1. DISTRICT ATTORNEY - REQUEST APPROVAL OF A SINGLE SOURCE CONTRACT FOR SECURE COVERED PARKING FOR COUNTY VEHICLES (DISTRICTS: ALL) SUBJECT: OVERVIEW Downtown San Diego continues to be an area filled with high-rise offices, residences and retail businesses, along with amenities attractive to many visitors. As a result, there is a scarcity of affordable covered and secure parking facilities for County-owned vehicles and safety equipment within proximity to the Hall of Justice. The amount of available parking at the Hall of Justice is inadequate to satisfy all the District Attorney’s parking needs. To meet the need for secure and covered parking within relative proximity, the District Attorney’s Office has identified the ACE Parking Inc. parking garage on Columbia Street as a safe environment to park County-owned law enforcement vehicles. ACE Parking Inc. is the only service provider that can continue to accommodate the estimated 200 parking spaces required. Pursuant to Board Policy A-87, Competitive Procurement, procurement of secure parking spaces from ACE Parking Inc. qualifies for single source since the unique service is not available from other sources. This is a request to authorize the Director of Purchasing and Contracting to enter into a one-year contract with four (4) option years, beginning on July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2030, with ACE Parking Inc. to continue providing an estimated 200 covered and secure parking spaces at the Columbia Street parking garage on behalf of the District Attorney’s Office. The current contract expires June 30, 2025. RECOMMENDATION(S) DISTRICT ATTORNEY 1. In accordance with Board Policy A-87, Competitive Procurement, approve and authorize the Director of the Department of Purchasing and Contracting to enter into negotiations with ACE Parking Inc. and subject to successful negotiations and a determination of a fair and reasonable price, award a contract(s) for secure parking spaces within a five-block radius of the Hall of Justice, for one (1) year and four (4) option years beginning July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2030, and an additional six (6) months if needed, and to amend the contract(s) as needed to reflect changes to services or funding subject to the approval of the District Attorney. EQUITY IMPACT STATEMENT The District Attorney’s Office is committed to ethically prosecuting those who commit crimes, protecting victims, and preventing future harm. Today’s action will permit the District Attorney’s Office to meet its operational needs and continue pursuing equal and fair justice for all San Diego communities. SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT STATEMENT The proposed action supports the County of San Diego’s Sustainability Goals of a fair and equitable justice system. The District Attorney's Office’s use of secure and proximity parking allows for a timely response to the community’s law enforcement needs, contributing to overall Tuesday, April 22, 2025 1

regional sustainability. FISCAL IMPACT Funds for this request will be included in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 CAO Recommended Operational Plan for the District Attorney’s Office. If approved, this request will result in estimated costs and revenue of $400,000 in Fiscal Year 2025-26 and estimated costs and revenue of $400,000 in Fiscal Year 2026-27. The funding sources are revenue from various State grants and programs, including Proposition 64 Consumer Fraud, Insurance Fraud, and the Computer and Technology Crimes High-Tech Task Force ($116,000), and General Purpose Revenue ($284,000) in each fiscal year. There will be no change in net General Fund cost and no additional staff years. BUSINESS IMPACT STATEMENT N/A 2. ESTABLISH APPROPRIATIONS AND AUTHORIZE ADVERTISEMENT AND AWARD OF A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT FOR SAN PASQUAL FIRE STATION 84 LIVING QUARTERS PROJECT AND RELATED CEQA EXEMPTION (DISTRICTS: 2) SUBJECT: OVERVIEW The San Diego County Fire Protection District (SDCFPD) provides around-the-clock fire protection and emergency medical services to approximately 100,000 residents across 1.5 million acres of unincorporated San Diego County. The SDCFPD includes several isolated and minimally populated communities. One of those communities includes San Pasqual in unincorporated northeastern Escondido. Through a partnership with the City of San Diego’s Fire-Rescue Department (City Fire-Rescue), the County maintains the station and City Fire-Rescue provides staffing, vehicles, and equipment to serve County residents in San Pasqual and adjacent City of San Diego communities. The current station has an apparatus bay and a small three-bedroom modular home for firefighters to reside while on shift. City Fire-Rescue has notified County Fire staff of the potential to increase their staffing from two to four firefighters at the San Pasqual station. However, to meet the existing bargaining unit agreement, each firefighter is required to have their own sleeping room. To accommodate this change, a larger modular home with four bedrooms and two bathrooms would need to be installed. The total estimated cost of the project is approximately $865,000 with construction expected to begin in Fiscal Year 2025-26. Once the project is completed, County residents will receive additional firefighting and advanced life support resources at no ongoing cost to SDCFPD. Today’s request seeks to find the project is exempt from CEQA, establish appropriations for the project, authorize the Director of Purchasing and Contracting to advertise and award a construction contract for the modular home project, and authorize the Director, Department of General Services to administer the construction contract. Moving forward on this project will be dependent on the City of San Diego adopting a Fiscal Year 2025-26 budget that includes a staffing increase at the San Pasqual station. Should the Board approve today’s recommendations, Tuesday, April 22, 2025 2

the project can immediately commence once the staffing increase is confirmed. RECOMMENDATIONS CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER 1. Find that the proposed actions are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as specified under sections 15303, 15304 and 15311 of the CEQA Guidelines. 2. Transfer appropriations of $865,000 from San Diego County Fire, Services & Supplies, to Contributions to Capital Outlay Fund, Operating Transfer Out, to provide funding for the San Pasqual Fire Station 84 Living Quarters project. 3. Establish appropriations of $865,000 in the Capital Outlay Fund for Capital Project 1027530, San Pasqual Fire Station 84 Living Quarters, based on an Operating Transfer In from the General Fund. (4 VOTES) 4. Authorize the Director, Department of Purchasing and Contracting, to advertise and award a construction contract and to take any action authorized by Section 401, et seq. of the Administrative Code, with respect to contracting for the construction of the San Pasqual Fire Station 84 Living Quarters Project. 5. Designate the Director, Department of General Services, as the County officer responsible for administering the awarded contract for the construction of the San Pasqual Fire Station 84 Living Quarters Project and authorize the Director, Department of General Services to execute any and all documents necessary for the implementation of the construction contract. EQUITY IMPACT STATEMENT More than 80 percent of the San Diego County Fire Protection District’s (SDCFPD) jurisdictional area qualifies as a disadvantaged unincorporated community, based on a San Diego Local Agency Formation Commission report on the funding, administration, and performance of the former County Service Area No. 135 (now SDCFPD). Furthermore, with 79 percent of the San Diego region’s unincorporated area designated as High or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones. The living quarters project at San Pasqual will offer the necessary space to boost daily staffing levels to four firefighters and provide additional services to rural residents in the SDCFPD and surrounding communities. SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT STATEMENT The proposed actions in today’s request support the County of San Diego’s commitment to resiliency and align with the Sustainability Initiative of the County of San Diego’s 2025-2030 Strategic Plan by further enhancing the regions fire protection and emergency medical services capabilities to foster safe and resilient communities. FISCAL IMPACT Funds for this request are not included in the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Operational Plan for the Capital Outlay Fund. If approved, this request will establish appropriations of $865,000 in the Capital Outlay Fund for Capital Project 1027530 San Pasqual Fire Station 84 Living Quarters, based on a transfer of existing General Purpose Revenue from San Diego County Fire.

will be no change in net General Fund cost and no additional staff years. BUSINESS IMPACT STATEMENT N/A 3. AUTHORIZATION TO ACCEPT TOBACCO GRANT PROGRAM FUNDING, ADOPT A RESOLUTION, AND AUTHORIZE APPLICATIONS FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES (DISTRICTS: ALL) SUBJECT: OVERVIEW In November 2016, California voters passed Proposition 56, the California Healthcare, Research, and Prevention Tobacco Tax Act of 2016, which increased the cigarette tax by $2.00 per pack of cigarettes. Through Proposition 56, the California Department of Justice (CADOJ) offers grant funding to support Tobacco Retail Licensing (TRL) efforts in local jurisdictions throughout the state. Since 2021, the County of San Diego (County) Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA), Public Health Services, TRL Program has applied for and received funding from CADOJ to support the local TRL Ordinance (No. 10699), approved by the San Diego County Board of Supervisors (Board) on December 8, 2020 (8). On January 23, 2024 (4), the Board accepted $1,279,771 in Tobacco Grant Program funds from CADOJ for the term of January 1, 2024, through June 30, 2027, adopted a resolution, and authorized applications for future funding opportunities to raise awareness about the harmful effects of tobacco use and to reduce access to tobacco products for San Diego County residents. In June 2024, the County applied for additional funding, and in October 2024, was awarded for the term of July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2028. If approved to accept additional funding, planned activities include continuing to perform compliance checks for all retailers, creating an education option for retailers who are cited in lieu of a license suspension, and expanding the data management system. Today’s actions request the Board to authorize acceptance of $2,402,082 in funds from the CADOJ for the term of July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2028, for Tobacco Tax Health Education Revenue, including any extensions, amendments, and revisions thereof that do not materially impact either the program or funding level. Today’s action also requests to waive Board Policy B-29, adopt a resolution and authorize the Deputy Chief Administrative Officer, HHSA, to apply for additional funds when available. 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 providing services to reduce and eliminate tobacco use among San Diego County residents, specifically youth, who live within, or visit, the unincorporated areas of the county that will ultimately promote a healthy, safe, and thriving region. RECOMMENDATION(S) CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER Tuesday, April 22, 2025 4

EQUITY IMPACT STATEMENT According to the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, since the inception of the California Tobacco Control Program, there has been a substantial decline in adult smoking in California over the last 30 years. Results from the 2023 California Health Interview Survey showed an adult smoking prevalence of 5.1% in the state. However, disparities in cigarette smoking continue to persist by age, gender, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, income level, education, and those who experience psychological distress, or reside in rural areas. According to the 2023 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS), though the percentage of African Americans in California who smoke has fallen from 12.3% in 2018 to 9.0% in 2023, rate of smoking in this population exceeds that of the White (5.2%) and Latino (5.0%) populations. The percentage of smokers in the Asian American population is lower than that of the White and Latino populations at 3.5%. The 2023 California Youth Tobacco Survey (CYTS) (formerly called the California Student Tobacco Survey), for San Diego County, found that vapes were the most popular tobacco product, with 7.8% of surveyed youth being current users. By contrast, according to the CYTS, only 1.2% reported currently smoking cigarettes and 0.5% using little cigars or cigarillos. Overall, according to the CHIS, 9.7% of adults reported currently using a non-cigarette tobacco product. The Tobacco Retail Licensing Program (TRLP) in the County of San Diego (County) Health and Human Services Agency, Public Health Services is responsible for the oversight of the County’s Tobacco Retail Licensing Ordinance including administration, education, compliance verification and enforcement activities. Acceptance of funds will advance the goal of the TRLP to limit youth access to tobacco products and reduce the initiation of overall tobacco use by County residents. SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT STATEMENT Today’s proposed actions support the County of San Diego (County) Sustainability Goal #4 to protect the health and well-being of everyone in the region, with a focus on collaborating with community partners and stakeholders and advocating for environmental justice for communities Tuesday, April 22, 2025 5

that have been disproportionately impacted by tobacco use. Today’s actions will help to further enhance the County’s activities, including license enforcement, compliance checks, license inspections, public education outreach, community engagement and education, and preventing and reducing the use of tobacco products by minors and youth. FISCAL IMPACT Funds for this request are included in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-27 CAO Recommended Operational Plan in the Health and Human Services Agency. If approved, this request will result in costs of $846,112 and revenue of $766,918 in FY 2025-26, costs of $883,423 and revenue of $800,019 in FY 2026-27, and costs of $923,060 and revenue of $835,145 in FY 2027-28 for a total cost of $2,652,595 and revenue of $2,402,082 for the entire grant term, to support tobacco retail licensing activities. Funds for subsequent years will be included in future operational plans. The funding source is the California Department of Justice Tobacco Grant Program. A waiver of Board Policy B-29 is requested because the funding does not offset all indirect costs. These indirect costs which will not be recovered are estimated at $79,194 for FY 2025-26, $83,404 for FY 2026-27, and $87,915 for FY 2027-28, for a total unrecovered indirect cost of $250,513 for the entire grant term. The funding source for these unrecovered costs is the Tobacco Retail License fee. The County of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency certifies the
