1. / SUBJECT: / SHERIFF – AUTHORIZATION TO EXTEND USER AGREEMENTS FOR THE CALIFORNIA IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM/REMOTE ACCESS NETWORK (CAL-ID/RAN) (DISTRICTS: ALL)
OVERVIEW:
The California Identification System/Remote Access Network (Cal-ID/RAN) consists of a statewide network of equipment and procedures providing local law enforcement agencies direct access to local, state, and federal automated fingerprint, palm print, photo systems, and databases. It provides identification of criminals booked into detention facilities and latent prints lifted from crime scenes. A Cal-ID User Agreement exists between all the cities within the San Diego Region and outlines agency contributions towards the cost of the program.
The current five-year Cal-ID/RAN agreement will expire on June 30, 2010. This is a request to extend the Cal-ID/RAN User Agreement for one year until June 30, 2011. This one-year extension is requested in lieu of a new five-year contract because the method for determining user city fees is currently under review.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds for this request are included in the Fiscal Year 2010-2011 CAO Proposed Operational Plan in the Sheriff’s Department. If approved, this request will result in costs of $3,598,146 and revenue of $2,853,182. The revenue includes fees of $492,322 from the eighteen cities in the San Diego Region and $2,360,860 from the Sheriff’s Fingerprint ID Trust Fund. There will be no change in the net General Fund cost of $744,964 and no additional staff years.
BUSINESS IMPACT STATEMENT:
N/A
RECOMMENDATION:
SHERIFF
Approve and authorize the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors to accept and execute an amendment to extend the current California Identification System/Remote Access Network User Agreements from June 30, 2010 to June 30, 2011 with the cities of Carlsbad, Chula Vista, Coronado, Del Mar, El Cajon, Encinitas, Escondido, Imperial Beach, La Mesa, Lemon Grove, National City, Oceanside, Poway, San Diego, San Marcos, Santee, Solana Beach, and Vista.

2. / SUBJECT: / SHERIFF – RATIFICATION OF GRANT APPLICATION TO THE U. S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE COMMUNITY ORIENTED POLICING SERVICES FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2010 COPS HIRING PROGRAM (DISTRICTS: ALL)
OVERVIEW:
The Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) is the component of the U. S. Department of Justice (USDOJ) responsible for advancing the practice of community policing by the nation’s state, local, territory, and tribal law enforcement agencies through information and grant resources. In 2009, the Sheriff’s Department submitted an application to the USDOJ for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2009 COPS Hiring Program, which was part of the Recovery Act Program. This previous application was not funded. This year, the Sheriff’s Department was invited to apply for the USDOJ FY 2010 COPS Hiring Program, a grant that will provide 100 percent funding for approved entry-level salaries and fringe benefits for three years for newly-hired, full-time sworn officer positions, or for rehired officers who have been laid off or are scheduled to be laid off on a future date as a result of local budget cuts. This grant requires that any deputies hired under the FY 2010 COPS Hiring Program must be retained for a fourth year, funded by the agency that received the grant funds.
This is a request to ratify the Sheriff’s Department’s submission of a grant application for the FY 2010 COPS Hiring Program. If awarded, this grant will fund 35 positions (35.0 additional staff years) in the Sheriff’s Department for three years at a cost of $9,697,835.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds for this request are not included in the Fiscal Year 2010-11 CAO Proposed Operational Plan for the Sheriff’s Department. If the application is awarded, it will result in a total of $9,697,835 of unanticipated revenue over the next three years and 35.0 additional staff years. A subsequent item will be brought to your Board to accept and appropriate funds if the application is awarded. The funding source is the USDOJ FY 2010 COPS Hiring Program. Grant guidelines stipulate that any deputies hired under the program must be retained for a fourth year, funded by the agency that received the grant funds.

5. / SUBJECT: / COUNTY INDIGENT HEALTH SERVICES
(DISTRICTS: ALL)
OVERVIEW:
The County of San Diego, through its County Medical Services (CMS) and Health Care Coverage Initiative (CI) programs, provides necessary medical care for indigent San Diego County residents, ages 21 through 64, using a network of contracted community providers. CMS is mandated by State law and serves approximately 18,000 unduplicated beneficiaries annually. Approved by the Board on October 16, 2007 (3), the CI is a comprehensive chronic disease management program that serves approximately 3,000 indigent uninsured San Diego County residents and targets the high cost conditions of diabetes, hypertension and other related medical conditions. The CI is federally funded through a competitive grant, awarded to the County by the State. CMS and CI beneficiaries are eligible for primary care, hospital emergency and inpatient care, other approved medical services, and pharmaceutical benefits.
In order to strengthen the health care safety net in San Diego County, the Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) has made significant efforts to engage local health care providers, including hospitals, to enter into contracts to provide health services to indigent patients. Current Board authority is set to expire June 30, 2011 for CMS provider agreements and August 31, 2010 for CI provider agreements.
Board action is requested to provide authorization to continue contracting with indigent medical providers for a recommended term of one year with six option years or until such time as the County is relieved of the State mandate for CMS, or the State terminates the CI program respectively. In addition, the Board is requested to authorize payments at a reduced amount for non-network CMS and CI hospital providers for emergency services provided to eligible CMS and CI beneficiaries. Finally, staff requests authorization to work together with local stakeholders and the State regarding the planning for possible extension and expansion of the CI Program; accept an extension of the CI Demonstration Project; and execute agreements with the State of California, Department of Health Care Services.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds for these programs are included in the Fiscal Year 2010 – 2012 CAO Proposed Operational Plan for the Health and Human Services Agency. If approved, this will result in annual costs and revenue of $79,202,946. The funding sources for CMS are Health Realignment ($31,538,953); Tobacco Settlement ($16,989,405); Third Party Reimbursement ($6,634,588); and County General Purpose Revenue ($11,000,000). The funding source for CI is federal funding ($13,040,000) through the State of California, Department of Health Care Services. There will be no change in net General Fund cost and no additional staff years.
