THOMAS J. PASTUSZKA Clerk of the Board of Supervisors By Marvice ETMazyck, Deputy 5/05/09 AB# J3D&8 MTG. 3/ai/oS DEpT C\m OF CARLSBAD - AGE —^^^ ... _ TITLE: FIR/POL CONSENT TO PARTICIPATE IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY REGIONAL 80O MHz COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM o U2 8 approving a budget for County Service Area RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution No. ^g- (CSA) No. 135 and Zone A, requesting the levy of benefit charges for CSA No. 135 for the inclusion of the City of Carlsbad in the regional public safety 800 MHz radio communication system (Exhibit 1, p. 6 and Exhibit A & B to theResolution, pgs. 8-11). Approve and authorize the Mayor to execute the Regional Communications System Agreement on behalf of the City Council, (Exhibit 4, p. 14). ITEM EXPLANATION: The purpose for the Regional 80O MHz Radio System is to develop regional communications capabilities to cope with potential disaster and major events, to improve inter-agency and intra-agency communications and to provide theneeded technology for all participants to meet their communications needsfor the future. The Regional 800 MHz Radio System will serve essential public safetyagencies as well as the day-to-day operations of public service agencies. Thissystem has been in the developmental stage for several years and will encompass San Diego County, Imperial County, and the portion of Riverside County covered by CALTRANS District 11. Staff believes that implementation of the communications system as proposedis what's best for the citizens of Carlsbad and should result in significantimprovement in San Diego County and Imperial County's ability to respond to citizen requests for service and to react to major disasters. On February 15, 1994, the City of Carlsbad adopted Resolution No. 94-59. approving the Resolution of Consent for the inclusion of the City of Carlsbad in a proposed County Service Area to participate in a regional communicationssystem (Exhibit 6, p. 38). It was the intent of the County to fund the Infrastructure and Backbone of thesystem via a County Service Area (CSA) which establishes a service fee for each property parcel in each participating jurisdiction as well as county areas. In addition to the service fee for the infrastructure and backbone, the City of Carlsbad will need to fund communications equipment and radios for localuse. This funding will be accomplished by establishing the City of Carlsbadproperty parcels as a "zone" of the County Service Area and to include anadditional property assessment to cover those costs. On June 21, 1994, the Board of Supervisors approved the financing plan for the Regional Communications System subject to the formation of the CSA. Additionally, the Board directed the Chief Administrative Officer to negotiate Agreements With participating agencies and return for final approval. Page 2 of AB # A Local Area Formation Commission (LAFCO) hearing was held on October 3, 1994, to judge whether the Regional Communications System request for the formation ofa CSA was appropriate. After hearing comments, the LAFCOboard passed the request unanimously and forwarded a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors for a public hearing. The 30 day LAFCO appeal period ended on November 3, 1994, with no appeals having been filed. On December 6, 1994, the Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution to form CSA No. 135, which includes all the territory in the County of San Diego, excepting the following cities: Chula Vista, Coronado, El Cajon, Escondido, La Mesa, National City, Oceanside, San Diego, and Santee. The Board also formed 12 zones including the nine cities and three fire districts which had adopted* resolutions of consent. The Board deleted 2one J which encompassed the unincorporated areas of San Diego County and choseto fund their portion through Teter Fund Reserves. The Zones are as follows: 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, CityofPoway. 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 automatically be included in the zone of the respective city and. if applicable, detached fromthe unincorporated zone. In addition, all future annexations of territory to theabove fire protection districts will also be automatically included in the zone of the respective fire protection district. FISCAL IMPACT: The estimated one-time costs of implementing the proposed regional 800MHz trunked radio system backbone is approximately $28 million, whichdoes not include the cost of individual city equipment. As proposed, the costof the trunked radio backbone, data backbone, and microwave system would be financed through the CSA. This approach was selected because it will minimize the fiscal impact of theprocurement on the participating agencies and distribute costs to areas thatwill benefit from the system implementation. In addition, the cost of agency user equipment can be included in the CSA that will allow agencies with limited access to funds to purchase equipment. Page 3 of AB # This proposal requires the City Council to Adopt Resolution No.approving a budget for CSA No. 135 and requesting the levy of benefit chargesfor CSA No. 135 for the inclusion of the City of Carlsbad in the regional publicsafety 800 MHz radio communication system. This assessment, when analyzed over the entire city, produces an estimated single-family parcel assessment of $22.89 per year. This parcel assessment will be dependent on the rate of interest acquired at the time of bondissuance and would be levied with the 1995-96 tax bill, All costs are displayed with the assumption of amortized money at 7 percent. Carlsbad's share of the initial costs to fund the system is $5,225,610,amortized over 15 years = $9,991,975. In addition, an annual backbone maintenance fee of $99,000 is needed x 15 years = $1,485,000. The approximate total cost for the system over 15 years is $11,476,975. The totalannual 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 (mountain top sites and microwave links to dispatch centers) is $1,590,132. This can be paid up front from city sources, or as recommended through the establishment of a CSA parcel based fee. The attached schedule shows the cost to all parcels, with the estimated cost per year for a single family residence being d>5.89 for backbone expenses. 2. Data Backbone/AVL and User Equipment The estimated cost for the data backbone, Automatic Vehicle Locater (AVL), dispatch center upgrades and Carlsbad specific equipment such as vehicle and hand-held radios is $3,635,478. If not paid directly fromexisting city sources, this cost can be borne by the locaf Carlsbad, Zone Aof CSA No, 135. The cost for this portion per single-family residence isestimated to be $13.59. 3. Backbone Maintenance The estimated cost for annual maintenance which includes radios,backbone system and an appropriate reserve fund for emergencies is $25 per radio, per month. For Carlsbad this totals $99,000 annually. Themaintenance cost per single-family residence added to the Carlsbad, Zone A of CSA No. 135, is estimated at $3.40. The total estimated cost of all three expense areas per single-family residence would be $22.89 paid annually on the tax roll to CSA No. 135 (See Exhibit 2, p. 12). Page 4 of AB # '"*, O&>9 If Carlsbad decides to use the local Zone A, of CSA No. 135 to finance its user equipment, it has options on how to set up the local Zone budget, The city can adopt a different parcel cost allocation formula for local Zone A costs, or use the countywide backbone formula. Carlsbad could also choose to not use the countywide backbone formula at all and adopt a formula of its own to coverboth costs. If this occurs, the debt for Tbackbone expenses would be considered a lump sum payment made by the local Zone of CSA No. 135. The Carlsbad City Council will control the rate structure and budget for the localzone, and the Board of Supervisors will set the backbone CSA rates submitted to them by the Regional Communications Board. There are other financing options for this proposal other than therecommended use of a CSA parcel based assessment. Carlsbad could pay some, or all, of its regional 800 Mhz costs from local sources such as reserves or local debt financing. However, staff believes the Regional Communications Board will get excellent bond rates if it finances the whole system including the Sheriffs equipment along with backbone system expenses. If city reserves are used to fund our costs, the result is reduced flexibility for other city ofCarlsbad needs that do not have the option of funding through a CSA. Staff recommends the use of the countywide CSA rate structure for both backbone and local zone costs. The table in Exhibit A to Exhibit 1, p. 8 & 9, illustrates the annual per parcel assessment for each type of property use andassumes the CSA picks up the entire cost. ORDINANCES AND BENEFIT CHARGES Government Code Section 25210.77(a) provides authority for the Board of Supervisors to fix and collect charges on the tax roll for miscellaneousextended services and implementation requires an Ordinance. An annualreport listing the charges for each parcel and public hearing by the Board are also required. The procedures occur annually at the end of July or the beginning of August. Ordinances for the CSA and Zones for the nine cities and the unincorporatedarea are part of the Board action. Ordinances presented for adoption for theCSA and ten Zones have the formula as listed in Exhibit A, to Exhibit 1, p. 8 &9. The formula for mobile homes assures that they will not be double charged by not charging mobile homes renting space in a mobile home park. The owner of the park would be charged according to the number of spaces. The formula also provides that agricultural land would only be charged for dwelling units. There is no other charge for agricultural land. Since the size of parcels vary so greatly for the mining and recreational uses, the formula proposes an acreage charge rather than a flat parcel charge. Page5ofAB# l?t Otsfl GOVERNANCE The Board of Directors, San Diego County staff, Imperial County staff,CALTRANS, and agencies with San Diego County have collaborated for more than a year and a half to forge a Regional Communications System Agreement that is in the best interests of all the participating parties. As required by California law, the Board of Supervisors has the ultimate legal and fiscal responsibility for the CSA budget. Subject to such ultimate control, the Board of Supervisors on March 7, 1995, delegated the fiscal and operational administration of the Regional Communications System (RCS) to the Regional Communications System Board of Directors by a signed Regional Communications System Agreement, (Exhibit 4, p. 14). The Executive Board of the RCS consists of 15 members representing fire protection and law enforcement agencies in San Diego and Imperial Counties and would include CALTRANS ana two delegates at large from public service agencies (see list of participating agencies, Exhibit 4, p. 20 & 21) The development of the Agreement, detailing the cooperative manner inwhich the RCS will be governed, marks a pivotal milestone in the most far reaching regionalization endeavor in San Diego County history. Therefore, staff recommends the City Council adopt the attached Resolution approving a budget for CSA No. 135 and requesting the levy of benefit chargesfor CSA No. 135 and Zone A. for the inclusion of the City of Carlsbad in the regional public safely 800 MHz radio communication system; Approve and authorize the Mayor to execute the Regional Communications System Agreement on behalf of the City Council.

Data Processing These are the costs incurred in processing benefit charges. The amount budgeted was based on like-sized Independent Districts. Data processing tasks may include: (1) generating early computer runs to help the CSA and zones identify trailer parks, (2) processing changes, and (3) generating the final tape to submit to 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 Auditor and Controller Office and is mandated by State of California Government Code Section 26909. This law states that audits must be completed and financial statements be filed with the State 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 based 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. O Printed on recycled paper -2- January 17, 1995 Number of Benefit Units The number of benefit units was based on the formula that your governing bodies are being asked to approve. Cost per Benefit Unit The estimated cost per benefit unit was based on 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.

Purpose and Intent of Agreement 1.1. This Memorandum of Agreement dated as of March 7, 1995, between the parties named in Exhibit "A" and the County of San Diego, a political 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. 1.2. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to lessen participating member jurisdictions' authority over and responsibility for events occurring within their jurisdiction. 1.3. 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 25210.1 et. seq. 1.4. For participating agencies deciding to use CSA 135 to fund their system costs, the County intends to levy parcel charges according to benefit per §25210.77aGC. NOW THEREFORE, THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE AS FOLLOWS: 2. Regional Communications System (RCS) Overview 2.1. The RCS will replace the participating public service and public safety agencies' existing radio communication systems throughout San Diego and Imperial counties with a modern, trunked radio system. 2.2. 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. 2.3. 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. 2.4. For the purposes of this Agreement, Public Safety and Public Service agencies are defined to include: ^^B ^^H San Pifigo County -Imperial County Participating Agency Agreement Regional Communications System 2.4.1. PuW/c Safety includes all law enforcement, fire service, EMS and disaster preparedness agencies in San Diego County and Imperial County. 2.4.2. Public Service includes the State of California Department of Transportation (CALTRANS) District 11 and other participating agencies in the counties of San Diego and Imperial whose primary responsibility is providing citizens with services other than law enforcement, fire service and disaster preparedness. 2.5. All law enforcement, fire service, disaster preparedness and participating public service agencies in San Diego County and Imperial County shall have access to mutual aid communications capabilities. 2.6. Communications with agencies that have installed their own 800 MHz radio systems shall be facilitated via interfaces to the RCS. 3. Agreement Contingencies This agreement is void unless financing for the radio system infrastructure is approved by the San Diego County Board of Supervisors and the necessary financing closes. As to the County of Imperial, this Agreement shall terminate if a CSA or other funding mechanism for communications purposes is not established within two years of the date of this Agreement. 4. RCS Participants 4.1. The RCS shall be designed to support the requirements of San Diego and Imperial county public safety and designated public service participants. 4.2. CALTRANS radio requirements shall be supported throughout District 11, which includes the counties of San Diego and Imperial in their entirety. 4.3. All participants shall receive equitable representation on the Regional Communications System Member Board (RCS Member Board) as set forth in this Agreement. 4.4. As part of implementing this agreement, participating agencies shall co- license or transfer their currently allocated 800 MHz frequencies to the County of San Diego for use in the RCS. 4.5. No actions by the RCS Board of Directors, by the County of San Diego or by the County of Imperial may be so broad in nature that they negatively affect or impact the operational or legal integrity of its individual member agencies. 5. Additional Participants 5.1. As system capacity permits, the RCS Board of Directors may approve other agencies joining the RCS on a case-by-case basis after the date of this Agreement. 5.2. Priority consideration shall be given to agencies with licensed, public safety/public service 800 MHz frequencies that can be co-licensed or trans- March 7,1995 Page 2 San Diego County-Impfiriil County Participating Agency Agreement ferred to the RCS, if such action can result in enhanced radio communications capabilities for all participants. 6. Performance Requirements 6.1.

The costs of ongoing operations and maintenance on the voice system and the mobile data system shall be determined separately, since not all agencies will decide to use both systems. Therefore, the monthly operating fees for radios on each system may be different. 17.4.2. After resolving which agencies are participating and determining the actual number of radios to be included in each system (voice and data), the cost per agency shall be finalized. 17.4.3. The final cost shall be in effect for a period of one year and shall be adjusted annually to reflect actual costs. 17.5. Reserve Funds in CSA135 Account 17.5.1.

In order to terminate participation prior to the end of the fifteen year term, the withdrawing agency must provide no less than a one year written notice of intent to terminate participation. 22.2. Termination shall be granted provided that the withdrawing party: 22.2.1. Returns to the RCS all equipment for value that the RCS Board of Directors determines is required to maintain the RCS for all remaining users; and, 22.2.2. If the termination compromises the legality of the CSA benefit charges in the jurisdiction of the withdrawing agency, such agency shall be responsible for the remaining debt payments which would have aggregated from the CSA. 22.2.3. If an agency that brought frequencies to the RCS opts to terminate, the RCS Board of Directors shall negotiate a settlement that either returns the same or equivalent operable frequencies, or provides equitable compensation if frequencies are left with the RCS. 23. Arbitration 23.1. If settlement on an issue cannot be reached between the grieving or terminating agency and the RCS Board of Directors, binding arbitration shall be employed to reach a settlement. 23.2. The arbitrator shall be selected by mutual agreement of the RCS Board of Directors and the terminating agency. 23.3. It shall be the duty of the arbitrator to hear and consider evidence submitted by the parties and to thereafter make written findings of fact and a disposition of the settlement which shall be binding in nature, except as to issues of law. 23.4. Each party to a hearing before an arbitrator shall bear his own expenses in connection therewith. 23.5. All fees and expenses of the arbitrator shall be borne one-half by remaining members of the RCS and one-half by the grieving or withdrawing agency.
