1. CONTINUED ADVOCACY FOR THE REMOVAL AND RELOCATION OF SPENT NUCLEAR FUEL FROM THE SAN ONOFRE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION (SONGS) (DISTRICTS: ALL) SUBJECT: OVERVIEW The San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) operated in the northwest corner of San Diego County for more than 47 years. The station ceased all nuclear operations in June 2013 after excessive vibrations and other issues degraded tubes in the steam generators. Stored on the site today is 1,400 metric tons of spent nuclear fuel, a direct byproduct of 45 years of nuclear power operations. SONGS is currently in year five of an eight-year dismantling process of facilities and equipment at the site. At this time, the federal government has not provided a permanent repository for spent nuclear fuel that could accept SONGS’ spent fuel. Because of this, Southern California Edison (SCE) must continue to store the nuclear waste onsite, in dry cask storage, indefinitely. The spent fuel must be relocated offsite for the SONGS site to be fully restored and for the land to be returned to the U.S. Navy to support the national security mission of training Marines. It’s important to note that an emerging “nuclear renaissance” is bringing helpful attention to spent fuel. Artificial intelligence and data centers require an exponential growth in electricity generation and next-generation small modular reactors (SMRs) can help address this growing demand for power. The prospect of reprocessing spent nuclear fuel in the U.S. for use in advanced reactors is at the research and development phase. A May 23, 2025, presidential executive order (EO) stated, “Swift and decisive action is required to jumpstart America’s nuclear energy industrial base.” The EO calls on the Secretary of Energy to submit a plan by January 2026 for “transferring spent nuclear fuel from reactors to a government-owned, privately operated reprocessing…facility” and “the efficient disposal of the wastes generated by recycling or reprocessing through a permanent disposal pathway.” Now is a vital time to continue advocating for solutions through Spent Fuel Solutions. The Spent Fuel Solutions coalition is led by an executive board that includes the plant owners and representatives of surrounding local governments. More specifically, this decision-making body is composed of Southern California Edison, San Diego Gas & Electric, City of Riverside, the County of Orange, and the County of San Diego (County). Moving San Onofre’s spent nuclear fuel offsite is a shared priority for local communities and SONGS’ co-owners. The executive board currently sets goals and directs efforts to advocate for the removal of spent fuel from SONGS to a federally licensed facility. Today’s item provides an update on the current status of SONGS, including continued participation in the Spent Fuel Solutions coalition. In addition, this item will approve a resolution in which the coalition will advocate for the continued removal and relocation of spent nuclear fuel from the San Diego region and would also authorize the Director of the Department of Purchasing and Contracting (DPC) to enter into single source negotiations with Southwest Strategies to procure management services that continue to support the work of the coalition. RECOMMENDATION(S) SUPERVISOR JIM DESMOND 1TUESDAY, AUGUST 26, 2025

1. Adopt a resolution entitled: “A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO AUTHORIZING CONTINUED PARTICIPATION IN THE SPENT FUEL SOLUTIONS COALITION”, which is a coalition of regional partners who seek to advocate for the removal and relocation of spent nuclear fuel from the San Diego County region. 2. In accordance with Board Policy A-87, Competitive Procurement, approve and authorize the Director, Department of Purchasing and Contracting to enter into negotiations with Southwest Strategies, LLC; and, subject to successful negotiations and determination of a fair and reasonable price, award a contract for management of the Spent Fuel Solutions coalition with an objective to secure a federally licensed storage or disposal solution for the spent fuel at SONGS for one year beginning October 1, 2025 and ending September 30, 2026 with four option years to extend, and to amend the contract as needed to reflect changes to services and funding. EQUITY IMPACT STATEMENT The County recognizes the potential health and psychological impacts the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) site may have on the community, especially in its current condition. Today’s item will continue in our effort to pursue legislation, appropriations, and collaboration-based siting for spent fuel storage/disposal facilities and securing a federally licensed storage or disposal solution for the spent fuel, with the aim of alleviating community impacts. SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT STATEMENT Today’s item contributes to the County’s Sustainability goals by advocating for the removal of hazardous materials to protect the health and wellbeing of the environment, existing and future residents, visitors and tourists. FISCAL IMPACT One-time funds for this request, estimated at $100,000, are included in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Operational Plan in the Office of Emergency Services (OES). The funding source is existing General Purpose Revenue. 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 Anderson, seconded by Supervisor Aguirre, the Board of Supervisors took action as recommended, on Consent, and adopted Resolution No. 25-080 entitled: A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO AUTHORIZING CONTINUED PARTICIPATION IN THE SPENT FUEL SOLUTIONS COALITION.

2. SHERIFF - APPROVAL OF SHERIFF'S STAFF OUT OF COUNTRY TRAVEL FOR GLOBAL LARGE-SCALE EVENTS TRAINING BY POLICE SCOTLAND (DISTRICTS: ALL) SUBJECT: OVERVIEW In accordance with Board of Supervisors Policy D-7, Out-of-County Business and Related Guidelines and Processes and Administrative Code section 470, this is a request to approve out of County travel for staff from San Diego County Sheriff's Office (Sheriff's Office) to attend training hosted by Police Scotland’s International Academy. The Sheriff was invited to send staff to participate in the 5-day training program on preparing for major events. Today’s request is for the San Diego County Board of Supervisors to approve staff from the Sheriff’s Emergency Planning Detail travel to the United Kingdom to attend this training scheduled for August 26-31, 2025. RECOMMENDATION SHERIFF 1. Per Administrative Code 470, approve the Captain and Sergeant of the Sheriff’s Emergency Planning Detail travel to the United Kingdom for participation in a training on preparing for major events scheduled for August 26-31, 2025. EQUITY IMPACT STATEMENT The San Diego County Sheriff's Office (Sheriff's Office) mission is to provide the highest quality public safety services to everyone in San Diego County. As the mutual aid coordinator for the region, the Sheriff's Office Emergency Planning Detail is the unit responsible for the logistics and planning of public safety resource deployment as part of our emergency response and large-scale event planning. By participating in high-level executive training with jurisdictions from around the world, the Sheriff’s Office has opportunities to discuss and learn about global best practices, which enhances the Sheriff's Office’s perspective in approaching issues and developing policies for the betterment of the communities served. Training participants include leaders from various large law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, federal law enforcement partners, military criminal investigative branches, and international police departments. SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT STATEMENT Today's action contributes to the County of San Diego's Sustainability Goal of engaging the community in meaningful ways to foster inclusive and sustainable communities. The event and security planning for major events involves community engagement, input, and partnership. Additionally, engaging in this program provides leaders a cross-cultural opportunity as participants will be from police leadership from across the globe. FISCAL IMPACT Funds for this request are included in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Operational Plan for the Sheriff's Office. If approved, all associated travel, estimated at $2,400 per traveler for a total cost of $4,800, will be funded by existing General Purpose Revenue within the Sheriff’s Office. It is anticipated that the Sheriff’s Office will be receiving a donation from the Honorary Deputy Sheriff's Association (HDSA) to reimburse the Sheriff’s Office for the total travel expense. Per County of San Diego Administrative Code Article III, Section 66 Acceptance of Gifts and Board of Supervisors Policy A-112, Acceptance and Use of Gifts and Donations, the Sheriff’s Office will bring to the Board the request to accept this donation and others in the annual HDSA letter for Fiscal Year 2025-26. There will be no change in net General Fund cost and no additional staff 3TUESDAY, AUGUST 26, 2025

years. Sheriff's staff will receive regular salary and benefits, and no overtime will be incurred as a result of this trip. BUSINESS IMPACT STATEMENT N/A ACTION: ON MOTION of Supervisor Anderson, seconded by Supervisor Aguirre, the Board of Supervisors took action as recommended, on Consent. Aguirre, Anderson, Lawson-Remer, Montgomery Steppe, DesmondAYES: 3. SHERIFF - REQUEST TO APPROVE AND AUTHORIZE A REVENUE AGREEMENT WITH THE COMMISSION ON PEACE OFFICER STANDARDS AND TRAINING FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLE OPERATIONS COURSE TRAINING SERVICES (DISTRICTS: ALL) SUBJECT: OVERVIEW In California, the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) is crucial for maintaining high standards in law enforcement. POST establishes selection and training standards for peace officers, ensuring they are equipped with the necessary skills, knowledge, ethics, and attitudes to serve their communities effectively. This includes developing and updating job-related selection standards, providing access to relevant training, and fostering healthy organizational environments through leadership development programs. The San Diego Sheriff's Office (SDSO), on behalf of POST, will start providing driver training for regional law enforcement at its Emergency Vehicle Operations Center (EVOC). The EVOC in East Otay Mesa gives SDSO and other regional law enforcement agencies a dedicated facility in San Diego County to provide driver training to recruits and required biennial in-service driver training for existing peace officers. To take over EVOC training, SDSO must enter into a POST Driver Training contract for the period of July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2027. This contract was previously held by the San Diego Police Department, and both agencies agreed to rotate this responsibility every two years. POST reimburses the core agency for the training of peace officers. Today's action requests the Board to approve and authorize the Clerk of the Board to execute, upon receipt, a revenue agreement between the County of San Diego through the Sheriff's Office, and Commission on POST, for Emergency Vehicle Operations Course Training Services for the period of July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2027. It also requests the waiver of Board Policy B-29, Fees, Grants, and Revenue Contracts Department Responsibility for Cost Recovery which requires prior approval of the submission of grants and revenue applications requirement of docketing Revenue Contracts with the Board at least 60 days prior to effective date of the contract. Negotiations between SDSO and POST were not concluded in time to meet the 60-day requirement. RECOMMENDATIONS SHERIFF 1. Approve and authorize the Clerk of the Board to execute and ratify, upon receipt, the revenue agreement between the County of San Diego, through the Sheriff's Office, and the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training for Emergency Vehicle 4TUESDAY, AUGUST 26, 2025

Operations Course Training Services for the period July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2027. 2. Authorize the Sheriff, or designee, to execute all required contract documents, including mid-year service level changes, extensions, amendments and/or revisions that do not materially impact the program or funding level. 3. Waive Board Policy B-29, Fees, Grants, Revenue Contracts - Department responsibility for Cost Recovery that requires docketing Revenue Contracts with the Board at least 60 days prior to effective date of the contract. EQUITY IMPACT STATEMENT Placing knowledgeable instructors at the Emergency Vehicle Operations Center (EVOC), a state-of-the-art training space, supports the County of San Diego’s equity goals. Governments have a responsibility to ensure that first responders, public safety personnel, and county personnel with driving responsibilities are provided training in emergency vehicle and specialized response vehicle operations, not only for quality delivery of public safety services, but also to limit risk and liability. Having adequate levels of driving training is imperative. Understanding concepts like threshold braking, understeer, oversteer and turn apexes is best learned in-depth and context with practical training. This will ensure that safety services which aim to protect human life and the security of individuals in San Diego communities, continue to be delivered with increased driving expertise and safety. SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT STATEMENT The Emergency Vehicle Operations Center (EVOC) provides the necessary space and terrain required for the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) Training in terms of driving ability, and defensive driving expertise which is crucial for law enforcement officers. Driving is one of the main activities that law enforcement officers do while providing policing for our communities. Taking over the contract with POST allows for the cost recovery of expenses to maintain, operate, and manage the course, most of which have been paid for by the Sheriff's Office since EVOC was opened. The upkeep of EVOC operations is critical for public safety and first responder agencies, so that they can train personnel in emergency vehicle operations. FISCAL IMPACT Funds for this request are not included in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Operational Plan for the Sheriff's Office. If approved, this request will result in current year costs and revenue up to $540,000 to offset facility maintenance and operational costs. Facility maintenance, operational, and equipment costs for the second year of the contract are estimated at $540,000 and will be included in the Fiscal Years 2026-27 Operational Plan for the Sheriff’s Office. The funding source is revenue from Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training. There will be no change in net General Fund cost and no increase in staff years. BUSINESS IMPACT STATEMENT N/A 5TUESDAY, AUGUST 26, 2025

ACTION: ON MOTION of Supervisor Anderson, seconded by Supervisor Aguirre, the Board of Supervisors took action as recommended, on Consent. Aguirre, Anderson, Lawson-Remer, Montgomery Steppe, DesmondAYES: 4. AUTHORIZE COMPETITIVE SOLICITATIONS FOR COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY, COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT TEAMS AND JUVENILE DIVERSION, RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT PROGRAMS, AND HOUSING AND RESOURCE NAVIGATION SERVICES (DISTRICTS: ALL) SUBJECT: OVERVIEW The San Diego County Probation Department (Probation) provides a comprehensive array of rehabilitative and supervision programs designed to support the safety, stability, and long-term success of justice-involved youth, at-promise youth (previously referred to as “at-risk youth”), and adults supervised by Probation throughout the County. These services are delivered through a combination of County operated programs and contracts with community-based providers. To continue offering these critical evidence-based and community-centered services, Probation is requesting the County of San Diego Board of Supervisors to authorize four competitive solicitations for (1) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, (2) Community Assessment Teams and Juvenile Diversion, (3) Residential Treatment Programs, and (4) Housing and Resource Navigation. These contracted services have been implemented and refined over the past decade, with Board approval previously granted on November 17, 2020 (5, 6) for Community Assessment Teams and Juvenile Diversion, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, March 16, 2021 (4) for Residential Treatment Programs, and October 10, 2023 (1) for Housing and Resource Navigation. Current contracts are scheduled to expire between December 31, 2025, and June 30, 2026. In Fiscal Year 2024-25, these services collectively supported over 2,000 clients, demonstrating measurable impacts on reducing recidivism, strengthening families, and promoting community stability. Through a continuum of care, clients receive targeted support: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy addresses criminal thinking and mental health challenges among justice-involved individuals; Community Assessment Teams and Juvenile Diversion Programs engage at-promise youth with prevention, early intervention, and restorative services delivered within their communities; Residential Treatment Programs provide 24/7 structured substance use treatment for adults under Probation supervision, and Housing and Resource Navigation services support clients experiencing housing instability by connecting them with community resources, career development opportunities, and social services for long-term independence. If approved, this action will support the continued delivery of these services by authorizing the Director, Department of Purchasing and Contracting, to issue Requests for Proposals and award one or more contracts with an initial term of twelve (12) months, with four (4) one year option periods, and up to an additional six (6) months, if needed.

In accordance with Section 401, Article XXIII of the County Administrative Code, authorize the Director, Department of Purchasing and Contracting, to issue a competitive solicitation for the provision of Housing and Resource Navigation services for justice-involved individuals in San Diego County, and upon successful negotiation and determination of fair and reasonable price, award contracts to one or more qualified providers for an initial term of one (1) year, with four (4) one year option periods and up to an additional six (6) months if needed, subject to the availability of funds and continued need for the services, and to amend the contracts as needed to reflect changes in services and funding, subject to the approval of the Chief Probation Officer. EQUITY IMPACT STATEMENT This action supports the County’s commitment to equity by ensuring access to high quality, culturally responsive services for justice-involved individuals and at-promise youth across San Diego County. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Community Assessment Teams and Juvenile Diversion, Residential Treatment, and Housing & Resource Navigation are designed to reduce systemic disparities by addressing the complex social, behavioral, and economic factors that contribute to justice system involvement. 7TUESDAY, AUGUST 26, 2025

SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT STATEMENT This action supports the County’s long-term goals for a healthy, safe, and thriving community. By investing in programs that help individuals overcome challenges like substance use, housing instability, and justice system involvement, the County is promoting lasting personal and community stability. By continuing to fund these programs, the County is supporting a more cost effective, compassionate, and sustainable approach to public safety and community well-being. FISCAL IMPACT Funds for this request are included in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Operational Plan for the Probation Department. If approved, this request will result in costs and revenue of up to $700,000 in Fiscal Year 2025-26. The funding sources are 2011 Realignment ($305,000), Pretrial Release Program ($322,350), and General Purpose Revenue ($69,350).

The office provides advisory and litigation support to the Board of Supervisors, County departments, County officers, boards, and commissions. The office also represents the County in juvenile dependency matters and administers public liability claims.

To more proportionally serve the community, Anza-Borrego Foundation has agreed to purchase the land from the County as part of an ongoing effort to acquire real property and interests in real property which are located within the boundary of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park to preserve it as open space for generations to enjoy as part of the park. It is anticipated that these actions will have a positive impact on all equity-seeking groups to include Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC), women, people with disabilities, immigrants, youth and the LGBTQ community as the mission of Anza-Borrego Foundation within the California Department of Parks and Recreation is to help to preserve the state’s extraordinary biological diversity, protect its most valued natural and cultural resources, and create opportunities for high-quality outdoor recreation. SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT STATEMENT This acquisition would have a positive impact on sustainability. This is part of an ongoing effort of the Anza-Borrego Foundation to acquire real property and interests in real property which are located within the boundary of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park to preserve it as open space for generations to enjoy as part of the park. FISCAL IMPACT If approved, proceeds of $18,800.00 from the sale of seven (7) parcels to Anza-Borrego Foundation will be used to redeem the delinquent prior year and current year taxes, costs and fees.

BUSINESS IMPACT STATEMENT N/A ACTION: ON MOTION of Supervisor Anderson, seconded by Supervisor Aguirre, the Board of Supervisors took action as recommended, on Consent, and adopted Resolution No. 25-084 entitled: A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO CONCERNING THE PROPOSED CHAPTER VIII AGREEMENT SALE NO. 7101 OF TAX DEFAULTED PROPERTY TO THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO, DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION. Aguirre, Anderson, Lawson-Remer, Montgomery Steppe, DesmondAYES: 10. NEW TAX EQUITY AND FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY ACT OF 1982 (TEFRA) PROCESS FOR THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO (DISTRICTS: ALL) SUBJECT: OVERVIEW County staff have conducted a comprehensive review of the administrative process under the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 (TEFRA), with the objective of streamlining operations and aligning with standard practice. On April 29, 2025, County staff convened a meeting with several Joint Powers Authorities (JPAs) to discuss the current TEFRA process. The discussion focused on opportunities to enhance efficiency and implement scheduling improvements. Under the existing process, TEFRA hearing requests are submitted to the County by a JPA, as a governmental bond issuer, throughout the year. Upon staff review, a Board Letter is docketed, and the item is presented as part of the discussion calendar at a Board meeting in order to hold a public hearing and document the County’s approval, as required by TEFRA and issuer guidelines. 16TUESDAY, AUGUST 26, 2025

To improve efficiency and better align with industry standards, County staff recommends the following modification for Board consideration: having the TEFRA public hearing administration conducted by the JPA/issuer with assistance from County staff. This recommendation is based on benchmarking with other jurisdictions. Since the public hearing requirement would be fulfilled, the remaining action for the Board is to adopt a resolution confirming that the TEFRA requirements have been satisfied and the issuance serves the public benefit, enabling its placement on the consent agenda. This would create flexibility in scheduling for the JPA/issuer, help to ensure adequate time for review and coordination by County staff, and give the members of the public who wish to comment on the hearing time-certainty for their public comment. Today’s action requests the Board’s approval of the proposed changes, including providing direction to the Debt Advisory Committee (DAC), under its purview to oversee any debt related items to maintain a policy for the County’s TEFRA process. RECOMMENDATION(S) CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER 1. Approve the process change for the TEFRA public hearings to be conducted by the JPA or bond issuer in a manner that interested individuals have a reasonable opportunity to express their views, such as telephonically using a toll-free number that the public may call to make public comment. County-conducted TEFRA public hearings at Board of Supervisors meetings may be permissible on a case-by-case basis with prior approval from the Chief Financial Officer. 2. Adopt a resolution establishing the new public hearing process entitled: RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO APPROVING THE CONDUCT OF PUBLIC HEARINGS PURSUANT TO SECTION 147(f) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED, IN CONNECTION WITH THE ISSUANCE OF PRIVATE ACTIVITY BONDS FOR THE FINANCING AND/OR REFINANCING OF FACILITIES LOCATED WITHIN THE TERRITORIAL JURISDICTION OF THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO AND SUCH OTHER MATTERS RELATED THERETO EQUITY IMPACT STATEMENT Streamlining the TEFRA process and aligning it with best practices from other jurisdictions will enhance public access and participation by dedicating a standalone procedure solely for the TEFRA public hearing. This change ensures that community members interested in the issue have a clear and focused opportunity to provide input, without competing for time and attention during a regular Board of Supervisors meeting with multiple agenda items. By removing potential barriers to engagement, this approach promotes greater transparency, equity, and inclusiveness in the decision-making process. SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT STATEMENT The proposed action will enhance the economic, social, and well-being benefits for the region by continuing to provide support to the JPA and borrowers involved in projects that directly benefit the community. This will drive tangible improvements by addressing the needs of underserved communit

1. CONTINUED ADVOCACY FOR THE REMOVAL AND RELOCATION OF SPENT NUCLEAR FUEL FROM THE SAN ONOFRE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION (SONGS) (DISTRICTS: ALL) SUBJECT: OVERVIEW The San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) operated in the northwest corner of San Diego County for more than 47 years. The station ceased all nuclear operations in June 2013 after excessive vibrations and other issues degraded tubes in the steam generators. Stored on the site today is 1,400 metric tons of spent nuclear fuel, a direct byproduct of 45 years of nuclear power operations. SONGS is currently in year five of an eight-year dismantling process of facilities and equipment at the site. At this time, the federal government has not provided a permanent repository for spent nuclear fuel that could accept SONGS’ spent fuel. Because of this, Southern California Edison (SCE) must continue to store the nuclear waste onsite, in dry cask storage, indefinitely. The spent fuel must be relocated offsite for the SONGS site to be fully restored and for the land to be returned to the U.S. Navy to support the national security mission of training Marines. It’s important to note that an emerging “nuclear renaissance” is bringing helpful attention to spent fuel. Artificial intelligence and data centers require an exponential growth in electricity generation and next-generation small modular reactors (SMRs) can help address this growing demand for power. The prospect of reprocessing spent nuclear fuel in the U.S. for use in advanced reactors is at the research and development phase. A May 23, 2025, presidential executive order (EO) stated, “Swift and decisive action is required to jumpstart America’s nuclear energy industrial base.” The EO calls on the Secretary of Energy to submit a plan by January 2026 for “transferring spent nuclear fuel from reactors to a government-owned, privately operated reprocessing…facility” and “the efficient disposal of the wastes generated by recycling or reprocessing through a permanent disposal pathway.” Now is a vital time to continue advocating for solutions through Spent Fuel Solutions. The Spent Fuel Solutions coalition is led by an executive board that includes the plant owners and representatives of surrounding local governments. More specifically, this decision-making body is composed of Southern California Edison, San Diego Gas & Electric, City of Riverside, the County of Orange, and the County of San Diego (County). Moving San Onofre’s spent nuclear fuel offsite is a shared priority for local communities and SONGS’ co-owners. The executive board currently sets goals and directs efforts to advocate for the removal of spent fuel from SONGS to a federally licensed facility. Today’s item provides an update on the current status of SONGS, including continued participation in the Spent Fuel Solutions coalition. In addition, this item will approve a resolution in which the coalition will advocate for the continued removal and relocation of spent nuclear fuel from the San Diego region and would also authorize the Director of the Department of Purchasing and Contracting (DPC) to enter into single source negotiations with Southwest Strategies to procure management services that continue to support the work of the coalition. RECOMMENDATION(S) Tuesday, August 26, 2025 1

3. SHERIFF - REQUEST TO APPROVE AND AUTHORIZE A REVENUE AGREEMENT WITH THE COMMISSION ON PEACE OFFICER STANDARDS AND TRAINING FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLE OPERATIONS COURSE TRAINING SERVICES (DISTRICTS: ALL) SUBJECT: OVERVIEW In California, the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) is crucial for maintaining high standards in law enforcement. POST establishes selection and training standards for peace officers, ensuring they are equipped with the necessary skills, knowledge, ethics, and attitudes to serve their communities effectively. This includes developing and updating job-related selection standards, providing access to relevant training, and fostering healthy organizational environments through leadership development programs. The San Diego Sheriff's Office (SDSO), on behalf of POST, will start providing driver training for regional law enforcement at its Emergency Vehicle Operations Center (EVOC). The EVOC in East Otay Mesa gives SDSO and other regional law enforcement agencies a dedicated facility in San Diego County to provide driver training to recruits and required biennial in-service driver training for existing peace officers. To take over EVOC training, SDSO must enter into a POST Driver Training contract for the period of July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2027. This contract was previously held by the San Diego Police Department, and both agencies agreed to rotate this responsibility every two years. POST reimburses the core agency for the training of peace officers. Today's action requests the Board to approve and authorize the Clerk of the Board to execute, upon receipt, a revenue agreement between the County of San Diego through the Sheriff's Office, and Commission on POST, for Emergency Vehicle Operations Course Training Services for the period of July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2027.

EQUITY IMPACT STATEMENT Tuesday, August 26, 2025 4

Placing knowledgeable instructors at the Emergency Vehicle Operations Center (EVOC), a state-of-the-art training space, supports the County of San Diego’s equity goals. Governments have a responsibility to ensure that first responders, public safety personnel, and county personnel with driving responsibilities are provided training in emergency vehicle and specialized response vehicle operations, not only for quality delivery of public safety services, but also to limit risk and liability. Having adequate levels of driving training is imperative. Understanding concepts like threshold braking, understeer, oversteer and turn apexes is best learned in-depth and context with practical training. This will ensure that safety services which aim to protect human life and the security of individuals in San Diego communities, continue to be delivered with increased driving expertise and safety. SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT STATEMENT The Emergency Vehicle Operations Center (EVOC) provides the necessary space and terrain required for the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) Training in terms of driving ability, and defensive driving expertise which is crucial for law enforcement officers. Driving is one of the main activities that law enforcement officers do while providing policing for our communities. Taking over the contract with POST allows for the cost recovery of expenses to maintain, operate, and manage the course, most of which have been paid for by the Sheriff's Office since EVOC was opened. The upkeep of EVOC operations is critical for public safety and first responder agencies, so that they can train personnel in emergency vehicle operations. FISCAL IMPACT Funds for this request are not included in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Operational Plan for the Sheriff's Office. If approved, this request will result in current year costs and revenue up to $540,000 to offset facility maintenance and operational costs. Facility
