as recommended, on Consent, adopting Resolution No. 09-008, entitled: RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO AUTHORIZING AND APPROVING A FINANCING TO BE UNDERTAKEN BY THE CALIFORNIA STATEWIDE COMMUNITIES DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY FOR THE BENEFIT OF FRANCIS PARKER SCHOOL IN AN AGGREGATE AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $20,000,000.


14. SUBJECT: RESOLUTION REGARDING REQUESTS FOR FEDERAL CRIMINAL HISTORY FOR EMPLOYEES (DISTRICTS: ALL)

OVERVIEW:The County of San Diego’s Department of Human Resources (DHR), Risk Management Division, Background Investigation Unit processes background checks for prospective County of San Diego employees, volunteers, interns and student workers for 28 departments. Criminal history background checks are a key component in determining an applicant’s suitability for employment. They ensure the timely identification of any criminal history that is incompatible with the activities and interactions required by the job including, direct contact with children, access to cash or other funds, benefit determination responsibilities, access to information that is restricted by law, and driving a vehicle on County business. Candidates are currently required to complete a background check which consists of fingerprinting for California Department of Justice (DOJ) criminal record clearance and federal criminal record clearance for candidates with any out-of-state residence history, which is not based on fingerprinting.

To effectively maximize protection of sensitive County information and vulnerable populations, DHR needs to ensure that employees, volunteers, interns and student workers have no federal criminal history by utilizing a fingerprint match. Before DHR can obtain federal criminal history background checks through fingerprinting, California law [Penal Code Sections 11105(b)(10) and 13300(b)(10)] requires the Board of Supervisors to authorize DHR to receive this information. Today’s action requests adoption of a resolution

01/27/09 19

authorizing requests for federal criminal history from DOJ for employees, volunteers, interns and student workers.

FISCAL IMPACT:Funds for this request are included in the Fiscal Year 2008-10 Operational Plan, in the applicable department budgets. The current annual cost for fingerprint checks is approximately $128,858.00. Costs for the federal criminal history background checks appear to be comparable to the current method and therefore will not require additional funds. There will be no change in net General Fund cost and no additional staff years.


RECOMMENDATION:CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERAdopt a Resolution entitled:

RESOLUTION GRANTING THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES IN THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO THE AUTHORITY TO REQUEST FEDERAL CRIMINAL HISTORY FOR EMPLOYEES, VOLUNTEERS, INTERNS AND STUDENT WORKERS.

ACTION:ON MOTION of Supervisor Slater-Price, seconded by Supervisor Cox, the Board took action as recommended, on Consent, adopting Resolution No. 09-009, entitled: RESOLUTION GRANTING THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES IN THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO THE AUTHORITY TO REQUEST FEDERAL CRIMINAL HISTORY FOR EMPLOYEES, VOLUNTEERS, INTERNS AND STUDENT WORKERS.

17. SUBJECT: REVISED LEASE REVENUE BOND DOCUMENTS FOR THE COUNTY OPERATIONS CENTER AND ANNEX REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AND RELATED BUDGET AMENDMENTS (DISTRICTS: ALL)

OVERVIEW:On April 8, 2008 (7) the Board directed the Chief Administrative Officer to include funding for Phase 1 of the County Operations Center (COC) and Annex Redevelopment project (Project) in the Fiscal Year 2008-10 Operational Plan, and directed the Chief Financial Officer to seek long-term financing through the San Diego Regional Building Authority (SDRBA). On September 23, 2008 (15), the Board approved the issuance of up to $325 million in lease revenue bonds to support Phase 1 of this project. The bonds were scheduled to be issued during the first weeks of October; however, significant volatility and restricted liquidity in global debt markets negatively affected the pricing of the bonds. Since that time, both short-term and long-term municipal bond rates have risen considerably and have resulted in the delay of most debt issuances which were scheduled to be brought to the market. In addition, as reported in the Fiscal Year 2008-09 First Quarter Operational Plan Status Report, the impacts of the struggling global economy are projected to result in a greater impact on County revenues than what was originally anticipated when the Project funding was approved in the Spring.

01/27/09 23

The construction of Phase 1 ($308.3 million in construction costs) is now recommended to be divided into two phases, Phase 1A ($188.5 million in construction costs) and Phase 1B. In response to the changing economic climate, the recommendations before the Board today will approve financing documents to segment funding of Phase 1 into two stages, limiting the amount of bonds to be issued at this time to no more than $175 million to fund Phase 1A costs only and will adjust the Fiscal Year 2008-09 budget to reflect the reduction in the scope of the project. In addition, it is recommended that the search for new facilities for COC and Annex tenants that will not be moving to or staying at the COC except for those relocations necessitated by Phase 1A be placed on hold until such time as a decision is made to go forward with Phase 1B.

FISCAL IMPACT:Total costs required to fund Phase 1A of this project are estimated to be $216.7 million, which includes construction costs and financing costs such as capitalized interest and fees, a debt service reserve fund, and costs of issuance. The funding sources are an estimated $141.7 million in lease revenue bonds and a $75 million general purpose revenue cash contribution. Appropriations associated with this request are included in the Fiscal Year 2008-2009 Operational Plan in the Capital Outlay Fund. If approved, this request will result in annual lease payments of approximately $10.4 million beginning in Fiscal Year 2011-2012. The Lease Revenue bonds are scheduled to mature in 2036 (27 years). This action will result in no additional staff years. Staff will return to the board prior to the December 2010 scheduled construction start date of Phase 1B with recommendations for funding that next phase.

In addition to the appropriations for the COC and Annex Redevelopment Project, the Fiscal Year 2008-09 Operational Plan includes $56 million to acquire new facilities for COC and Annex tenants that would not be part of the new COC Campus. Approximately $48 million remains of that funding following the purchase of an office building in Kearny Mesa for the combined Family Resource Center and the North Central Region Public Health Clinic. After new space is acquired for the Probation Work Projects office that is currently at the COC in the Phase 1A footprint, the remainder of the funds will be frozen pending a go-ahead decision on Phase 1B. The cost for this new space has not yet been determined.
