Authorize Acceptance of Additional Public Health Infrastructure and Workforce Grant
Funding (Districts: All)
Overview
The Strengthening U.S. Public Health Infrastructure, Workforce, and Data Systems grant (PHIG)
is a groundbreaking investment that supports critical public health infrastructure needs of
jurisdictions across the United States. This funding is intended to modernize public health
jurisdictions to expand, improve, and strengthen public health services to better prepare and
respond to future emergencies. The County of San Diego (County) Public Health Services
Department (PHS) aligns with this action through its commitment to promote health and
improve quality of life by preventing disease, injury and disability and by protecting against and
responding to health threats and disasters.
On January 24, 2023 (07), the San Diego County Board of Supervisors (Board) authorized the
acceptance of $33,336,020 in Strengthening U.S. Public Health Infrastructure, Workforce, and
Data Systems from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for the term of
December 1, 2022, through November 30, 2027. The $33,336,020 included $27,007,405 for
PHIG Strategy A1: Workforce and $6,328,615 for PHIG Strategy A2: Foundational Capabilities.
For PHIG Strategy A2: Foundational Capabilities, the actual award is more than the originally
anticipated amount. With this additional funding, the County has exceeded the amount
authorized in the prior Board action. This funding will enable us to sustain our current Public
Health Infrastructure Initiatives by maintaining existing staff levels and supporting efforts
necessary to continue delivering critical services. It will also ensure uninterrupted
implementation of program activities while preserving the capacity needed to meet project
objectives and community needs.
Today’s action requests the Board authorize the acceptance of an additional estimated
$3,799,610 in funding for PHIG Strategy A2: Foundational Capabilities, for a revised award
amount of $10,128,225 for the period of December 1, 2022 through November 30, 2027 and to
apply for additional funding opportunities to further develop and strengthen the public health
workforce.
Today's action 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 ensuring the local health
department can continue to proficiently improve the health and well-being of San Diego County
residents
Recommendation by Chief Administrative Officer:
1) Authorize acceptance of an additional estimated $3,799,610 in Strengthening U.S. Public
Health Infrastructure, Workforce, and Data Systems Grant-Strategy A2: Foundational
Capabilities from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, for a revised total

services to better prepare and respond to future emergencies, and authorize the Chief
Administrative Officer, or designee, to execute all required funding documents, upon
receipt, including any extensions, amendments, and/or revisions thereto that do not
materially impact or alter the services or funding level.
2) Authorize the Chief Administrative Officer, or designee, to apply for any additional
funding opportunities, if available, to further develop and strengthen the public health
workforce and infrastructure.
Equity Impact Statement
The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of a robust public health workforce to
address historical and current health inequities and disparities. In 2020, the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) updated the 10 Essential Public Health Services framework, with
‘equity’ as the center. In 2021 the Council on Linkages updated the Core Competencies for
Public Health Professionals to include a health equity skills domain. Additionally, in 2022 the
Foundational Capabilities of Public Health were updated by the Public Health National Center
for Innovations, and equity was underscored as a key component and foundational element of the
capabilities. As such, the County of San Diego (County) Health and Human Services Agency,
Public Health Services (PHS) intends to strengthen foundational capabilities through training,
technical assistance, working group meetings, sharing of tools and resources as well as program
and project-based efforts.
The health equity goal of the grant funding will support local equity advancements in the
community, improve data and health literacy, and provide access to participate in a national
health equity working group to share best practices. In addition, PHS will expand the provision
of forums and opportunities for direct access, conversation, and engagement with communities
to identify and understand key health needs, gaps, and opportunities. Through the Strengthening
U.S. Public Health Infrastructure, Workforce, and Data Systems grant, PHS will have the
opportunity to be part of a national consortium of experts on health equity with other local health
departments and the CDC. Acceptance of this grant funding allows for a more robust public
health workforce to advance health equity, diversity, and inclusion in San Diego County. Grant
funds will also assist the County’s public health workforce to receive training in the ten essential
services, foundational capabilities, and core competencies, including equity skills such as data
literacy, health literacy, cultural responsiveness, and racial equity.
Sustainability Impact Statement
Today’s action supports the County of San Diego (County) Sustainability Goal #1 to collaborate
with community partners and advocate for environmental justice for communities that have been
disproportionately impacted by pandemics, such as COVID-19, by expanding the provision of
forums and opportunities for direct access, conversation, and engagement with communities and
populations to identify and understand key health needs, gaps, and opportunities. Additionally,
today’s action supports Sustainability Goal #2 to provide just and equitable access to services
and Sustainability Goal #4 to protect health and wellbeing of everyone in the region by
sustaining the capacity of the County Health and Human Services Agency, Public Health
Services to support the region during public health emergencies or infectious disease outbreaks.
Fiscal Impact
Funds for this request are included in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-28 Operational Plan in the
Health and Human Services Agency. If approved, this request will result in estimated costs and

revenue of $2,217,517 in FY 2026-27 and estimated costs and revenue of $925,437 in FY
2027-28. This additional grant funding of $3,799,610 would bring the total grant award to
$10,128,225. The funding source is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s
Strengthening U.S. Public Health Infrastructure, Workforce, and Data Systems grant. There will
be no change in net General Fund cost and no additional staff years.

Authorize Acceptance of the Black Infant Health and the Perinatal Equity Initiative
Allocations from the California Department of Public Health (Districts: All)
Overview
The San Diego County Board of Supervisors (Board) has supported improving birth outcomes
and reducing infant mortality for over three decades through the approval of the California
Department of Public Health (CDPH) Maternal, Child, and Adolescent Health Division Title V
Maternal and Child Health Block Grant (Title V MCH Block Grant) funding. Most recently, on
October 21, 2025 (10), the Board authorized allocation agreements to accept MCH funding.
The Title V MCH Block Grant funding addresses health and birth equity through a number of
initiatives including the Black Infant Health (BIH) program in San Diego County, which was
established over 35 years ago. The 2018-19 California State Budget Act established the
California Perinatal Equity Initiative (PEI) to expand the BIH program to improve birth
outcomes and reduce mortality in Black infants through evidence-based interventions. Counties
that implemented BIH programs were eligible to receive PEI State General Funds (SGF). On
June 28, 2022 (2), the Board approved the acceptance of the BIH allocation in the amount of
$1,345,415 for the period of July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2023. In addition, on January 24,
2023 (8), the Board approved the acceptance of the BIH expansion allocation in the cumulative
amount of $3,425,400 through June 30, 2026. On October 21, 2025 (10), the Board approved the
acceptance of the PEI allocation in the amount of $484,310 for the period of July 1, 2025,
through June 30, 2026.
Today’s action requests the Board authorize the acceptance of BIH Title V and SGF allocations
from CDPH for the period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 in the amount of $1,828,350,
the acceptance of PEI SGF allocation in the amount of $484,310, and subsequent annual
allocations of $1,828,350 and $484,310 for the period of July 1, 2027 through June 30, 2029 and
to apply for additional funding opportunities to help improve health equity for San Diego County
residents. This funding supports State-mandated Maternal, Child, and Family Health Services
programs designed to improve the health of mothers, infants, children, adolescents, and their
families.
Today’s action 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 improving
access to quality healthcare for mothers, infants, children, adolescents, and families.

Recommendation by the Chief Administrative Officer:
1) Waive Board Policy B-29, Fees, Grants, and Revenue Contracts-Department
Responsibility for Cost Recovery, which requires prior approval of grant applications and
full-cost recovery of grants.
2) Authorize the acceptance of $1,828,350 in allocation funds from the California
Department of Public Health, Maternal, Child, and Adolescent Health Division for the
period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, and subsequent annual allocations of
$1,828,350 for the period of July 1, 2027 through June 30, 2029 for the Black Infant
Health (BIH) program, and authorize the Chief Administrative Officer, or designee, to
execute all required allocation documents, upon receipt, including any extensions,
amendments, and/or revisions thereto that do not materially impact or alter the services
or funding level.
3) Authorize the acceptance of $484,310 in allocation funds from the California Department
of Public Health, Maternal, Child, and Adolescent Health Division for the period of July
1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, and subsequent annual allocations of $484,310 for the
period of July 1, 2027 through June 30, 2029 for the Perinatal Equity Initiative (PEI)
program, and authorize the Chief Administrative Officer, or designee, to execute all
required allocation documents, upon receipt, including any extensions, amendments,
and/or revisions thereto that do not materially impact or alter the services or funding
level.
4) Authorize the Chief Administrative Officer, or designee, to apply for any additional
funding opportunity announcements, if available, to address preventive health care and
early intervention and treatment programs for at-risk women, infants, children, and
families in San Diego County for both BIH and PEI programs.
Equity Impact Statement
In 2024, 8.8% of infants born in San Diego County were born prematurely. Despite the overall
improvements in birth rates, significant disparities persist, with African-American infants more
than 60% more likely to be born preterm than White infants (11.8% compared to 7.2%,
averaging 2022-2024). Similarly, 7.1% of infants in San Diego County were born with low
birthweight in 2024, yet African-American infants were about twice as likely as White infants to
be born with low birthweight (10.9% versus 5.3%, averaging 2022-2024). These disparities
highlight the ongoing need for targeted, culturally responsive maternal and infant health
interventions.
The County of San Diego HHSA Public Health Services administers the Black Infant Health
(BIH) program and the Perinatal Equity Initiative (PEI) to reduce perinatal morbidity and
mortality among disadvantaged populations. Both programs work to address longstanding
inequities in maternal and infant health by expanding access to quality prenatal and postpartum
care, and community resources. . Through the joint BIH-PEI Community Advisory Board,
stakeholders and community members provide critical guidance to ensure services reflect
community needs and lived experiences.
Sustainability Impact Statement
Today’s proposed action supports the County of San Diego Sustainability Goal #1 to engage the
community; Sustainability Goal #2 to provide just and equitable access; and Sustainability Goal

Tuesday, August 18, 2026

#4 to protect the health and well-being of everyone in the region. This will be accomplished by
ensuring that those eligible are provided access to services offered through the Black Infant
Health (BIH) program, and partners of program participants are eligible to receive services
through the Perinatal Equity Initiative (PEI) Fathers First program. Community engagement and
input will continue to be supported through the BIH-PEI Community Advisory Board and the
Family Support Connection collaborative.
Fiscal Impact

Authorize Competitive Solicitation for the Transitional Youth Housing Program (Districts:
All)
Overview
The County of San Diego (County) Health and Human Services Agency, Child and Family
Well-Being (CFWB) provide services to Transition-Age Youth (TAY) involved with the child
welfare and juvenile justice systems. These services support their successful transition to
independent adulthood, with a focus on advancing educational attainment, employment
readiness, emotional well-being, and long-term stability. The Transitional Youth Housing (TYH)
program is a County-administered transitional housing program that supports improved
outcomes for TAY. Since 2012, through partnerships with nonprofit agencies, CFWB has
offered various transitional housing programs for youth ages 18 to 24, providing up to 36 months
of affordable housing alongside comprehensive supportive services to help prevent homelessness
and promote long-term stability. Eligible participants include current and former foster youth
and out-of-home juvenile justice youth, prioritizing foster youth accessing services such as
housing navigation and placement support. Unlike other transitional housing programs, TYH
also serves youth who re-unified with family or entered guardianship after age 16, expanding
access beyond traditional foster youth eligibility. In FY 2025-26, 92 youth received services
through TYH, with approximately 51 unduplicated youth participating in any given month. The
current TYH contract is set to expire on June 30, 2027.

Tuesday, August 18, 2026

On June 8, 2021 (5), the San Diego County Board of Supervisors (Board) authorized a
competitive solicitation for Transitional Youth Housing (TYH) services. Today’s action requests
the Board to authorize the Director of the Department of Purchasing and Contracting to issue a
new competitive solicitation for the TYH program.
Today's action 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 expanding access to
stable, affordable housing for TAY, strengthening pathways to independence, and preventing
homelessness among youth transitioning from the foster care system.
Recommendation by Chief Administrative Officer:
In accordance with Section 401, Article XXIII of the County Administrative Code, authorize the
Director, Department of Purchasing and Contracting, to issue competitive negotiated
procurement for the Transitional Youth Housing Program, and upon successful negotiations and
determination of a fair and reasonable price, award a contract(s) for the period of up to one year
and up to four option years, and up to six additional months if needed, subject to the availability
of funds; and to amend the contract(s) as required to reflect changes in services and funding
allocations, subject to the approval of the Deputy Chief Administrative Officer, Health and
Human Services Agency.
Equity Impact Statement
Research shows that Transition-Age Youth (TAY) leaving foster care continue to face
significant challenges in finding stable housing, accessing education, and achieving long term
well-being. Statewide data indicate that 22-30% of foster youth experience homelessness as they
enter adulthood, compared to only 4% of the general population over their lifetime. Educational
outcomes also differ greatly, with only 8-12% of foster youth earning a 2‑ or 4‑year degree by
age 26, compared to 49% of their peers. In San Diego County, from 2019 to 2024, the number of
youth experiencing homelessness increased by 130, partly due to a 49% rise in Fair Market Rent.
As of 2025, approximately 31% of California transitional‑age foster youth experience
homelessness, roughly one in three.
To ensure equitable access to safe, stable, and affordable housing, CFWB continues to provide
transitional housing programs for youth ages 18 to 24, supporting their transition from
out-of-home placements to independent living and working to prevent homelessness. The
Transitional Youth Housing Program aims to ensure that all participants, including subgroups
such as Black, Indigenous, People of Color, Native Spanish speakers, and LGBTQ youth, have
equal opportunity to secure stable housing by program exit and advance toward key life goals,
including educational or employment attainment, positive physical and mental wellbeing, and
meaningful connections to community.
Sustainability Impact Statement
Today’s actions support the County of San Diego (County) Sustainability Goal #2 to provide just
and equitable access to County services and Sustainability Goal #4 to protect the health and
well-being of everyone in the region. These goals will be accomplished by expanding access to

care and juvenile justice systems.
Fiscal Impact

Approve Intergovernmental Transfer Agreements with California Department of Health
Care Services (Districts: All)
Overview
Medicaid is a means-tested entitlement program that finances the delivery of primary and acute
medical services as well as long-term services and supports to an estimated 74.9 million people
in the United States as of the February 2026 enrollment count. Medi-Cal is the Medicaid
program for California, a public health insurance program that provides needed health care
services to eligible seniors, persons with disabilities, families with children, foster care youth,
pregnant women, and eligible individuals with diseases such as tuberculosis, breast cancer, or
HIV/AIDS. Medi-Cal is financed through State and federal funds.
To support increased State payments to Medi-Cal Managed Care Plans (MCPs), California
counties participating in Medi-Cal Managed Care may enter into Intergovernmental Transfer
(IGT) and Assessment Fee Agreements with the California Department of Health Care Services
(DHCS). IGT agreements consist of the transfer of eligible local funding to DHCS, which the
State then uses to increase the rates it pays the participating MCPs within an actuarially sound
range. Historically, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors (Board) has supported the
County of San Diego’s (County) participation in this program, with the most recent authorization
approved on June 25, 2024 (3). Participating in an IGT Agreement allows the County to utilize
local funds to increase federal matching dollars for Medicaid programs, which can then come to
the County to support services provided to Medi-Cal Managed Care recipients including public
health services, behavioral health services, and services provided to patients of the Edgemoor
Distinct Part Skilled Nursing Facility.
Today’s action requests the Board authorize the Chief Administrative Officer to pursue and
execute IGT and Assessment Fee Agreements with DHCS for the IGT period covering January
1, 2025, through December 31, 2025, and to amend or execute new agreements as necessary
with the participating MCPs. This would enable the Health and Human Services Agency
(HHSA) to draw down approximately $25.7 million in new funding to recover enhanced
reimbursement for Medi-Cal services provided and/or financed by the County to MCP members.

Today’s action 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 using funds to support the
accessibility and delivery of health-related services.
Recommendation by Chief Administrative Officer:
1) Authorize the Chief Administrative Officer, or designee, to pursue Intergovernmental
Transfer agreements with the California Department of Health Care Services.
2) Authorize the Chief Administrative Officer, or designee, upon receipt, to execute
Intergovernmental Agreements Regarding Transfer of Public Funds with the California
Department of Health Care Services for the transfer of approximately $16.5 million in
local funds from the Health and Human Services Agency for the agreement covering the
period of January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025.
3) Authorize the Chief Administrative Officer, or designee, to execute Intergovernmental
Transfer Assessment Fee Agreements with the California Department of Health Care
Services for the transfer of approximately $1.4 million for the period of January 1, 2025
through December 31, 2025, from the Health and Human Services Agency to the
California Department of Health Care Services, and related documents.
4) Authorize the Chief Administrative Officer, or designee, to amend or execute new
agreements as necessary with Molina Healthcare of California, Community Health
Group, Blue Shield of California Promise Health Plan, and Kaiser Foundation Health
Plan, Inc., and to implement the Intergovernmental Transfer agreements. The agreements
will disburse approximately $43.6 million of increased Medi-Cal Managed Care Plan
reimbursement to the Health and Human Services Agency to support health services for
Medi-Cal beneficiaries and other underserved populations, net of a 2-5% administrative
fee calculated on the gross Intergovernmental Transfer agreement amount retained by the
Medi-Cal Managed Care Plans.
a. Agreements for Molina Healthcare of California, Community Health Group, Blue
Shield of California Promise Health Plan cover the period of January 1, 2025
through December 31, 2025.
b. The Agreement with Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc. will be updated to an
agreement that automatically renews for successive one-year terms, unless either
party terminates the agreements based on one of three reasons: (1) participation in
the program is no longer desired, (2) DHCS modifies program requirements, or
(3) DHCS discontinues the program.
5.) Authorize the Chief Administrative Officer, or designee, to execute all required
agreement documents, upon receipt, including any annual extensions, amendments
and/or revisions thereto that do not materially impact or alter the services or funding
level.
Equity Impact Statement
Medi-Cal is the Medicaid program for California, a public health insurance program that
provides needed health care services to eligible individuals. As of March 2026, 890,974
individuals were enrolled in Medi-Cal in the county, representing roughly 27% of the county
population and the fifth largest Medi-Cal population in California. Local data indicates that as of

Tuesday, August 18, 2026

11

February 2026, individuals between 19 to 44 years old represent the largest Medi-Cal population
in San Diego County (35%), followed by children 0 to 18 years old (33%), adults 45 to 64 years
old (19%), and adults 65 years of age and older (13%). The County of San Diego (County)
Health and Human Services Agency is committed to building a health and human service
delivery system which supports the needs of all San Diegans, specifically those most vulnerable.
Participating in an Intergovernmental Transfer (IGT) Agreement allows the County to utilize
local funds to increase federal matching dollars for Medicaid programs, which can then come to
the County to support services provided to Medi-Cal Managed Care recipients including public
health services, behavioral health services, and services provided to patients of the Edgemoor
Distinct Part Skilled Nursing Facility. The County prioritizes equity through the delivery of
services, and funds received through IGT Agreements with the Department of Health Care
Services support the accessibility and delivery of health-related services.
Sustainability Impact Statement
Today’s proposed actions support the County of San Diego Sustainability Goal #2 to provide
just and equitable access, and Sustainability Goal #4 to protect the health and well-being of
everyone in the region. This will be accomplished by maximizing resources available to provide
health-related services to Medi-Cal eligible individuals.
Fiscal Impact
Funds for this request are included in the Fiscal Years (FYs) 2026-28 CAO Recommended
Operational Plan in the Health and Human Services Agency. If approved, this request is
expected to result in annual costs estimated at approximately $17.9 million in FY 2026-27 for
the Intergovernmental Transfer (IGT) period covering January 1, 2025, through December 31,
2025. Of this amount, approximately $16.5 million would fund the IGT and $1.4 million would
cover the State Assessment Fee. In return, the County of San Diego would receive approximately
$43.6 million in revenue for the period from the Managed Care Plans, resulting in an estimated
net increase of $25.7 million in new funds for the fiscal year. The funding sources for the IGT
and State Assessment Fee are local funds, including Realignment. There will be no change in net
General fund costs and no additional staff years.

Equity Impact Statement
The proposed Assessment System Replacement Project will enhance equitable access to property
assessment services by providing a modern, stable, secure, and accessible technology platform
for all County property owners. Modernization will improve timeliness, accuracy, and
transparency of assessment information, strengthen language and accessibility capabilities,
expand digital service options, and reduce barriers associated with manual and paper-based
processes.
These improvements will help ensure that taxpayers, regardless of their community, location, or
background, receive consistent, transparent, and equitable access to property assessment services
while supporting the County's commitment to the fair and equitable administration of California
property tax laws. Enhanced data collection and analytics will also improve

Tuesday, August 18, 2026

13

Assessor/Recorder/County Clerk’s (ARCC) ability to respond to emerging issues affecting
property values and communities, including environmental impacts such as the Tijuana River
sewage crisis, flooding, and fires, while supporting the administration of evolving tax relief
programs and future legislative requirements.
By improving operational efficiency and customer service, the new system will also provide
ARCC employees with modern tools that streamline workflows, reduce reliance on outdated
legacy applications, improve training and knowledge transfer, and enable more consistent
service delivery to residents, businesses, and public agencies. Collectively, these improvements
advance the County's Strategic Plan through enhanced transparency, operational excellence,
innovation, and equitable access to public services.

Sustainability Impact Statement
The proposed Assessment System Replacement Project supports the County’s commitment to
sustainability by modernizing a critical business system with a secure, resilient, and
commercially supported cloud-based technology platform. Transitioning from aging mainframe
and on-premises infrastructure to a cloud environment will improve energy efficiency, optimize
computing resources, and reduce reliance on legacy hardware and data center infrastructure. The
project will also expand digital workflows, electronic records, and online taxpayer services,
reduce paper consumption, and minimize the need for in-person transactions where appropriate.
Beyond environmental benefits, the project promotes the long-term sustainability of County
operations by improving system resiliency, reducing technology obsolescence, and providing a
scalable platform capable of adapting to future business, regulatory, and legislative
requirements. By strengthening operational continuity, responsibly managing County resources,
and supporting efficient service delivery, the project advances the County’s Strategic Plan and its
commitment to sustainable, resilient, and innovative government operations.

Fiscal Impact
Funds for this request are not included in the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Operational Plan in the
Assessor/ Recorder/ County Clerk. If approved, today’s action would result in no additional
costs or revenue in Fiscal Year 2026-27. There is no change in staff years.
There would be estimated costs of approximately $56.7 million in Fiscal Year 2027-28 for the
implementation of the new assessment system, which is anticipated to be supported by long-term
financing (bonds). Bond financing is contingent upon the approval of future Operational Plans
and Board approval of the financing. Ongoing costs of approximately $4.2 million per year for
hosting, licensing, and operations and maintenance are anticipated to begin in Fiscal Year
2029-30. Bond payments and the ongoing annual costs are anticipated to be funded primarily
through a combination of SB 2557 Property Tax Administration Revenue, existing General
Purpose Revenue made available through efficiencies and decommissioning of obsolete systems,
and General Purpose Revenue growth from the collection of additional property taxes due to a
more effective assessment system, as well as some one-time amounts funded by General Fund
fund balance, which includes Fiscal Year 2025-26 Unlocked Reserves, during the transition from
the legacy systems to the new system.
The new assessment system is also anticipated to achieve significant cost avoidance by

Tuesday, August 18, 2026

14

eliminating the need to continue the operation and maintenance of a physical data center
necessary to retain the legacy systems. The final project and ongoing annual costs, once
determined and subject to the approval of the Chief Administrative Officer, and revenues will be
included for consideration in future Operational Plans.

Business Impact Statement
N/A

Advisory Board Statement
The Debt Advisory Committee, composed of the Chief Financial Officer, the Auditor and
Controller, and the Treasurer-Tax Collector, concurs with this recommendation.

Background
The County of San Diego (County) Assessor/Recorder/County Clerk (ARCC) relies on a
property assessment system that has supported the administration of California's property tax
laws for more than three decades. Over time, the system has expanded to include numerous
interconnected applications and custom-developed solutions supporting property assessment,
assessment appeals, exemptions, ownership changes, mapping, business personal property, tax
roll production, and other critical business functions. While these systems enabled ARCC to
successfully administer one of the largest assessment rolls in California, they are becoming
increasingly difficult and costly to maintain. It is also anticipated that a new system would
achieve significant cost avoidance by eliminating the need for the County to continue the
operation and maintenance of costly physical data centers that would have been necessary to
retain the existing legacy systems.
The current environment relies on legacy mainframe technology, legacy applications, custom
programming, and complex system interfaces that require specialized technical expertise to
support daily operations. As these technologies continue to age, the availability of skilled
resources capable of maintaining them has significantly declined, increasing operational risk and
reducing the ARCC's ability to adapt to evolving business needs and legislative requirements. In
addition, the existing system architecture limits opportunities to automate manual processes,
improve data accessibility, strengthen cybersecurity, and deliver the modern digital services
expected by today's taxpayers and County employees.
Each year, ARCC administers approximately 1.1 million real and business property assessments,
producing the local property tax roll that generates more than $8 billion in annual property tax
revenue supporting schools, cities, special districts, and essential County services. Given the
critical role the assessment system plays in stabilizing this revenue, continued reliance on aging
technology presents an increasing operational and financial risk to the County.
Modern assessment systems have evolved significantly. They have become much more
affordable and are now successfully supporting assessment operations in numerous California
counties. These solutions incorporate industry best practices, provide enhanced security and
resiliency, reduce dependence on custom programming, and offer ongoing vendor-supported
enhancements that help agencies remain compliant with changing statutory and business
requirements. A modern assessment system will improve operational efficiency, strengthen
business continuity, enhance customer service, and position ARCC to meet future workload
demands while maintaining high levels of service to the public.
The recommended action authorizes the Director, Department of Purchasing and Contracting to
Tuesday, August 18, 2026

15

issue a competitive solicitation for the procurement and implementation of a modern property
assessment system Conducting an open procurement will allow ARCC to evaluate qualified
vendors, identify the solution that best meets the County's operational and statutory
requirements, and secure the best value combination of functionality, implementation expertise,
long-term support, and overall costs.

Linkage to the County of San Diego Strategic Plan
This action supports the County of San Diego 2026-2031 Strategic Plan, with a focus on the
Empower Initiative, by modernizing a critical County business system that strengthens
operational excellence, transparency, innovation, and customer service. Replacing ARCC’s
aging property assessment system with a modern, integrated platform will provide employees
with timely, reliable, and accessible information to support informed decision-making, improve
accountability, and enhance continuity of operations. The project will also expand digital
services, improve customer experience for property owners, and position the County and ARCC
to deliver efficient, secure, and resilient property assessment services while responsibly
stewarding public resources and supporting future innovation.

policies, and operations. These actions are legally separate from the Board’s actions as the
County of San Diego, and they apply only to the area and responsibilities of the special district.
