3. / SUBJECT: / SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT OF ONE GAS CHROMATOGRAPH MASS SPECTROMETER (GCMS) SYSTEM AND UPGRADES TO THREE EXISTING GCMS SYSTEMS (DISTRICTS: ALL)
OVERVIEW:
The Crime Laboratory’s Controlled Substances Analysis Section processes over 5,000 cases every year. The chemical structure of thousands of suspected narcotic compounds is analyzed using Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectrometer (GCMS) systems. This analysis is crucial in supplying the forensic evidence necessary for criminal cases.
One of the GCMS systems has reached the end of its useful life and needs to be replaced. Three other GCMS systems require upgrades which will extend their useful life.
This action requests authorization for the sole source procurement of one Agilent 7890B/5977A GCMS system, and upgrades to three existing GCMS systems (two Hewlett-Packard 6890/5973A systems, and one Agilent 6980N/5973N system).
Fiscal impact:
Funds for this request are included in the Fiscal Year 2012-13 Operational Plan for the Sheriff's Department. If approved, this request will result in estimated current year costs and revenue of $121,387, and an annual maintenance cost of $400 after the end of the one year warranty period of the new instrument. The funding source is general purpose revenue. All existing GCMS are currently covered under a yearly maintenance contract. There will be no change in net General Fund cost and no additional staff years.

5. / SUBJECT: / TRANSFER OF HEALTHY FAMILIES PROGRAM CASES TO MEDI-CAL (DISTRICTS: ALL)
OVERVIEW:
California’s Medi-Cal program provides basic health care safety net services to qualified, low-income residents of California. State law requires that County employees perform eligibility and enrollment services for the program. The County of San Diego’s Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA), under the direction and authority of the California Department of Health Care Services, manages approximately 171,732 cases comprised of 354,000 Medi-Cal recipients and process 13,800 new applications monthly.
Historically, California’s Healthy Families Program has provided low cost health insurance for children who do not have insurance and do not qualify for no cost Medi-Cal. It included health, dental and vision coverage for enrollees. The Healthy Families Program was previously administered by the State’s Managed Risk Medical Insurance Board (MRMIB).
The 2012-13 California State Budget called for the transition of approximately 880,000 Healthy Families program recipients statewide to the Medi-Cal program over a twelve-month period beginning in January 2013. As a result of this policy change, Counties are now responsible for the maintenance and transition of the Healthy Families Program recipients into Medi-Cal. Locally, this translates into an estimated 73,000 children being transferred to San Diego’s Medi-Cal caseload. Additionally, it is anticipated that 1,400 new Medi-Cal applications will be received each month during the twelve-month transition period. This new population will also be evaluated for CalFresh benefits.
