1. PURSUING A CERTIFIED AGE-FRIENDLY EMPLOYER DESIGNATION FOR THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO (DISTRICTS: ALL) SUBJECT: OVERVIEW In 2022, there were more than 1.1 million adults aged 50 and older living in San Diego County, representing over one-third (33.6%) of the total population. By 2029, this number is projected to grow to more than 1.2 million.1 As our region continues to age, the County of San Diego (County) has an opportunity to advance efforts that ensure its workforce reflects the population it serves. The Age-Friendly Institute is a national organization dedicated to elevating the voices of older adults and supporting organizations in improving their workplace cultures, products, and services. Its Certified Age-Friendly Employer (CAFE) program is the leading designation for employers committed to being among the best places to work for individuals aged 50 and older. Since its inception, hundreds of companies and organizations across sectors have earned this distinction. The County has long prioritized investing in an empowered workforce and advancing operational excellence. Adults aged 50 and over currently serve in a wide variety of roles across the County, from public safety and health services to administrative and technical roles, ensuring continuity, stability, and high-quality public service. With an increasingly aging population, the County has an opportunity to demonstrate leadership by ensuring its workforce reflects the residents it serves. By employing and retaining adults aged 50 and older, the County not only benefits from their depth of experience, institutional knowledge, and mentorship capacity, but also builds trust and strengthens its connection with the community. Pursuing Age-Friendly Employer designation represents a natural next step in further advancing the County’s commitment to equity, inclusion, and a workforce that reflects San Diego County residents. Today’s item requests the Chief Administrative Officer pursue a Certified Age-Friendly Employer designation for the County. RECOMMENDATION(S) VICE-CHAIR MONICA MONTGOMERY STEPPE Direct the Chief Administrative Officer to pursue a Certified Age-Friendly Employer designation for the County of San Diego, ensuring our workplace honors the invaluable contributions of older adults and models the inclusivity and diversity of the communities we serve. EQUITY IMPACT STATEMENT By pursuing Certified Age-Friendly Employer (CAFE) designation, the County of San Diego (County) furthers its foundational commitments to equity, inclusion, and representative governance. This initiative builds upon the County’s membership in the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities, which affirms its dedication to livable, inclusive environments for older adults, and the Aging Roadmap, the region’s guiding plan for policies and programs that support older adults equitably. Within the Aging Roadmap, the priority area known as the Silver 1TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2025

Economy highlights the importance of equity and inclusion by ensuring that older adults are valued as part of a representative and inclusive workforce. By intentionally valuing and retaining employees aged 50 and over, the County enhances its connection with a demographic that now comprises over a third of its residents and is projected to continue growing. This designation elevates equitable workforce representation and ensures that older adults are recognized not only as residents but as integral contributors to public service. In alignment with the County’s broader Live Well San Diego vision and its Strategic Plan commitment to Equity (Health), the CAFE designation represents the next step in applying an age-inclusive equity lens across County employment practices. SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT STATEMENT Pursuing Certified Age-Friendly Employer designation supports the County of San Diego’s (County) long-term sustainability by fostering a stable, experienced, and engaged workforce. By valuing and retaining employees aged 50 and older, the County benefits from institutional knowledge, mentorship capacity, and workforce continuity, which contribute to operational resilience and reduced turnover. This initiative aligns with the County’s broader sustainability goals by promoting practices that strengthen the social and organizational foundations necessary for delivering high-quality, sustainable public services to the community. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with today’s recommendation. The actions requested in this item can be implemented using existing appropriations within the Health and Human Services Agency. There will be no change in net general fund costs and no additional staff years. BUSINESS IMPACT STATEMENT If approved, these recommendations are expected to have a positive impact on the business community. The Age-Friendly Institute reports that employers displaying the “Age-Friendly” seal on their job postings experience an increase in applicant interest compared to employers without the designation. By pursuing Certified Age-Friendly Employer status, the County of San Diego can model inclusive employment practices that strengthen its workforce while encouraging similar approaches across the region’s business community. ACTION: ON MOTION of Supervisor Montgomery Steppe, seconded by Supervisor Aguirre, the Board of Supervisors took action as recommended, on Consent. 2. RECEIVE UPDATE ON THE AGING ROADMAP SAN DIEGO COUNTY REGIONAL PLAN 2024-25 ANNUAL REPORT (DISTRICTS: ALL) SUBJECT: OVERVIEW According to population estimates from San Diego Association of Governments, of the nearly 3.3 million people currently residing in San Diego County, approximately 710,000 are adults aged 60 years and older. By 2029, the number of adults aged 60 years and older who reside in the county is expected to increase to more than 824,500. Therefore, it is essential that the County of San Diego (County) has a plan to support the unique needs of older adults and empower them to live healthy, safe, and thriving lives. Initiated at the direction of the San Diego County Board of 2TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2025

Supervisors on September 24, 2019 (4), the Aging Roadmap is the County plan to ensure that the region has programs and communities that equitably support the needs of older adults. The Aging Roadmap is organized by ten priority areas that collectively represent the County’s comprehensive system of care, including person-centered and community-wide approaches: Health & Community Support; Housing; Social Participation; Transportation; Dementia; Caregiver Support; Safety; Preparedness; Silver Economy; and Medical & Social Services System. The Aging Roadmap annual report highlights significant accomplishments across each of the ten priority areas as well as age-friendly efforts across the county. The region must continue to work collaboratively and proactively to strengthen the comprehensive system of care to better support older adults, their families, and people of all ages. Today’s action requests the Board receive the Aging Roadmap San Diego County Regional Plan 2024-25 Annual Report. This item supports the County vision of a just, sustainable, and resilient future for all, specifically those communities and populations in San Diego County that have been historically left behind, as well as our ongoing commitment to the regional Live Well San Diego vision of healthy, safe, and thriving communities. This will be accomplished by continuing to support older adults and persons with disabilities through various programs and initiatives and ensuring a community that is livable for people of all ages. RECOMMENDATION(S) CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER Receive update on the Aging Roadmap. EQUITY IMPACT STATEMENT Recognizing the increasing diversity of San Diego County’s population, the Aging Roadmap represents a commitment to ensuring that all residents can age well while accessing needed services, regardless of their race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender identity, and/or sexual orientation. Principles of equity and diverse community engagement have guided the development of Aging Roadmap priorities since its inception. Implementation of programs and initiatives within each of the priority areas are informed by the needs expressed by community members and stakeholders. Through regular convening of diverse community coalitions and collaboration with community-based organizations, the County of San Diego (County) has worked to ensure that programs are implemented with continuous input from those they intend to serve. Throughout this past fiscal year, community partnerships and cross-departmental collaboration have facilitated innovative approaches to increased program accessibility. Community partnerships have been instrumental in the success of programs for at-risk populations such as non-English speaking residents, homebound older adults, and rural communities. For example, transit trainings were held with diverse community members participating in the CalFresh Healthy Living program about the use of public transportation to access community resources. Partnerships with community-based organizations serving rural parts of the county were strengthened through frequent communication and resident-led planning. For example, the use of livestream technology helped to facilitate the implementation of new programming in Campo, a community with limited access to services due to its rural location. Additionally, the 3TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2025

Dementia-Friends initiative continues to educate various sectors of the community on how to be inclusive of those living with dementia and cultivate a sense of belonging for them and their families. The County continues to engage partners and community members in discussions to inform future initiatives and program planning. Likewise, providing input opportunities for diverse and often under-represented groups remains a priority. SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT STATEMENT Receiving today’s update supports the County of San Diego’s (County) Sustainability Goal #1 to engage the community in meaningful ways; Sustainability Goal #2 to provide just and equitable access to County services, and Sustainability Goal #4 to promote health and well-being. The Aging Roadmap represents the County’s comprehensive system of care for older adults, and it was informed by input from impacted stakeholders with diverse perspectives. The Aging Roadmap prioritizes equitable access to both person-centered and community-wide programs and services that aim to improve the quality of life and overall well-being of older adults. Furthermore, the Aging Roadmap advances the County’s sustainability goals by raising awareness on transportation programs and resources that enable older adults to access community resources; implementing programs that improve physical and social health; highlighting education efforts to help older adults avoid scams; and increasing opportunities for older adults to live in safe and affordable housing. The Aging Roadmap continues to underscore the needs of older adults in the region’s sustainability planning and leverages impactful partnerships to improve and expand services that enable older adults to live healthy, safe, and thriving lives. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with today’s recommendation. There will be no change in net general fund costs and no additional staff years. BUSINESS IMPACT STATEMENT N/A ACTION: ON MOTION of Supervisor Montgomery Steppe, seconded by Supervisor Aguirre, the Board of Supervisors took action as recommended, on Consent. Aguirre, Anderson, Lawson-Remer, Montgomery Steppe, DesmondAYES: 3. RECEIVE UPDATE ON ACTIONS TO ADDRESS THE TIJUANA RIVER SEWAGE (DISTRICTS: ALL) SUBJECT: OVERVIEW The Tijuana River Valley (TJRV) and surrounding South Bay communities continue to suffer from impacts from untreated sewage, urban runoff and toxic gases in the air, resulting in recurring contamination of ocean waters and nearby neighborhoods. This crisis has a particular impact on the well-being of residents, the environment, and the economy of the cities and unincorporated communities of Imperial Beach, Chula Vista, National City, San Diego, Bonita, East Otay Mesa, and Coronado. 4TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2025

Under the leadership of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors (Board), the County of San Diego (County), in partnership with stakeholders across the region, as well as at State and federal levels, are collaborating on innovative strategies to address this crisis. Recognizing the significant impacts to the environment, economy, and property within San Diego County caused by persistent cross-border sewage contamination and sewage-impacted ocean waters, the Board first issued a Proclamation of Emergency on June 27, 2023 (16). The Board has since continued the local emergency every 60 days, with the most recent action on September 10, 2025 (1). On June 24, 2025 (10), the Board adopted a five point plan that directed the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) to evaluate a set of programmatic options, identify priorities based on core County functions and potential public health impact, and return on September 30, 2025, with strategic recommendations and an implementation roadmap. Subsequent to the June action, on September 9, 2025 (17), the Board additionally directed the CAO to implement an epidemiological public health impact study in affected communities and an economic impact study to assess the full scope of losses caused by the sewage crisis, including impacts on small businesses, property values, and regional tourism, to better inform future funding and mitigation efforts. In addition, on September 9, 2025 (18) the Board adopted a resolution requesting that the State Water Resources Control Board allocate Proposition 4 cross-border rivers funding to projects focused on addressing the ongoing environmental and public health crises in TJRV. Today’s item requests the Board receive the directed update on ongoing efforts to strengthen the County’s response to the Tijuana River sewage crisis through strategic recommendations outlined as part of this action. A roadmap for implementation will be further refined through the Ad Hoc Subcommittee. RECOMMENDATION(S) CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER 1. Receive this update on ongoing efforts to strengthen the County’s response to the Tijuana River sewage crisis. EQUITY IMPACT STATEMENT The Tijuana River sewage crisis disproportionately affects residents in South Bay communities, including Imperial Beach, Chula Vista, National City, Bonita, and East Otay Mesa. According to the Assessment of Chemical Exposures survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry in November 2024, nearly 65 percent of surveyed South Bay households reported physical health symptoms and a decline in quality of life linked to sewage contamination from the Tijuana River Valley. This underscores stark disparities in environmental health impacts within the region. These areas include neighborhoods with higher proportions of low-income households, and vulnerable populations who are more likely to experience adverse health effects from environmental contamination. Various actions discussed as part of today’s update are designed to prioritize interventions where health risks are highest. By focusing resources on these communities and improving access to health and environmental protections, the County of San Diego is committed to addressing the root causes of this crisis, reducing disparities in exposure, enhance public health outcomes, and promote equitable access to safe environments for all residents. 5TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2025

SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT STATEMENT Today’s proposed action supports the County of San Diego (County) Sustainability Goal #4 to protect the health and well-being of everyone in the region; Sustainability Goal #5 to protect water in all forms; and Sustainability Goal #6 to develop natural and organic land management policies that protect ecosystems, habitats, biodiversity, and soil health throughout the county while providing opportunities for all residents to access and enjoy the outdoors. These objectives will be advanced through coordinated efforts with local, State, and federal partners, with a focus on addressing the root causes, as well as ongoing impacts of the Tijuana River Valley sewage crisis on nearby communities. The proposed measures emphasize safeguarding public health, improving environmental conditions, and conserving natural resources so that current and future residents, as well as visitors, can continue to benefit from the County’s diverse landscapes and ecosystems. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with today’s recommendation. There will be no change in net General Fund cost and no additional staff years. There may be future fiscal impacts associated with future related recommendations, which staff would return to the Board for consideration and approval. BUSINESS IMPACT STATEMENT The ongoing effects of the Tijuana River sewage crisis have impacted local commercial activity, reduced tourism, and created operational challenges for small businesses in coastal and border-adjacent communities. Allocating resources to address conditions in these areas supports efforts to stabilize economic activity, reduce business interruptions, and promote long-term economic resilience in affected communities. The economic impact study discussed as part of today’s update is anticipated to provide the Board and regional partners with a clear picture of the losses communities are facing and provide critical insights to guide relief efforts and long-term recovery planning. ACTION: ON MOTION of Supervisor Montgomery Steppe, seconded by Supervisor Aguirre, the Board of Supervisors took action as recommended, on Consent. 4. ACCEPTING PHILANTHROPIC FUNDING FROM THE CONRAD PREBYS FOUNDATION TO SUPPORT THE IMMIGRANT LEGAL DEFENSE PROGRAM (DISTRICTS: ALL) SUBJECT: OVERVIEW Across San Diego County, communities are increasingly living in fear as federal immigration crackdowns escalate, tearing families apart and destabilizing neighborhoods. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrests in the County have increased by over 400% this year, with indiscriminate raids hitting neighborhood restaurants, Home Depot parking lots, and even near elementary school drop-off zones. San Diegans have voiced in strong opposition to these actions, as families are displaced and loved ones detained, often with no criminal record, by agents 6TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2025

carrying out violent and chaotic arrests. As family members are swept up in these raids, they are left vulnerable to an immigration system rigged against them, one that denies even the basics of due process and a fair chance to make their case. Many detained by ICE have legitimate claims for relief, including asylum seekers fleeing violence, dangerous conditions, and political persecution. For generations, our nation has stood as a refuge for such stories, offering protection and pathways for people to contribute to our communities and strengthen our regional economy. That promise is now under direct attack. Immigration courts are unlike every other court system in the United States: they do not guarantee the right to an attorney. Families swept into these proceedings are left to face federal prosecutors alone, with no public defender to stand beside them. Without representation, cases are too often decided unfairly. Launched in 2021, San Diego County’s Immigrant Legal Defense Program (ILDP) was the first of its kind effort to provide free legal representation to people in removal proceedings. More than 2,000 cases have since received services and the results are stark: without an attorney, only 5 percent of people prevail in immigration court; with an attorney, the success rate rises to 66 percent. That difference has kept families together, prevented children from being returned to danger, and upheld the principle that due process applies to everyone. The ILDP is also cost-effective, delivering services at a fraction of the cost of private attorneys. On September 9 (Item 16), the Board voted to expand the ILDP to cover unaccompanied immigrant children, so kids as young as toddlers are not left to face a federal judge alone. Given the scale of current federal enforcement raids, demand on this program is rising and the need for new partnerships is stronger than ever. The County has previously strengthened ILDP through collaboration with community-based organizations, legal service providers, and other stakeholders. Today’s action accepts a $500,000 donation from the Conrad Prebys Foundation, one of San Diego’s leading philanthropic institutions, to expand the program and extend representation to more residents. This funding will sustain critical services, promote efficient use of public resources, and ensure that the ILDP remains a cornerstone of the County’s commitment to due process and guaranteeing that every resident has a fair day in court. RECOMMENDATION(S) CHAIR TERRA LAWSON-REMER 1. In accordance with Administrative Code Section 66 and Board Policy A-112, accept a donation of $500,000 from Conrad Prebys Foundation for the Immigrant Rights Legal Defense Program (ILDP) and refer to Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget deliberations the establishment of appropriations of $500,000 in the Public Defender for ILDP based on funds received in the current fiscal year from the Conrad Prebys Foundation. 2. Authorize the Chair of the Board of Supervisors to sign a letter of appreciation on behalf of the County of San Diego to the Conrad Prebys Foundation. EQUITY IMPACT STATEMENT By accepting money from private foundations, we can better sustain the Immigrant Legal Defense Program (ILDP) to protect individuals facing deportation. The ILDP has proven to be an 7TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2025

effective model with 66% of cases resulting in a substantive outcome. San Diego residents stand to benefit from this program and ensuring due process is at the core of the immigration raids in our region. SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT STATEMENT This action supports long-term community resilience by prioritizing local resources to protect due process. Promoting legal representation and stable families reduces the risk of unjust deportations, strengthens trust in government, and fosters the social cohesion that underpins a safe and sustainable region. FISCAL IMPACT Funds for these Recommendations are not included in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Operational Plan in the Public Defender. If approved, unanticipated revenue of $500,000 will be accepted in Fiscal Year 2025-26 and referred to the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Operational Plan in the Public Defender for support of the ILDP in the coming fiscal year. There will be no change in net General Fund cost and no additional staff years. BUSINESS IMPACT STATEMENT N/A ACTION: ON MOTION of Supervisor Montgomery Steppe, seconded by Supervisor Aguirre, the Board of Supervisors took action as recommended, on Consent. NOES: Desmond Aguirre, Anderson, Lawson-Remer, Montgomery SteppeAYES: DesmondNOES: 5. ADOPT A RESOLUTION TO WAIVE FEES FOR THE REBUILDING OF LEGAL STRUCTURES, DEBRIS DISPOSAL, AND REPLACEMENT OF DOCUMENTS DAMAGED OR DESTROYED BY THE SEPTEMBER 2025 COCHES FIRE (DISTRICT: 2) SUBJECT: OVERVIEW On September 8, 2025, a vegetation fire ignited in the community of Lakeside near Coches Road and quickly spread into the surrounding area. The Coches Fire burned approximately five acres and resulted in evacuations in nearby neighborhoods, displacing residents across the community. According to damage assessment reports, at least ten structures were destroyed, including homes, mobile homes, and travel trailers, and several more were damaged. The fire disproportionately impacted a population of older adults, many of whom were displaced from their homes and are now beginning the process of recovery and rebuilding. Today’s actions to waive fees will assist property owners impacted by the Coches Fire by formally declaring the damaged area eligible for plan check, debris disposal, and permit fee waivers. Fee relief will apply to legal structures that were destroyed or damaged, as well as to unpermitted improvements that may be legally rebuilt. This includes septic systems and water wells that may have been damaged. Further, the actions will reduce costs for disposing of fire 8TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2025

debris and will waive Assessor/Recorder/County Clerk’s fees for the issuance of vital records such as birth certificates, death certificates, and marriage certificates and reproduction of property-related or business documents. RECOMMENDATION(S) SUPERVISOR JOEL ANDERSON 1. Waive Board Policy B-29, Fees, Grants and Revenue Contracts, Department Responsibility for Full Cost Recovery to waive the plan check review and permit fees related to the rebuilding of legal structures of like size and location, including septic systems and water wells, in the unincorporated area that were damaged or destroyed by the September 2025 Coches Fire. Fee waivers would also apply to structures being rebuilt that were damaged or destroyed that may not have been permitted but can be legally rebuilt with permits. 2. Waive Board Policy B-29, Fees, Grants and Revenue Contracts, Department Responsibility for Full Cost Recovery to waive the Department of Public Works Solid Waste Management Agreement fee and Solid Waste Planning fee for disposing of fire debris from the September 2025 Coches Fire. 3. Waive Board Policy B-29, Fees, Grants and Revenue Contracts, Department Responsibility for Full Cost Recovery and grant the Assessor/Recorder/County Clerk's Office the authority to issue copies of vital records as well as replacement deeds and other property-related or business documents at no cost for those impacted by the September 2025 Coches Fire. 4. Waive the Assessor/Recorder/County Clerk's portion of fees collected pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 103625 for fees collected for vital records, and grant the Assessor/Recorder/County Clerk's Office the authority to issue replacements of these documents free of charge for local residents who have lost their documents as a result of the September 2025 Coches Fire. 5. Adopt a resolution entitled "A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO BOARD OF SUPERVISORS DECLARING THE REBUILDING OF LEGAL STRUCTURES IN THE UNINCORPORATED AREA THAT WERE DAMAGED OR DESTROYED IN THE SEPTEMBER 2025 COCHES FIRE TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR PLAN CHECK, DEBRIS DISPOSAL, AND PERMIT FEE WAIVERS, AND TO SUPPORT VICTIMS IN RECOVERING THEIR VITAL RECORDS, DEEDS AND OTHER PROPERTY-RELATED AND BUSINESS DOCUMENTS." EQUITY IMPACT STATEMENT Wildfires can cause lasting disruptions to individuals and families, particularly those in vulnerable and underserved communities. Many residents affected by the September 2025 Coches Fire face economic hardship and live on limited incomes. By waiving plan check review and permit fees for rebuilding homes, debris disposal fees, as well as fees for the replacement of vital records such as birth, death, and marriage certificates, and property-related and business 9TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2025

documents, today’s action directly supports equitable recovery. These measures remove financial barriers that could otherwise delay or prevent families from restoring stable housing and recovering essential documentation, thereby reducing the risk of displacement and further hardship. Collectively, these fee waivers are a critical step in ensuring that all impacted residents have an opportunity to rebuild their lives and remain in their communities. SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT STATEMENT Today’s proposed actions support the County of San Diego’s Sustainability Goals by encouraging responsible rebuilding of structures and infrastructure. By removing financial barriers for replacement of documents and safe home reconstruction, the actions promote equitable access to essential government services for vulnerable populations. These measures help strengthen resilient, sustainable communities by accelerating recovery, minimizing long-term economic and environmental impacts for those affected by the September 2025 Coches Fire. FISCAL IMPACT Funds for the actions requested in Recommendation 1 are included in the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Operational Plan. If approved, the waiver of plan check and permit fees associated with rebuilding damaged and destroyed homes is anticipated to be funded by existing wildfire fee waiver funding to offset costs and revenue losses, the amount of which is unknown at this time. The funding source is existing one-time General Fund fund balance in Planning & Development Services and Department of Environmental Health and Quality. There will be no additional staff years. Funds for the actions requested in Recommendation 2 are included in the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Operational Plan. If approved, the waiver of debris disposal fees associated with damaged and destroyed homes is anticipated to be covered by existing funds in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Operational Plan for the Department of Public Works. The funding source will be existing General Purpose Revenue. There will be no increase in net General Fund cost and no additional staff years. Funds for the actions requested in Recommendation 3 and 4 are included in the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Operational Plan. If approved, the waiver of Assessor/Recorder/County Clerk fees for vital records and property-related documents will reduce revenues by an unknown amount at this time. Statutory fees for birth, death, and marriage certificates remitted to the State will be covered by existing funds in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Operational Plan for the Assessor/Recorder/County Clerk. The funding source will be existing General Purpose Revenue. There will be no change in net General Fund cost and no additional staff years. There is no fiscal impact associated with Recommendation 5. There will be no change in net General Fund cost and no additional staff years.

Currently, the BSCC is administering $30.6 million in federal funding through the JAG Equipment and Training Program, a one-time funding opportunity for counties through a formula-based, non-competitive grant process. San Diego County has been allocated $2,578,468 for the grant period of October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. The JAG Equipment and Training Program funds equipment, supplies, and training initiatives related to specific JAG Program Purpose Areas (PPA) and priority areas of need, which include law enforcement programs related to violent crime reduction, drug enforcement and pre-arrest interventions to treatment, prosecution and court programs focused on violent crime prosecution and innovative indigent defense, and prevention and education programs for “at promise” youth. Through this grant, the Public Safety Executive Office would serve as the County’s lead agency for the grant and would work with County public safety departments and offices to fund a variety of one-time needs, including crime lab and drug detection and investigation enhancements in the Sheriff’s Office, vehicles to support youth vocational programs in the Probation Department, investigative technology in the Department of the Public Defender, training to support victim-centered services related to crisis intervention in the District Attorney’s Office, and to purchase furniture and technology to enhance engagement and connections to treatment at the Recovery and Bridge Center in the Public Safety Executive Office’s Community Safety Office. Today’s request seeks to ratify the application for the BSCC JAG program, authorize the Public Safety Group Deputy Chief Administrative Officer to accept one-time grant funding in the amount of $2,578,468 from the BSCC JAG Program to fund training and purchase of equipment and supplies, adopt a Resolution to authorize JAG Program agreements with the BSCC, and 11TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2025

establish appropriations of $2,486,290 in FY 2025-26. This is also a request to authorize the Public Safety Group Deputy Chief Administrative Officer to sign all required or related grant documents in subsequent years, provided there are no material changes to the grant terms and funding levels. A waiver of Board Policy B-29, Fees, Grants, Revenue Contracts - which requires prior approval of grant applications and full cost recovery, is requested as this funding request was not received by the Board of Supervisors at least fifteen days in advance of the date on which the grant request was submitted, and the proposed grant funding allocations would not fully recover indirect program costs. Additionally, today’s request would authorize the Department of Purchasing and Contracting to conduct single source procurements of specialized equipment and programming in the Sheriff’s Office Regional Crime Laboratory and Narcotics Task Force. Authority for single source procurement of these items, goods and services from specific manufacturers and vendors is requested due to the need of unique capability, standardization, or continuity. RECOMMENDATION(S) CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER 1. Ratify the submission of the California Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) 2025 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant and Training Program grant application, submitted to BSCC on September 8, 2025. 2.

This request includes a waiver of Board Policy B-29, Fees, Grants, and Revenue Contracts-Department Responsibility for Cost Recovery, which requires prior approval of grant applications and full cost recovery. The grant revenue recovers all direct costs but does not recover all costs associated with administrative overhead and support estimated at $374,360. The funding source is existing General Purpose Revenue in the Sheriff’s Office, District Attorney’s Office, Public Defender, Probation, and the Public Safey Executive Office. There will be no change in net General Fund cost and no additional staff years. BUSINESS IMPACT STATEMENT N/A ACTION: ON MOTION of Supervisor Montgomery Steppe, seconded by Supervisor Aguirre, the Board of Supervisors took action as recommended, on Consent, adopting Resolution No. 25-107 entitled: A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO RELATING TO THE AUTHORIZATION OF AN APPLICATION FOR, AND ACCEPTANCE OF, THE FUNDING AWARD BY THE CALIFORNIA BOARD OF STATE AND COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS 2025 EDWARD BYRNE MEMORIAL JUSTICE ASSISTANCE GRANT EQUIPMENT AND TRAINING PROGRAM. Aguirre, Anderson, Lawson-Remer, Montgomery Steppe, DesmondAYES: 7. ADOPT AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTIONS 340, 340.9, AND 340.15 OF THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY CODE OF ADMINISTRATIVE ORDINANCES PERTAINING TO THE DUTIES AND JURISDICTION OF THE CITIZENS LAW ENFORCEMENT REVIEW BOARD (September 9, 2025- First Reading; September 30, 2025 - Second Reading unless ordinance is modified on second reading) (DISTRICTS: ALL) SUBJECT: OVERVIEW 14TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2025

On December 10, 2024 (35), the San Diego County Board of Supervisors (Board) directed the amendment of the County of San Diego (County) laws governing the Citizens Law Enforcement Review Board (CLERB) to expand CLERB’s jurisdiction related to in-custody death investigations and increase its effectiveness as well as analyze staffing and resources needed if jurisdiction was expanded, identify other oversight boards with expanded jurisdictions, engage in the meet-and-confer process with the affected labor unions, and ultimately returning to the Board with a final proposed amended ordinance and final proposed rules and regulations as approved by CLERB. On August 7, 2025, the CLERB approved changes to their Rules and Regulations. The changes adopted provides additional jurisdiction to investigate the death of any individual which arises out of or in connection with the actions of any peace officer, custodial officer, employee or contractor, including any Health Care Provider of the Sheriff’s Office or Probation while the individual was in custody of the Sheriff or Probation. The additional jurisdiction also includes the authority to investigate the death of any individual that occurs within six months of that individuals release from custody pursuant to “compassionate release.” Today’s item requests the Board to consider the introduction of an ordinance related to the expansion of CLERB’s jurisdiction over in-custody death investigations to include Sheriff and Probation employees and contractors, such as Health Care Providers. If the Board acts as recommended, then on September 30, 2025, the Board is requested to adopt the ordinance (second reading) and take related actions. If the proposed ordinance is altered on September 30, 2025, then on that date, a subsequent meeting date will be selected for the ordinance’s adoption. RECOMMENDATION(S) CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER 1. Consider and adopt the Ordinance: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTIONS 340, 340.9, AND 340.15 OF THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY CODE OF ADMINISTRATIVE ORDINANCES PERTAINING TO THE DUTIES AND JURISDICTION OF THE CITIZENS LAW ENFORCEMENT REVIEW BOARD 2. Pursuant to subparagraph (b) of section 340.7 of the San Diego Code of Administrative Ordinances, consider the approval of the August 7, 2025, amendments to the Citizens Law Enforcement Review Board’s rules and regulations. 3. If the Board acts on Recommendations #1 and #2 above: a. Consider the approval of the request to add 2.00 staff years to support the Citizens Law Enforcement Review Board and direct the Department of Human Resources to classify the positions at the appropriate level. b. Transfer appropriations of $417,260 from County Counsel, Services & Supplies, to Citizens Law Enforcement Review Board, Salaries & Benefits ($217,260) and Services & Supplies ($200,000) for the purpose of funding two full-time positions and consultant services based on General Purpose Revenue. EQUITY IMPACT STATEMENT The requested action supports the County’s Strategic Initiatives, and its vision for a San Diego that is promoting Health, Community and Justice, by protecting San Diegans, especially those 15TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2025

disproportionately at risk of law enforcement and detention facility health care providers interaction, which increase transparency and accessibility in civilian law enforcement oversight and fostering better relationships between law enforcement and the communities they serve. SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT STATEMENT The proposed action supports the County of San Diego’s Sustainability Goal #2 of providing just and equitable access to County services, by using data-driven and analytical analysis of detention and medical services policies and procedures to not only protect the health and well-being of our incarcerated community, but to protect the economic sustainability of the County. FISCAL IMPACT If CLERB jurisdiction is amended, CLERB anticipates the need for two staff years along with contracted services totaling $489,680 annually. Based on implementation in October 2025, an estimated $417,260 in expenditures would result in Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26. To fund these requests beginning in October 2025, $417,260 in General Purpose Revenue is proposed to be reallocated from County Counsel in FY 2025-26. This reallocation will impact timing for projects, within County Counsel, particularly one-time projects such as information technology. For FY 2025-26 actions, there will be no net General Fund cost increase; there will be an increase in two staff years. Depending on caseload, an additional two staff years may be required to fully implement the change in CLERB jurisdiction beginning in FY 2026-27, for a total of four additional staff years. With the two additional staff years along with contracted services, the total annual cost beginning in FY 2026-27 is estimated to be $817,537 and would need to be considered in the development of the Operational Plan, pending availability of funding. There may be future fiscal impacts based on additional need for administrative support for the Probation Department and the Sheriff’s Office. Staff will monitor the need for additional resources based on today’s actions. The Chief Administrative Officer will continue to collaborate with the Sheriff’s Office and Probation Department through the Five-Year Financial Forecast process to determine exact financial impact and availability of funding, and will return to the Board with determined fiscal impacts and related recommendations for consideration and approval by the Board. BUSINESS IMPACT STATEMENT N/A ACTION: ON MOTION of Supervisor Montgomery Steppe, seconded by Supervisor Aguirre, the Board of Supervisors took action as recommended, on Consent, adopting Ordinance No. 10956 (N.S), entitled: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTIONS 340, 340.9, AND 340.15 OF THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY CODE OF ADMINISTRATIVE ORDINANCES PERTAINING TO THE DUTIES AND JURISDICTION OF THE CITIZENS LAW ENFORCEMENT REVIEW BOARD.

1. PURSUING A CERTIFIED AGE-FRIENDLY EMPLOYER DESIGNATION FOR THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO (DISTRICTS: ALL) SUBJECT: OVERVIEW In 2022, there were more than 1.1 million adults aged 50 and older living in San Diego County, representing over one-third (33.6%) of the total population. By 2029, this number is projected to grow to more than 1.2 million.1 As our region continues to age, the County of San Diego (County) has an opportunity to advance efforts that ensure its workforce reflects the population it serves. The Age-Friendly Institute is a national organization dedicated to elevating the voices of older adults and supporting organizations in improving their workplace cultures, products, and services. Its Certified Age-Friendly Employer (CAFE) program is the leading designation for employers committed to being among the best places to work for individuals aged 50 and older. Since its inception, hundreds of companies and organizations across sectors have earned this distinction. The County has long prioritized investing in an empowered workforce and advancing operational excellence. Adults aged 50 and over currently serve in a wide variety of roles across the County, from public safety and health services to administrative and technical roles, ensuring continuity, stability, and high-quality public service. With an increasingly aging population, the County has an opportunity to demonstrate leadership by ensuring its workforce reflects the residents it serves. By employing and retaining adults aged 50 and older, the County not only benefits from their depth of experience, institutional knowledge, and mentorship capacity, but also builds trust and strengthens its connection with the community. Pursuing Age-Friendly Employer designation represents a natural next step in further advancing the County’s commitment to equity, inclusion, and a workforce that reflects San Diego County residents. Today’s item requests the Chief Administrative Officer pursue a Certified Age-Friendly Employer designation for the County. RECOMMENDATION(S) VICE-CHAIR MONICA MONTGOMERY STEPPE Direct the Chief Administrative Officer to pursue a Certified Age-Friendly Employer designation for the County of San Diego, ensuring our workplace honors the invaluable contributions of older adults and models the inclusivity and diversity of the communities we serve. EQUITY IMPACT STATEMENT By pursuing Certified Age-Friendly Employer (CAFE) designation, the County of San Diego (County) furthers its foundational commitments to equity, inclusion, and representative governance. This initiative builds upon the County’s membership in the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities, which affirms its dedication to livable, inclusive environments for Tuesday, September 30, 2025 1

older adults, and the Aging Roadmap, the region’s guiding plan for policies and programs that support older adults equitably. Within the Aging Roadmap, the priority area known as the Silver Economy highlights the importance of equity and inclusion by ensuring that older adults are valued as part of a representative and inclusive workforce. By intentionally valuing and retaining employees aged 50 and over, the County enhances its connection with a demographic that now comprises over a third of its residents and is projected to continue growing. This designation elevates equitable workforce representation and ensures that older adults are recognized not only as residents but as integral contributors to public service. In alignment with the County’s broader Live Well San Diego vision and its Strategic Plan commitment to Equity (Health), the CAFE designation represents the next step in applying an age-inclusive equity lens across County employment practices. SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT STATEMENT Pursuing Certified Age-Friendly Employer designation supports the County of San Diego’s (County) long-term sustainability by fostering a stable, experienced, and engaged workforce. By valuing and retaining employees aged 50 and older, the County benefits from institutional knowledge, mentorship capacity, and workforce continuity, which contribute to operational resilience and reduced turnover. This initiative aligns with the County’s broader sustainability goals by promoting practices that strengthen the social and organizational foundations necessary for delivering high-quality, sustainable public services to the community. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with today’s recommendation. The actions requested in this item can be implemented using existing appropriations within the Health and Human Services Agency. There will be no change in net general fund costs and no additional staff years. BUSINESS IMPACT STATEMENT If approved, these recommendations are expected to have a positive impact on the business community. The Age-Friendly Institute reports that employers displaying the “Age-Friendly” seal on their job postings experience an increase in applicant interest compared to employers without the designation. By pursuing Certified Age-Friendly Employer status, the County of San Diego can model inclusive employment practices that strengthen its workforce while encouraging similar approaches across the region’s business community. 2. RECEIVE UPDATE ON THE AGING ROADMAP SAN DIEGO COUNTY REGIONAL PLAN 2024-25 ANNUAL REPORT (DISTRICTS: ALL) SUBJECT: OVERVIEW According to population estimates from San Diego Association of Governments, of the nearly 3.3 million people currently residing in San Diego County, approximately 710,000 are adults aged 60 years and older. By 2029, the number of adults aged 60 years and older who reside in the county is expected to increase to more than 824,500. Therefore, it is essential that the County of San Diego (County) has a plan to support the unique needs of older adults and empower them to live healthy, safe, and thriving lives. Initiated at the direction of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors on September 24, 2019 (4), the Aging Roadmap is the County plan to ensure that Tuesday, September 30, 2025 2

the region has programs and communities that equitably support the needs of older adults. The Aging Roadmap is organized by ten priority areas that collectively represent the County’s comprehensive system of care, including person-centered and community-wide approaches: Health & Community Support; Housing; Social Participation; Transportation; Dementia; Caregiver Support; Safety; Preparedness; Silver Economy; and Medical & Social Services System. The Aging Roadmap annual report highlights significant accomplishments across each of the ten priority areas as well as age-friendly efforts across the county. The region must continue to work collaboratively and proactively to strengthen the comprehensive system of care to better support older adults, their families, and people of all ages. Today’s action requests the Board receive the Aging Roadmap San Diego County Regional Plan 2024-25 Annual Report. This item supports the County vision of a just, sustainable, and resilient future for all, specifically those communities and populations in San Diego County that have been historically left behind, as well as our ongoing commitment to the regional Live Well San Diego vision of healthy, safe, and thriving communities. This will be accomplished by continuing to support older adults and persons with disabilities through various programs and initiatives and ensuring a community that is livable for people of all ages. RECOMMENDATION(S) CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER Receive update on the Aging Roadmap. EQUITY IMPACT STATEMENT Recognizing the increasing diversity of San Diego County’s population, the Aging Roadmap represents a commitment to ensuring that all residents can age well while accessing needed services, regardless of their race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender identity, and/or sexual orientation. Principles of equity and diverse community engagement have guided the development of Aging Roadmap priorities since its inception. Implementation of programs and initiatives within each of the priority areas are informed by the needs expressed by community members and stakeholders. Through regular convening of diverse community coalitions and collaboration with community-based organizations, the County of San Diego (County) has worked to ensure that programs are implemented with continuous input from those they intend to serve. Throughout this past fiscal year, community partnerships and cross-departmental collaboration have facilitated innovative approaches to increased program accessibility. Community partnerships have been instrumental in the success of programs for at-risk populations such as non-English speaking residents, homebound older adults, and rural communities. For example, transit trainings were held with diverse community members participating in the CalFresh Healthy Living program about the use of public transportation to access community resources. Partnerships with community-based organizations serving rural parts of the county were strengthened through frequent communication and resident-led planning. For example, the use of livestream technology helped to facilitate the implementation of new programming in Campo, a community with limited access to services due to its rural location. Additionally, the Tuesday, September 30, 2025 3

Dementia-Friends initiative continues to educate various sectors of the community on how to be inclusive of those living with dementia and cultivate a sense of belonging for them and their families. The County continues to engage partners and community members in discussions to inform future initiatives and program planning. Likewise, providing input opportunities for diverse and often under-represented groups remains a priority. SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT STATEMENT Receiving today’s update supports the County of San Diego’s (County) Sustainability Goal #1 to engage the community in meaningful ways; Sustainability Goal #2 to provide just and equitable access to County services, and Sustainability Goal #4 to promote health and well-being. The Aging Roadmap represents the County’s comprehensive system of care for older adults, and it was informed by input from impacted stakeholders with diverse perspectives. The Aging Roadmap prioritizes equitable access to both person-centered and community-wide programs and services that aim to improve the quality of life and overall well-being of older adults. Furthermore, the Aging Roadmap advances the County’s sustainability goals by raising awareness on transportation programs and resources that enable older adults to access community resources; implementing programs that improve physical and social health; highlighting education efforts to help older adults avoid scams; and increasing opportunities for older adults to live in safe and affordable housing. The Aging Roadmap continues to underscore the needs of older adults in the region’s sustainability planning and leverages impactful partnerships to improve and expand services that enable older adults to live healthy, safe, and thriving lives.

RECEIVE UPDATE ON ACTIONS TO ADDRESS THE TIJUANA RIVER SEWAGE (DISTRICTS: ALL) SUBJECT: OVERVIEW The Tijuana River Valley (TJRV) and surrounding South Bay communities continue to suffer from impacts from untreated sewage, urban runoff and toxic gases in the air, resulting in recurring contamination of ocean waters and nearby neighborhoods. This crisis has a particular impact on the well-being of residents, the environment, and the economy of the cities and unincorporated communities of Imperial Beach, Chula Vista, National City, San Diego, Bonita, East Otay Mesa, and Coronado. Under the leadership of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors (Board), the County of San Diego (County), in partnership with stakeholders across the region, as well as at State and federal levels, are collaborating on innovative strategies to address this crisis. Recognizing the significant impacts to the environment, economy, and property within San Diego County caused by persistent cross-border sewage contamination and sewage-impacted ocean waters, the Board Tuesday, September 30, 2025 4

first issued a Proclamation of Emergency on June 27, 2023 (16). The Board has since continued the local emergency every 60 days, with the most recent action on September 10, 2025 (1). On June 24, 2025 (10), the Board adopted a five point plan that directed the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) to evaluate a set of programmatic options, identify priorities based on core County functions and potential public health impact, and return on September 30, 2025, with strategic recommendations and an implementation roadmap. Subsequent to the June action, on September 9, 2025 (17), the Board additionally directed the CAO to implement an epidemiological public health impact study in affected communities and an economic impact study to assess the full scope of losses caused by the sewage crisis, including impacts on small businesses, property values, and regional tourism, to better inform future funding and mitigation efforts. In addition, on September 9, 2025 (18) the Board adopted a resolution requesting that the State Water Resources Control Board allocate Proposition 4 cross-border rivers funding to projects focused on addressing the ongoing environmental and public health crises in TJRV. Today’s item requests the Board receive the directed update on ongoing efforts to strengthen the County’s response to the Tijuana River sewage crisis through strategic recommendations outlined as part of this action. A roadmap for implementation will be further refined through the Ad Hoc Subcommittee. RECOMMENDATION(S) CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER 1. Receive this update on ongoing efforts to strengthen the County’s response to the Tijuana River sewage crisis. EQUITY IMPACT STATEMENT The Tijuana River sewage crisis disproportionately affects residents in South Bay communities, including Imperial Beach, Chula Vista, National City, Bonita, and East Otay Mesa. According to the Assessment of Chemical Exposures survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry in November 2024, nearly 65 percent of surveyed South Bay households reported physical health symptoms and a decline in quality of life linked to sewage contamination from the Tijuana River Valley. This underscores stark disparities in environmental health impacts within the region. These areas include neighborhoods with higher proportions of low-income households, and vulnerable populations who are more likely to experience adverse health effects from environmental contamination. Various actions discussed as part of today’s update are designed to prioritize interventions where health risks are highest. By focusing resources on these communities and improving access to health and environmental protections, the County of San Diego is committed to addressing the root causes of this crisis, reducing disparities in exposure, enhance public health outcomes, and promote equitable access to safe environments for all residents. SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT STATEMENT Today’s proposed action supports the County of San Diego (County) Sustainability Goal #4 to protect the health and well-being of everyone in the region; Sustainability Goal #5 to protect Tuesday, September 30, 2025 5

water in all forms; and Sustainability Goal #6 to develop natural and organic land management policies that protect ecosystems, habitats, biodiversity, and soil health throughout the county while providing opportunities for all residents to access and enjoy the outdoors. These objectives will be advanced through coordinated efforts with local, State, and federal partners, with a focus on addressing the root causes, as well as ongoing impacts of the Tijuana River Valley sewage crisis on nearby communities. The proposed measures emphasize safeguarding public health, improving environmental conditions, and conserving natural resources so that current and future residents, as well
