1. DISTRICT ATTORNEY - REQUEST TO APPLY FOR AND ACCEPT CALIFORNIA OFFICE OF TRAFFIC SAFETY GRANTS (DISTRICTS: ALL) SUBJECT: OVERVIEW The District Attorney’s Office (DAO) has a long history of utilizing grant funds to support the operation of the Driving Under the Influence (DUI) Homicide Unit and impaired driving prevention activities since 2014. This is a request to authorize the DAO to submit a grant application, and if awarded, to accept the grant funding for the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) DUI grant through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2024-2025. The estimated grant amount of $2.5 million would be for the period of October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025. In addition to continuing vertical prosecution of DUI cases, the grant would also support community education on impaired driving and provide training for local law enforcement on DUI investigations. This is also a request to authorize the DAO to apply for and accept grant funding from OTS in subsequent years provided there are no material changes to the grant terms and funding levels. If authorized, the DAO will return to the Board of Supervisors for authorization to appropriate awarded funds as necessary. RECOMMENDATION(S) DISTRICT ATTORNEY 1. Waive Board Policy B-29, Fees, Grants, Revenue Contracts - Department Responsibility for Cost Recovery which requires full cost recovery of grants and to the extent it requires separate applications for authority to apply for and accept grants. 2. Authorize the District Attorney to apply for and accept grant funds in the estimated amount of $2.5 million for the period of October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025 from the California Office of Traffic Safety for the Driving Under the Influence program and apply for and accept grant funds in subsequent years provided there are no material changes to the grant terms or funding level. 3. Authorize the District Attorney to review and execute all required grant and grant-related documents for the Driving Under the Influence grant program, this year and in subsequent years, including agreements with other government agencies for the distribution of grant funds where necessary to carry out the purposes of the grant and any annual extension, amendments, and/or revisions thereof that do not materially impact or alter the services or funding level. This authorization would include agreements for the distribution of grant funds where necessary to carry out the purposes of each grant and any annual extension, amendments, and/or revisions thereof that do not materially impact or alter the services or funding level. EQUITY IMPACT STATEMENT The District Attorney's Office is constitutionally responsible for the investigation and prosecution of all criminal violations of state law and county ordinances. The District Attorney’s 1TUESDAY, DECEMBER 5, 2023

Driving Under the Influence (DUI) Homicide Unit specializes in prosecuting DUI homicide and other DUI related cases. DUI cases affect all communities in San Diego and are also prevalent in cases involving youth. The DUI Homicide Unit is committed to engaging all San Diego communities in education and awareness campaigns to protect residents and prevent the tragedies associated with impaired driving. Proactive strategies will be deployed with the goal of educating the community at large, with an added focus on outreach at local schools and universities. SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT STATEMENT The District Attorney’s application for Office of Traffic Safety grant funding contributes to the County of San Diego’s sustainability goals of safety by focusing on educating community members on the dangers of impaired driving, assisting victims and families who have been harmed by a Driving Under the Influence (DUI) driver, training law enforcement personnel in the investigation and prosecution of DUI cases. FISCAL IMPACT Funds for this request will be included in the Fiscal Years 2024-26 CAO Recommended Operational Plan for the District Attorney’s Office. If approved, this request will result in estimated costs and revenue of $2.5 million for Fiscal Year 2024-25. The funding sources are $2.3 million from the California Office of Traffic Safety and an estimated $0.2 million of existing General Purpose Revenue for indirect costs. Funds in subsequent years will be included in future operational plans. 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 Desmond, seconded by Supervisor Anderson, the Board of Supervisors took action as recommended, on Consent. Vargas, Anderson, Lawson-Remer, Montgomery Steppe, DesmondAYES: 2. SHERIFF - REQUEST TO APPROVE AMENDMENT TO THE REVENUE CONTRACT WITH DEPARTMENT OF STATE HOSPITALS FOR THE FELONY INCOMPETENT TO STAND TRIAL (IST) PROGRAM (DISTRICTS: ALL) SUBJECT: OVERVIEW The Department of State Hospitals (DSH) is responsible for restoring competency to individuals with serious mental illnesses who are found mentally incompetent to stand trial (IST) on felony charges, pursuant to California Penal Code 1370. A person cannot be tried or sentenced while mentally incompetent, therefore IST defendants are to be committed to a state hospital for care and treatment to restore competency in order to stand trial. There is a high demand in California for state hospital beds for substantive services to restore competency, which has created delays to IST treatment. DSH has made efforts to mitigate restorative service delays by introducing programs to facilitate expediency in the competency restoration process as well as alternatives to incarceration through diversion programs. 2TUESDAY, DECEMBER 5, 2023

The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department (SDSD) and DSH agreed to implement the Re-Evaluation Services IST program at Sheriff’s detention facilities and entered into a revenue agreement executed in October 2022 with estimated expenditures of $100,000 per year for Fiscal Years 2021-22, 2022-23, and 2023-24. The SDSD agreed to facilitate access and provide security to IST individuals who DSH identified as being selected for re-evaluation services. IST individuals are escorted from their respective housing locations to the telehealth interview areas within the facilities. SDSD further agreed to provide DSH with relevant incarcerated persons' medical records, including mental health and behavioral health records, and coordinate interviews with defendants who have been determined to be IST on a felony charge, and are awaiting placement into a DSH restoration program. Due to the high demand for competency restorative services, DSH has increased the re-evaluation services provided by the program, which has resulted in an increase of additional $300,000 in the estimated expenditures of the revenue agreement between now through June 30, 2024. This is a request to approve a revenue agreement addendum increasing the estimated expenditures and revenue for services provided to the DSH Re-Evaluation Services for IST program. RECOMMENDATIONS SHERIFF 1. 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. 2. Approve and authorize the Clerk of the Board to execute, upon receipt, an amendment to the Agreement for Incompetent to Stand Trial (IST) services between the County of San Diego, through the Sheriff’s Department, and Department of State Hospitals (DSH), to increase funding by $300,000. 3. Establish appropriations of $300,000 in the Sheriff's Department, Salaries & Benefits, based on revenue from DSH for the IST program. (4 VOTES) EQUITY IMPACT STATEMENT The Department of State Hospitals and San Diego County Sheriff's Department recognize the systemic impact the Statewide waitlist for incompetent to stand trial treatment services has had on incarcerated persons with serious mental illness who are awaiting trial. This agreement continues the focus on equity by decreasing the disparity from the State justice system and benefits the incarcerated person by supporting the access to restoration services. SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT STATEMENT The proposed actions support the County of San Diego’s Sustainability Initiative of resiliency by ensuring the County’s ability to respond more efficiently to the immediate needs of incarcerated persons with serious mental illness requiring incompetent to stand trial treatment services. The proposed action to expedite access to restoration and forensic services for incarcerated persons contributes to the County of San Diego's Sustainability Goal to provide just and equitable access because it lessens the time that incarcerated persons need to be housed in a Jail Based Competency Treatment Program or in a state hospital. 3TUESDAY, DECEMBER 5, 2023

FISCAL IMPACT Funds for this request are not included in the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Operational Plan for the Sheriff's Department. If approved, this request will result in current year costs and revenue up to $300,000. The funding source is revenue from Department of State Hospitals. There will no change in net General Fund cost and no increase in staff years. BUSINESS IMPACT STATEMENT N/A ACTION: ON MOTION of Supervisor Desmond, seconded by Supervisor Anderson, the Board of Supervisors took action as recommended, on Consent. Vargas, Anderson, Lawson-Remer, Montgomery Steppe, DesmondAYES: 3. ACCEPT THE FISCAL YEAR 2023-24 COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS PARTNERSHIP PLAN (DISTRICTS: ALL) SUBJECT: OVERVIEW On October 1, 2011, the State of California implemented the Public Safety Realignment Act (AB 109). This law fundamentally altered the criminal justice system by changing the definition of a felony; shifting housing for people with lower-level felony offenses from state prison to local county jails; and transferring the supervision of designated people on parole from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to local county agencies. AB 109 requires counties to develop comprehensive plans to effectively implement these modifications to the criminal justice system without compromising public safety. Today’s action requests that the Board of Supervisors (Board) accept San Diego County’s Fiscal Year 2023-24 plan, known as the Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) Plan. AB 109 established the role and membership of the CCP Executive Committee, which approves a CCP Plan. In 2023, updates to the CCP Plan were provided by the District Attorney’s Office, Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA), Probation Department, Public Defender, and the Sheriff’s Department. The CCP Plan reflects stakeholder and community participation gathered during two community forums and through the Engage San Diego online platform that includes feedback from community-based providers and individuals with prior justice system involvement and their families. The updated CCP Plan shows that San Diego County’s approach to AB 109 and the broader justice system has evolved significantly in the 12 years since passage of AB 109. Additionally, the policy priorities expressed by the County of San Diego Board of Supervisors are reflected in the plan including a focus on behavioral health, housing, equity, and alternatives to incarceration. The Fiscal Year 2023-24 CCP Plan provides an updated framework for San Diego County justice partners and stakeholders to plan, monitor, and report on the San Diego County criminal justice system. As part of a public meeting, the CCP Executive Committee voted to accept the CCP Plan on October 12, 2023. Today’s action is a request for the Board to accept the Fiscal Year 2023-24 4TUESDAY, DECEMBER 5, 2023

CCP Plan. RECOMMENDATION(S) CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER 1. Accept the County’s Fiscal Year 2023-24 Community Corrections Partnership Plan. EQUITY IMPACT STATEMENT The Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) Plan was developed with equity as a guiding principle to reduce disparities across the health and justice systems and ensure equitable access to quality prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation services. The CCP Plan includes feedback from community stakeholders and individuals who were previously involved with the justice system. The CCP Plan includes services delivered by community members with relevant lived experiences to mentor and assist individuals to successfully transition from custody into the community. SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT STATEMENT The proposed action to accept the County’s Fiscal Year 2023-24 Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) Plan contributes to the County of San Diego's Sustainability Goals of engaging the community and providing just and equitable access to services and resources. The CCP Plan reflects robust community input gathered from two community forums and the Engage San Diego online platform and includes feedback from representatives of community-based organizations and individuals with lived experience in the justice system. Furthermore, the CCP Plan outlines linkages and access to treatment, behavioral health care, housing, education, employment, medical and public health care, with the goal of expanding the availability of accessible County services and community resources for justice-involved individuals. The Probation Department will continue to gather public input on future CCP Plans to meet the needs of justice-involved individuals and encourage diverse stakeholders to participate in decisions that affect their communities. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with accepting Fiscal Year 2023-24 Community Corrections Partnership Plan. 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 Desmond, seconded by Supervisor Anderson, the Board of Supervisors took action as recommended, on Consent. Vargas, Anderson, Lawson-Remer, Montgomery Steppe, DesmondAYES: 4. AUTHORIZE COMPETITIVE SOLICITATIONS FOR SERVICES IN PROBATION FACILITIES AND THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO (DISTRICTS: ALL) SUBJECT: OVERVIEW The County of San Diego Probation Department (Probation) provides a comprehensive array of 5TUESDAY, DECEMBER 5, 2023

programs and services to Probation clients and their families throughout the County in Probation facilities and in the community. These services are delivered through County-operated programs, as well as through contracted services. Today’s actions request the County of San Diego Board of Supervisors to authorize competitive solicitations for contracts to continue providing youth-focused programs including family therapy, alternatives to detention, credible messenger mentoring, and food and healthcare services for Probation detention facilities. These programs support Probation’s mission of fulfilling clients’ needs, using evidence-based and best practices in the continuum of care and promoting public safety. These actions support the County of San Diego’s vision of a just, sustainable, and resilient future for all. These services will help justice-involved clients acquire life skills, gain self-sufficiency, and avoid recidivism, while protecting community safety. RECOMMENDATION(S) CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER 1. 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 family therapy services, and upon successful negotiation and determination of fair and reasonable price, award contracts for an initial term of one (1) year with up to four (4) one-year options and an additional six months if needed, subject to the availability of funds and a need for the services, and to amend the contract as needed to reflect changes to services and funding, subject to the approval of the Chief Probation Officer. 2.

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 integrated healthcare services at Probation facilities, and upon successful negotiation and determination of fair and reasonable price, award contracts for an initial term of one (1) year with up to four (4) one-year options and an additional six months if needed, subject to the availability of funds and a need for the services, and to amend the contract as needed to reflect changes to services and funding, subject to the approval of the Chief Probation Officer. EQUITY IMPACT STATEMENT These contracts will provide services to Probation clients and their families, including those underserved by social and health resources and populations with justice-involvement, those experiencing homelessness and those with health conditions. SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT STATEMENT Today’s proposed actions contribute to the County of San Diego’s Sustainability Goals of providing equitable access to economic opportunity and reducing outcomes of poverty like homelessness. These services will strengthen family relationships, promote client self-sufficiency, and improve client health and well-being. In addition, food will be sourced locally when possible, supporting local agriculture and reducing emissions. Food-related materials will be tracked for waste reduction, diversion, reuse, and recycling. These services will serve to strengthen the County’s efforts to maximize environmental and sustainability practices. FISCAL IMPACT If approved, this request will result in approximate total costs and revenue of $15.1 million of which $0.3 million in existing General Purpose Revenue is included in the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Operational Plan for Probation. Remaining costs and revenue of $14.8 million will be included in future Operational Plans for Probation.

5. EMERGENCY SERVICES - 2023 HOMELAND SECURITY GRANT PROGRAM AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERFORMANCE GRANT PROGRAM GOVERNING BODY RESOLUTION (DISTRICTS: ALL) SUBJECT: OVERVIEW The U.S. Department of Homeland Security provides funding to the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) through the Homeland Security Grant Program which includes the State Homeland Security Program and the Urban Areas Security Initiative and the Emergency Management Performance Grant Program. The County of San Diego Office of Emergency Services (OES) is responsible for administering and distributing the State Homeland Security Grant Program funds in the region for prevention, preparedness and response efforts related to terrorism and other catastrophic events. The purpose of the State Emergency Management Performance Grants is to support comprehensive emergency management and to encourage the improvement of mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery capabilities for all hazards. On September 15, 2015 (3) (6), the Board of Supervisors authorized OES to apply for and accept Homeland Security Program Grants and Emergency Management Performance Grants in subsequent years. In 2023, OES submitted Fiscal Year 2023 applications to the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services for both the Homeland Security Grant Program and the Emergency Management Performance Grant Program. OES received a notification of award on October 18, 2023, for the State Homeland Security Grant Program ($3,210,706), and on October 16, 2023, for the Emergency Management Performance Grant Program ($775,605). This is a request to adopt a governing body resolution for the Fiscal Year 2023 State Homeland Security Program and Emergency Management Performance Grant Program which will authorize the Deputy Chief Administrative Officer, Public Safety Group, or the Director or Assistant Director of OES to execute any actions necessary for the purposes of these grants and accept grant funding in the amount of $3,986,311. RECOMMENDATION(S) CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER 1. Adopt a resolution entitled: A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO RELATING TO THE STATE HOMELAND SECURITY GRANT PROGRAM AND THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERFORMANCE GRANT PROGRAM. 2. Waive Board Policy B-29 (Fees, Grants and Revenue Contracts - Department Responsibility for Cost Recovery), which requires full cost recovery for grants. 3. Authorize the Director of the Office of Emergency Services, or designee, to accept grant funds in the amount of $3,210,706 for the State Homeland Security Grant Program through June 30, 2026 and $775,605 for the Emergency Management Performance Grant Program through June 30, 2025 and, authorize the Director of the Office of Emergency Services, or designee, to accept grant funds in subsequent years provided there are no material changes to the grants’ purpose, services, or funding level. 4. Authorize the Director of the Office of Emergency Services, or designee, to execute all 8TUESDAY, DECEMBER 5, 2023

required grant documents, including any annual extensions, amendments, and/or revisions thereto that do not materially impact or alter the services or funding level. EQUITY IMPACT STATEMENT The Office of Emergency Services (OES) recognizes the systemic impacts that inequitable policies may create for residents of the county of San Diego. Impacts have historically included outcomes related to racial justice and issues of belonging that may be reflected in the programs, services and resources allocated to communities. To combat terrorism and improve response to all hazards in the community more proportionately, OES will continue to take a whole community approach in emergency management and, through an equity lens, collaborate with partner agencies to implement projects and policies to address gaps in underserved areas. OES anticipates these actions will have a positive effect on all San Diego County residents and increase preparedness and resiliency in all communities across the region. SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT STATEMENT The proposed action to authorize the Director of the Office of Emergency Services, or designee, to accept grant funds from the State Homeland Security Grant Program and Emergency Management Performance Grant Program, along with adopting a resolution of the Board of Supervisors of the County of San Diego relating to the State Homeland Security Grant Program and Emergency Management Performance Grant, contributes to the County of San Diego’s Sustainability Goal to protect the health and wellbeing of citizens. These actions will impact the sustainability of health and wellbeing by providing emergency management planning, outreach, and equipment necessary to mitigate terrorism and all hazards across the San Diego region. FISCAL IMPACT Funds in the amount of $1,768,800 for the State Homeland Security Grant Program are included in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24 Operational Plan for the Office of Emergency Services. The total grant award is $3,210,706. Remaining funds of $1,441,906 will be included in FY 2024-26 CAO Recommended Operational Plan for the Office of Emergency Services.

BUSINESS IMPACT STATEMENT N/A 9TUESDAY, DECEMBER 5, 2023

ACTION: ON MOTION of Supervisor Desmond, seconded by Supervisor Anderson, the Board of Supervisors took action as recommended, on Consent, and adopted Resolution No. 23-135, entitled: A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO RELATING TO THE STATE HOMELAND SECURITY GRANT PROGRAM AND THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERFORMANCE GRANT PROGRAM. Vargas, Anderson, Lawson-Remer, Montgomery Steppe, DesmondAYES: 6. ADOPT RESOLUTION TO GUIDE IMPLEMENTATION OF SENATE BILL (SB) 43 AND ESTABLISH A MULTISECTORAL PLANNING PROCESS TO GUIDE IMPLEMENTATION (DISTRICTS: ALL) SUBJECT: OVERVIEW On October 10, 2023, Governor Newson signed into law Senate Bill (SB) 43, amending the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act (LPS Act), for the first time in over 50 years. Under the LPS Act, “gravely disabled” was narrowly defined as a condition in which a person, as a result of a mental health disorder or impairment by chronic alcoholism, is unable to provide for basic personal needs for food, clothing, or shelter. SB 43 significantly expands the definition of gravely disabled by including severe substance use disorder (SUD) as an allowable category for someone to be compelled into treatment or placed under conservatorship. The adoption of SB 43 is one of several recent actions taken by Governor Newson to overhaul the State’s behavioral health system. Other recent statewide initiatives include SB 326, the “Behavioral Health Services Program and Bond Measure,” which will go to California voters as Proposition 1 on March 5, 2024, as well as the establishment of the Community Assistance, Recovery, and Empowerment program (CARE Act), which provides a new pathway to deliver mental health services for those living with untreated schizophrenia spectrum or other psychotic disorders through a new civil court process. On October 1, 2023, the County of San Diego was one of seven pilot counties in the State to implement the CARE Act to address the behavioral health needs of eligible individuals for whom other treatment options are not working. The CARE Act required over a year of rigorous planning and coordination across multiple County departments and with external stakeholders to implement and has now been operational for two months. One of the key lessons learned of the planning process of the CARE Act was the convening of the stakeholders comprised of representatives from County Behavioral Health Services, the judicial system, local municipalities, and stakeholders to develop the program and establish the infrastructure necessary for successful implementation on October 1, 2023. As a County, we are committed to successfully implement the CARE Act program and SB 43 as part of the County’s Behavioral Health Continuum of Care. Today’s action would adopt a resolution to implement SB 43 on January 1, 2025. Additionally, it will direct the Chief Administrative Officer to establish a multi-sectoral planning process that would include key parties and agencies impacted by and/or involved with the implementation of SB 43. RECOMMENDATION(S) 10TUESDAY, DECEMBER 5, 2023

EQUITY IMPACT STATEMENT The County of San Diego has taken a proactive approach to address the behavioral health needs of our communities, especially our most vulnerable populations including youth, seniors and people experiencing homelessness. On October 1, 2023, San Diego County became one of seven Cohort One counties to implement the CARE Act, which provides community-based behavioral health services and supports to Californians living with untreated schizophrenia spectrum or other psychotic disorders through a new civil court process. The County of San Diego is committed to give careful consideration to the implementation of both the CARE Act and SB 43 to ensure clients have the best possible outcomes. SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT STATEMENT This action aligns with the County of San Diego’s (County’s) Sustainability Goal #1, #2 and #4. Sustainability Goal #1 involves the engage with the community and this action calls for the County of San Diego to conduct stakeholder engagement and input regarding the implementation of SB 43. This action also aligns with the County’s Sustainability Goal #2 to provide just and equitable access to County services. As the State and County continue to address the behavioral health needs of Californians, we have a responsibility to prioritize the health and well-being of those experiencing a mental health crisis through a client-centered approach. Lastly, this aligns with Sustainability #4 to protect the health and well-being of everyone in the region. Today’s action ensures that the individuals who may be affected by SB 43, have the best possible outcomes and ensuring all parties responsible in the roll out of SB 43 have an opportunity to carefully think through the methodology needed to have a successful program. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with today’s recommendations; however, there will likely be future fiscal impacts identified by the department including new costs and staff years associated with the implementation of SB 43, which will be included in future Operational Plans for consideration and approval by the Board.
