AUTHORIZATION FOR EXTENSION OF CONTRACTS (DISTRICTS: ALL)

OVERVIEW:The County of San Diego’s Health and Human Services Agency provides a continuum of mental health services for children, adolescents and their families. On August 10, 1999 (1), your Board approved the Children’s Mental Health System of Care Implementation Plan, which authorized AB 2726 services and expanded services available within the children’s system of care. The AB 2726 program provides school based services that include out-patient, day treatment and residential treatment services. Interim day treatment services are also a part of this continuum as providers seek to insure compliance with a student’s individualized education plan when day treatment programs are at capacity.

Interim day treatment services are necessary to maintain compliance with AB 2726 requirements and insure seamless delivery of services. The current interim day treatment contracts were awarded on July 1, 2004 and will expire on June 30, 2009. Board authority is requested to negotiate extension of terms for two existing mental health contracts through June 30, 2014. Sole source exception is requested to maintain existing services already in place when the demand for services exceeds capacity. Both San Diego Center for Children and the Oak Grove Institute have developed expertise providing interim day treatment services within their residential programs over the past nine years. San Diego Center for Children and the Oak Grove Institute are residential treatment facilities that are currently serving AB 2726 children, and they are uniquely situated to provide interim day treatment services on an as needed, temporary basis.

FISCAL IMPACT:Funds for this request are included in the FY 2008-10 adopted Operational Plan for the Health and Human Services Agency. If approved, this request will result in no current year cost and revenue and subsequent year costs and revenue in the amount of $400,000. Funding sources are AB 2726 and SB 90. There will be no change in net general fund cost and no additional staff years.


RECOMMENDATION:CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERIn accordance with Board Policy A-87, Competitive Procurement, authorize the Director, Department of Purchasing and Contracting to enter into negotiations

On December 13, 2005 (1), school based programs were augmented with Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) funds to enable them to also serve non Medi-Cal students with mental health issues.

EPSDT services include school based rehabilitation and outpatient programs that have been designed in partnership with school districts, families and communities. These programs provide day rehabilitation and outpatient services to children and adolescents to improve their functional, daily living, social and leisure skills, consistent with requirements for learning and development. The current contracts providing these services were awarded on July 1, 2004 and July 1, 2005 and expire respectively on June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2010. Board authority is requested to authorize the continuation of the school based contracts beyond their current expiration dates. This action is required to maintain the approved system-wide plans for delivery of services to children, youth and families.

FISCAL IMPACT:Funds for this request are included in FY 2008-10 Adopted Operational Plan for Health and Human Services Agency.

OVERVIEW:On December 19, 2006, the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act of 2006 (RWTMA) was signed into law reauthorizing the former Ryan White CARE Act for an additional three years. Annual RWTMA funding is used to provide care and treatment services to individuals and families with HIV disease and AIDS.

On July 22, 2008 (4), the Board authorized staff to submit applications for the nineteenth year of RWTMA Part A and Part B funding for the periods of March 1, 2009 through February 28, 2010 (Part A), and for April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010 (Part B). Today’s action requests Board approval to accept Year 19 RWTMA Part A grant funding up to $11,432,847 and Part B funding up to $1,210,817, totaling $12,643,664. These amounts represent a ten percent increase above the amounts that were awarded in Year 18, and are the anticipated maximum amounts that the County might receive.

Authority is also requested to submit an application for continuation of Year 3 RWTMA Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI) funding for services to be delivered during the period of August 1, 2009 through July 31, 2010.

AYES: Cox, Jacob, Slater-Price, Roberts, Horn15. SUBJECT: FISCAL YEAR 2008-09 SECOND QUARTER

OPERATIONAL PLAN STATUS REPORT AND BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS (DISTRICTS: ALL)

OVERVIEW:This report summarizes the status of the County’s Fiscal Year 2008-09 Operational Plan, as measured by projected year-end fund balance from current year operations. The projected balance for the General Fund is $96.0 million, and for all budgetary funds combined, is $115.9 million. The projected balance in the General Fund is a significant improvement from the $0.6 million projected as of the first quarter, but the majority of the improvement is related to one-time unique circumstances, not to structural gains. The significant declines in real estate values, construction activity, and consumer spending continue to affect important funding streams used to pay for many services provided to County residents. Most severely affected are revenues from property taxes, sales tax, vehicle license fees, and recording fees, which are anticipated to be below budgeted levels by a combined $102.0 million, a $12.0 million drop from the first quarter projections.

2/24/09 18

Compounding these economic issues for the County is the budget crisis being faced by the State. Knowing that many County-provided services are dependent upon State funding, there is still the potential impact on various services. The County’s fiscal and management discipline, however, has afforded us the ability to respond to this situation in a methodical, strategic manner.

This letter includes requests to cancel appropriations of $343,744 in the Health and Human Services Agency and $284,361 in the Department of Planning and Land Use due to insufficient program revenues being available to support planned service levels.

This letter also recommends budget adjustments to make resource reallocations or to fund various one-time projects. In the Public Safety Group, adjustments are recommended to establish appropriations in the Sheriff’s Department for reimbursement to law enforcement agencies based on unanticipated revenues from the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) funding, to cancel appropriations and related 2007 Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) Homeland Security Grant revenue in the Sheriff’s Department because of a reallocation of the funds, and to transfer appropriations from the Defense Attorney/Contract Administration organization to the Public Defender Office of Assigned Counsel for costs associated with conflict indigent defense services.

In the Health and Human Services Agency, adjustments are recommended to transfer appropriations to Contributions to the Capital Outlay Fund to provide funding for the San Pasqual Academy Water Well Project in the Capital Outlay Fund.

In the Land Use and Environment Group, significant adjustments include amending the Airport Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) Fund Spending Plan and the Airport Non-AMT Fund Spending Plan to provide funding for the Palomar Airport Redevelopment Project, and to cancel appropriations and related revenue in the Department of Public Works Road Fund to correct the budget and re-establish appropriations based on available fund balance. In addition, a request is submitted to increase the fund balance designation within the General Fund for Environmental Health and to reduce the fund balance designation within the General Fund for the Department of Planning and Land Use based on an analysis of Fiscal Year 2007-08 costs and revenues in the two departments.

Finally, in the Community Services Group, a request is submitted to amend the Fleet Management Equipment Acquisition ISF Spending Plan to provide funding for the acquisition of two fire trucks based on a capital contribution from the Department of Planning and Land Use.

FISCAL IMPACT:The funds for a portion of these requests are not budgeted. If approved, these

2/24/09 19

actions will cancel budgeted appropriations and the related sources of funding in the amount of $785,205 in the General Fund and will establish additional appropriations of $450,868 in the General Fund, resulting in a net decrease in appropriations of $334,337 in the General Fund. The funding source in the General Fund represents the (HIDTA) revenue.

In addition to the General Fund, these actions will cancel budgeted appropriations and the related funding sources in the amount of $26,084,966 million in all other funds and will establish additional appropriations of $32,132,506 resulting in a net increase in appropriations of $6,047,540 in all the other funds combined. Funding sources include Road Fund fund balance, Airport AMT and Airport Non-AMT fund balance, and miscellaneous other sources.


RECOMMENDATION:CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER1. Accept the Fiscal Year 2008-09 second quarter report on projected year-

OVERVIEW:On December 9, 2003 (7), at the request of Supervisor Roberts and Supervisor Horn, our Board directed the Chief Administrative Officer to explore the creation of a governing body that would oversee the operation of a fire and life safety helicopter program. On February 10, 2004 (1), a five member Fire and Life Safety Helicopter Operating Council was formed. The purpose of this Council, when it was meeting, was to advise our Board on all matters pertaining to the fire and life safety helicopter, including the most cost-effective type of helicopter, staffing issues, funding options, etc.

Since then, the county has purchased two fire and life safety helicopters which are operated by the Sheriff’s Department, rendering the Operating Council unnecessary. This is a request to dissolve the Fire and Life Safety Helicopter Operating Council.
