RECOMMENDED ACTION:
City Council adopt Resolution No. 2009-278 approving participation in US Department of
Homeland Security fiscal year 2009 Operation Stonegarden and appropriating funds to conduct
joint anti-smuggling operations in coastal North County San Diego.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The US Department of Homeland Security Operation Stonegarden is a program to enhance
security along the borders of the United States, partnering local, state and federal agencies. The
US Department of Homeland Security, US Customs and Border Protection Border Patrol, state
and local law enforcement agencies in San Diego County will collaborate to raise border security
by increasing law enforcement presence along the border, joint special operations, information
sharing, and communication. Carlsbad will help increase security along San Diego's coastline
and deny coastal egress routes to human and drug smuggling organizations.
San Diego County Sheriff's Department received funds from the US Department of Homeland
Security passed through the California Emergency Management Agency, and is authorized to
execute expenditure contracts to reimburse participating cities for overtime, equipment and other
expenses. State and local law enforcement agencies will enforce local/state laws within their
jurisdiction but not immigration law on behalf of US Customs and Border Protection Border Patrol.
The fiscal year 2009 Operation Stonegarden operational period is from October 1, 2009 through
September 30, 2010.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Costs are estimated to be $139,076 for overtime (2,260 hours), $16,704 for mileage
reimbursement, and $37,400 for equipment, for a total of $193,180. These expenses are eligible
for full reimbursement by San Diego County Sheriff's Department with Operation Stonegarden
federal funds.
The City is not obligated to participate in the Department of Homeland Security's anti-smuggling
operations beyond the October 1, 2009 through September 30, 2010 grant period. Staff will
monitor the budget for this grant on a quarterly basis since the grant period crosses the City's
fiscal year.
