A Local Area Formation Commission (LAFCO) hearing was held on Octo 1994, to judge whether the Regional Communications System request f formation of a CSA was appropriate. After hearing comments, the L board passed the request unanimously and forwarded a recommendat the Board of Supervisors for a public hearing. The 30 day LAFCO s period ended on November 3, 1994, with no appeals having been filed.
On December 6, 1994, the Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution tc CSA No.135, which includes all the territory in the County of San 1 excepting the following cities: Chula Vista, Coronado, El Cajon, Escondic Mesa, National City, Oceanside, San Diego, and Santee.
The Board also formed 12 zones including the nine cities and thrt districts which had adopted resolutions of consent. The Board deleted !! which encompassed the unincorporated areas of San Diego County and to fund their portion through Teter Fund Reserves. The Zones are as fol
CSA Zone A, City of Carlsbad. CSA Zone B, City of Del Mar. CSA Zone C, City of Encinitas. CSA Zone D, City of Imperial Beach. CSA Zone E, City of Lemon Grove. CSA Zone F, City of Poway. CSA Zone G, City of San Marcos. CSA Zone H, City of Solana Beach. CSA Zone I, City of Vista. CSA Zone K, Borrego Springs Fire Protection District. CSA Zone L, East County Fire Protection District. CSA Zone M, Lakeside Fire Protection District.
All future annexations of territory to the above cities will automatica included in the zane of the respective city and. if applicable, detached the unincorporated zone. In addition, all future annexations of territory above fire protection districts will also be automatically included in the of the respective fire protection district.
FISCAL IIVLPACT:
The estimated one-time costs of implementing the proposed regiona! MHz trunked radio system backbone is approximately $28 million, I does not include the cost of individual city equipment. As proposed, tht of the trunked radio backbone, data backbone, and microwave system 7 be financed through the CSA.
This approach was selected because it will minimize the fiscal impact ( procurement on the participating agencies and distribute costs to areas will benefit from the system implementation. In addition, the cost of ai user equipment can be included in the CSA that will allow agencies
limited access to funds to purchase equipment.

This proposal requires the City Council to Adopt Resolution No. approving a budget for CSA No. 135 and requesting the levy of benefit cl for CSA No. 135 for the inclusion of the City of Carlsbad in the regional 1 safety 800 MHz radio communication system.
This assessment, when analyzed over the entire city, produces an esti single-family parcel assessment of $22.89 per year. This parcel asses: will be dependent on the rate of interest acquired at the time of issuance and would be levied with the 1995-96 tax bill, All costs are dis]
with the assumption of amortized money at 7 percent.
Carlsbad’s share of the initial costs to fund the system is $5,22! amortized over 15 years = $9,991,975. In addition, an annual bac maintenance fee of $99,000 is needed X 15 years = $1,485,000 approximate total cost for the system over 15 years is $1 1,476,975. Thc annual cost is $666,131 per year over the 15 year term.
The following is a breakdown of the three main areas to be financed:
1. Radio Backbone and Microwave
The estimated share to Carlsbad for the system backbone (mounta sites and microwave links to dispatch centers) is $1,590,132. Thj be paid up front from city sources, or as recommended throug establishment of a CSA parcel based fee. The attached schedule I the cost to all parcels, with the estimated cost per year for a
family residence being $5.89 for backbone expenses.
Data Backbone/AVL and User Equipment
The estimated cost for the data backbone, Automatic Vehicle LC (AVL), dispatch center upgrades and Carlsbad s ecific equipment
existing city sources, this cost can be borne by the local Carlsbad, 2 of CSA No, 135. The cost for this portion per single-family reside] estimated to be $13.59.
3. Backbone Maintenance
2.
as vehicle and hand-held radios is $3,635,478. I P not paid directly
The estimated cost for annual maintenance which includes ri backbone system and an appropriate reserve fund for ernergenc $25 per radio, per month. For Carlsbad this totals $99,000 annuallj maintenance cost per single-family residence added to the Carl Zone A of CSA No. 135, is estimated at $3.40.
The total estimated cost of all three expense areas per single-family resi would be $22.89 paid annually on the tax roll to CSA No. 135 (See Exhj p. 12).

If Carlsbad decides to use the local Zone A, of CSA No. 135 to finance it:
adopt a different parcel cost allocation formula for local Zone A costs, ( the countywide backbone formula. Carlsbad could also choose to not ut countywide backbone formula at all and adopt a formula of its own to both costs. If this occurs, the debt for backbone expenses wou considered a lump sum payment made by the local Zone of CSA No. 13: Carlsbad City Council will control the rate structure and budget for tht zone, and the Board of Supervisors will set the backbone CSA rates sub1 to them by the Regional Communications Board.
There are other financing options for this proposal other thai recommended use of a CSA parcel based assessment. Carlsbad coul some, or all, of its regional 800 Mhz costs from local sources such as re or local debt financing. However, staff believes the Regional Communic. Board will get excellent bond rates if it finances the whole system incl the Sheriffs equipment along with backbone system expenses. If city re: are used to fund our costs, the result is reduced flexibility for other ( Carlsbad needs that do not have the option of funding through a CSA.
Staff recommends the use of the countywide CSA rate structure for backbone and local zone costs. The table in Exhibit A to Exhibit 1, p. E illustrates the annual per parcel assessment for each type of property us assumes the CSA picks up the entire cost.
ORDINANCES AND BENEFIT CHARGES
Government Code Section 25210.77(a) provides authority for the Bo: Supervisors to fix and collect charges on the tax roll for miscellai extended services and im lementation requires an Ordinance. An a:
also required. The procedures occur annually at the end of July c beginning of August.
Ordinances for the CSA and Zones for the nine cities and the unincorpc
CSA and ten Zones have the formula as listed in Exhibit A, to Exhibit 1, i 9.
The formula for mobile homes assures that they will not be double charg not charging mobile homes renting space in a mobile home park. The ( of the park would be charged according to the number of spaces. The foi also provides that agricultural land would only be charged for dwelling 1 There is no other charge for agricultural land.
Since the size of parcels vary so greatly for the minin and recreational
equipment, it has options on how to set up the local Zone budget, The ci
report listing the charges P or each parcel and public hearing by the Boai
area are part of the Board action, Ordinances presented for adoption fc
the formula proposes an acreage charge rather than a ii at parcel charge.

Dear Zone Representatives:
COUNTY SERVICE AREA (CSA) 135 - REGIONAL 800 MHz RADIO SYSTEM
Since this is the first time a budget will be prepared for th
Regional 800 MHz Radio System and participating zones, we wanted t
tell you about how the proposed budget was determined. We als
wanted to let you know about the processing of subsequent yea budgets.
Administration These are the costs incurred in administering the CSA and you
zone. Administrative tasks may include: (1) preparing the budget
(2) reviewing accounting documents, (3) attending meetings, (4 answering telephone inquiries, (5) preparing correspondence, an (6) preparing benefit charges for the tax bill. Administrativ tasks performed by the Department of Information Services will b included in the CSA 135 800 MHz Backbone budget. Please be awar
that we only charge administrative expenses when they have bee incurred. Any amount not spent remains with your zone.
Data Processinq These are the costs incurred in processing benefit charges. Thc amount budgeted was based on like-sized Independent Districts Data processing tasks may include: (1) generating early compute:
runs to help the CSA and zones identify trailer parks, (2
processing changes, and (3) generating the final tape to submittc
the Auditor for inclusion of benefit charges on the tax bill,
Audit
A yearly audit of the prior year is done by the County's Audito: and Controller Office and is mandated by State of Californi,
Government Code Section 26909. This law states that audits must bc
completed and financial statements be filed with the Statc
Controller's Office annually. Therefore, if you have a budget this
year, there will be an audit fee included on next year's budget.
The amount budgeted will be provided by the Auditor's Office basec
on number of hours required for the audit. Those CSAs with loans
and or fixed assets should expect to pay a higher audit fee. Audit
fees for 1995-96 ranged between $220-$350.

Number sf Benefit Units The number of benefit units was based on the formula that your governing bodies are being asked to approve.
Cost Der Benefit Unit The estimated cast per benefit unit was based an the amount requested by each zone and the additional charges referred to
above. The budget was prepared using benefit charges as the only means of financing. If city contributions (to the zone only) were
available, the amount to be raised by benefit charges would
decrease thereby causing the amount per benefit unit to decrease.
In future years fund balance may be available because any funds not . used to finance the current year budget will be carried over to
help finance the following fiscal year's budget.

subdivision of the State of California, provides for the development and
operation of a Regional Communications System (RCS) benefiting the
radio communication needs of public safety and public service agencies
operating in the counties of San Diego and Imperial.
Nothing in this Agreement is intended to lessen participating member
jurisdictions’ authority over and responsibility for events occurring within
their jurisdiction.
In order to provide an alternate source of funding for agencies participating
in the RCS, the County of San Diego has formed County Service Area
(CSA) 135 pursuant to Government Code (GC) Section 2521 0.1 et. seq.
For participating agencies deciding to use CSA 135 to fund their system
costs, the County intends to levy parcel charges according to benefit per

The RCS will include a separate Mobile Data System (MDS) that will be
used to transmit data for regional public safety and public service users
over 800 MHz radio frequencies dedicated to that purpose. Participation in
the MDS is not mandatory, and the MDS coverage area will be subject to
agency participation.
The RCS shall provide effective and reliable radio communications for
routine intra-agency operations as well as inter-agency communications
throughout the region during mutual aid and disaster operations. Public
safety and public service agencies throughout the counties of San Diego
and Imperial will have the opportunity to join the RCS.
