SUBJECT: PUBLIC DEFENDER REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF OUT OF COUNTRY TRAVEL (DISTRICTS: ALL) In accordance with Board of Supervisor Policy D-7, Out-of-County Business and Related Guidelines and Processes, this is a request for one Deputy Public Defender to attend and present at a workshop sponsored by the Instituto de Estudios Comparados en Ciencias Penales y Sociales (INECIP) in Buenos Aires, Argentina to be held from March 18, 2013 through March 23, Funds for this request are included in the Fiscal Year Operational Plan. All travel and accommodation costs associated with this travel, estimated to be $1,700, will be covered by the INECIP. The Deputy Public Defender will receive regular salary and benefits and no overtime will be incurred as a result of this trip.

CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER Approve travel to Buenos Aires, Argentina for one Deputy Public Defender to attend a workshop sponsored by the Instituto de Estudios Comparados en Ciencias Penales y Sociales (INECIP) to be held from March 18, 2013 through March 23, SUBJECT: EVALUATING PACE PROGRAMS (DISTRICTS: ALL) The Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) program is an innovative publicprivate funding mechanism that allows both residential and commercial property owners to obtain financing for renewable onsite energy generation installations and other energy efficient improvements to their properties. Projects such as rooftop solar or other green sustainability measures are financed through an assessment on their property tax bill. Last September, the County of San Diego launched the PACE program for commercial properties only, since the Federal Housing Financing Administration (FHFA) had reaffirmed its position that effectively prohibited Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from purchasing any mortgages subject to a first-lien PACE obligation. Despite the FHFA ruling, some local governments such as Sonoma and Riverside Counties have decided to go forward with residential PACE programs. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 26,

4 Today s board letter directs the Chief Administrative Officer to review and analyze all PACE programs, both residential and commercial, that currently exist throughout the State of California. A side-by-side analysis of all programs shall be included with information regarding the various models, program vendors, fiscal impacts to the County and legal/financial risks to both the County and property owners. This information will provide the Board of Supervisors with information they need before considering any potential action to expand our current PACE program. There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. VICE-CHAIRWOMAN JACOB AND SUPERVISOR D. ROBERTS 1. Direct the Chief Administrative Officer to review and analyze all PACE programs, both residential and commercial, that currently exist and operate throughout the State of California. A side-by-side analysis of all programs shall be included with information regarding the various models, program vendors, fiscal impacts to the County and legal/financial risks to both the County and property owners. 2. Direct the Chief Administrative Officer to report back to the Board within 120 days. 3. SUBJECT: APPOINTMENT: MOBILE HOME ISSUES COMMITTEE (DISTRICTS: ALL) This appointment is in accordance with applicable Board Policy A 74, Citizen Participation in County Boards, Commissions and Committees.

5 4. SUBJECT: NOTICED PUBLIC HEARING: ISSUANCE OF REVENUE BONDS BY THE CALIFORNIA STATEWIDE COMMUNITIES DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY FOR THE BENEFIT OF CORTEZ PRESERVATION LIMITED PARTNERSHIP FOR THE CASA DE CORTEZ APARTMENTS IN AN AGGREGATE AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $5,000,000 (DISTRICT: 5) The County has received a request from the California Statewide Communities Development Authority ( CSCDA or Authority ) to conduct a public hearing as required by the Internal Revenue Code and to approve the Authority s issuance of tax-exempt obligations in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $5,000,000 ( Obligations ), on behalf of Cortez Preservation Limited Partnership, established by Preservation Partners Management Group ( Borrower ). The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Obligations to finance the acquisition, rehabilitation and development of a 32-unit multifamily housing rental facility known as Casa de Cortez Apartments located at 528 De Luz Road, in the unincorporated area of Fallbrook in the County of San Diego, California ("Project"). CSCDA is authorized to assist in financing for nonprofit public benefit organizations or for-profit corporations with a public benefit project wishing to issue tax-exempt obligations, including the Borrower. In order to initiate such a financing, a member jurisdiction in which the Project resides, 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 the Obligations. Although CSCDA will be the issuer of the Obligations for the Borrower, the financing cannot proceed without the approval of the County of San Diego. Today s recommendations will provide CSCDA with the required authorization to pursue its determination to issue the Obligations on behalf of the Borrower for the Project. If approved, the proposal will result in $1,000 of unanticipated revenue to be used to reimburse the County for costs associated with this non-county financing. No additional staff years will be required. The Borrower will be responsible for the payment of all present and future costs in connection with issuance of the financing. The County will incur no obligation of indebtedness as a result of these actions. CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER 1. Pursuant to Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code, hold a public hearing regarding the financing of the Project. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 26,

SUBJECT: SAN DIEGUITO UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT 2013 GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS, ELECTION OF 2012 (DISTRICTS: 3 & 5) A special bond election was duly held in the San Dieguito Union High School District ( District ) on November 6, 2012 pursuant to Section and following TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 26,

7 of the Education Code of the State of California. Approximately 55.52% of those voters casting ballots (which is above the 55% voter approval level required) authorized the issuance of general obligation bonds of the District in the maximum aggregate principal amount of $449,000,000 ( Authorization ). On February 7, 2013, the Board of Trustees of the District ( District Board ) adopted a resolution ( District Resolution ), providing for the issuance and sale of general obligation bonds to be designated the San Dieguito Union High School District 2013 General Obligation Bonds (Election of 2012), with appropriate series designations in the aggregate principal amount not to exceed $160,000,000 ( 2013 Bonds ). Proceeds from the 2013 Bonds will be used to finance specific construction and modernization projects and to pay costs of issuance of the 2013 Bonds of the District as approved by the voters in the November 6, 2012 election. Following the sale of the 2013 Bonds, there will be approximately $289,000,000 of available Authorization. If approved, today s recommendation will formally appoint the Treasurer-Tax Collector to act as paying agent, direct the Auditor and Controller to maintain taxes as necessary for the Series 2013 Bonds. The 2013 Bonds are general obligations of the District to be paid from ad valorem property taxes levied within the boundaries of San Dieguito Union High School District and do not constitute an obligation of the County of San Diego. CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER Adopt a Resolution entitled: RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, AUTHORIZING THE SAN DIEGUITO UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT TO ISSUE AND SELL BONDS OF THE DISTRICT BY A NEGOTIATED SALE PURSUANT TO ONE OR MORE BOND PURCHASE CONTRACTS, APPROVING THE FORM OF AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF A PAYING AGENT AGREEMENT, AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF NECESSARY CERTIFICATES RELATING TO SAID BONDS. 7. SUBJECT: FISCAL YEAR SECOND QUARTER OPERATIONAL PLAN STATUS REPORT AND BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS (DISTRICTS: ALL) This report summarizes the status of the County s Fiscal Year Operational Plan, as measured by projected year-end fund balance from current year TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 26,

8 operations. The projected balance for the General Fund is $116.7 million, and for all budgetary funds combined is $140.4 million. In the General Fund, positive balances are projected for all five groups. In addition, the projected fund balance reflects the conservation of management and contingency reserves and projects that general purpose revenue will do better than estimated in the adopted budget.

The funding sources include Sheriff Asset Forfeiture Fund fund balance, County Service Areas (CSAs) 107 Elfin Forecast Fire Protection Fund, 110 Mt.

SUBJECT: IMPROVING DETECTION TIMES IN OUR BEACH WATER QUALITY MONITORING PROGRAM (DISTRICTS: ALL) The County of San Diego through its Department of Environmental Health (DEH) performs beach water quality sampling and acts as a clearing house for beach water quality monitoring data in order to notify the public when water quality standards are not met at recreational beaches (ocean and bays). Through the Beach and Bay Water Quality Monitoring Program DEH samples and posts signs warning of contaminated water at beaches affected by sewage spills when monitoring indicates bacteria levels exceed State standards, or during other events that may pose a threat to public health. Water samples are currently tested using culturebased methods, which typically require at least hours for results. To address this significant lag time between water collection and public notification, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated new criteria for beach water quality and certified new rapid measurement methods for Enterococcus bacteria. Approval of the recommendations will direct the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) to initiate a rapid detection pilot study for our beach water quality monitoring program in San Diego County and add to the Legislative Program language that would advocate several allowances for the qpcr method. The study will systematically evaluate when and where the qpcr method can be used to effectively and efficiently reduce the lag time for getting lab results. This funding is not included in the Fiscal Year Operational Plan. It is estimated that funds to conduct a rapid detection pilot study for beach water quality monitoring will cost $59,000 in lab and material costs to set up the program ($17,000) and to conduct monitoring in certain locations from April 1, 2013 to April 1, 2014 ($42,000). Upon approval of this item, funds will be identified. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 26,

15 CHAIRMAN GREG COX 1. Direct the Chief Administrative Officer to conduct a rapid detection pilot study for beach water quality monitoring in San Diego County and report back to the Board within 60 days of its completion to report on its findings. 2. Direct the Chief Administrative Officer to add to the County of San Diego Legislative Program the following advocacy priorities: Urge the State Department of Public Health to allow inter-laboratory calibration until the State certifies the qpcr method for use in laboratories throughout the State and urge the State to allow reimbursement of costs for qpcr testing under the ongoing contract for beach water quality testing. 3. Direct the Chief Administrative Officer to seek legislation to allow for qpcr results for Enterococcus as an option for determining beach water quality as it does with the current culture based fecal indicator bacteria methods for Total Coliform, Fecal Coliform and Enterococcus and to add this legislative sponsorship proposal to the Board s Legislative Program. 4. Direct the Chief Administrative Officer to identify funding, in the amount of $59,000 to implement this study. 11. SUBJECT: CLOSED SESSION (DISTRICTS: ALL) A.
