1. / SUBJECT: / SHERIFF - AMENDMENT TO THE REGIONAL COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM PARTICIPATING AGENCY AGREEMENT (DISTRICTS: ALL)
OVERVIEW:
On May 5, 2009 (2), your board approved to extend the Regional Communications System (RCS) Participating Agency Agreement between the County of San Diego and participating cities and jurisdictions from March 7, 2010 to March 31, 2013. This is a request to approve the recommendation of the RCS Board of Directors to extend the term of the RCS Agreement for another three years to March 31, 2016, in order to allow sufficient time to continue planning for a replacement system and to develop a new participating agency agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds for this request are included in the CAO Proposed Operational Plan Fiscal Year 2012-13 for the Sheriff's Department. If approved, this request will extend the term of the Regional Communications System Participating Agency Agreement to March 31, 2016. The estimated annual cost to operate and maintain the Regional Communications System (RCS) is $5,841,714, of which the County pays approximately $1,879,062 and non-County RCS agencies pay $3,962,652. The funding source is the projected network operating charge from the RCS agencies. This extension will not result in a change in overall costs for the RCS program or change the County's or the participating agencies’ share in the costs. There will be no change in net General Fund cost and no additional staff years.

Due to financial constraints, NCTD terminated this agreement on July 31, 2009. NCTD has requested a new contract with the County, for the Sheriff's Department to provide law enforcement services on the commuter trains commonly called the “Coaster" and the "Sprinter.” This is a request to approve the execution of a new five-year revenue contract between the County of San Diego, through the Sheriff’s Department, and the North County Transit District for law enforcement services for the period September 1, 2012 through June 30, 2017.

4. / SUBJECT: / SHERIFF – HOMELAND SECURITY GRANT PROGRAM APPLICATION AND GOVERNING BODY RESOLUTION (DISTRICTS: ALL)
OVERVIEW:
The federal Department of Homeland Security (DHS) provides funding to the California Emergency Management Agency (Cal EMA) through the Homeland Security Grant Program. Beginning with Fiscal Year 2012 Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP), this program includes direct funding from Cal EMA to the Regional Threat Assessment Centers (RTACs) to support terrorism prevention, preparedness and response efforts in the county. Prior to 2012, funding for the RTACs were included in Homeland Security awards to the Operational Area.
This is a request to submit an application to the Cal EMA, on behalf of the San Diego Regional Threat Assessment Center/Law Enforcement Coordination Center (SD-RTAC/LECC), for the Fiscal Year 2012 HSGP in the amount of $750,000. It is also requested that your Board adopt two governing body resolutions authorizing signature authority within the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department to execute any actions necessary for the purposes of the 2011 and 2012 grant.
Lastly, this action requests authorization for the Sheriff to apply for and accept HSGP grant funds for the RTAC from DHS, sub-granted to Cal EMA, in subsequent years if there are no material changes to the grant terms and funding levels. If authorized, the Sheriff's Department would return to your Board to appropriate any awarded grant funds and approve governing resolutions if required.
