DISCUSSION
The Police Department entered into an agreement with the Office of National Drug Control
Policy in 1996 to be the fiscal agent for the California Border Alliance Group (CBAG).
CBAG is part of the Southwest Border High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (SWHIDTA).
In essence, the City receives full funding, plus a 4% administrative fee, to hire and
administer salary and benefits for CBAG positions. To date, there are currently 16 CBAG
positions with the City of Chula Vista that are fully funded from the Office ofNational Drug
Control Policy (ONDCP).
Due to increased responsibilities, the CBAG Executive Director has requested a salary
increase for the CBAG Network Manager. The CBAG Network Manager establishes and
directs the strategic long-term goals, policies and procedures for the Information
Technology Unit and determines hardware/software needs to accomplish the objectives
of the California Border Alliance Group (CBAG), Imperial Valley Law Enforcement
Coordination Center (IVLECC) and the San Diego Law Enforcement Coordination
Center (SDLECC).
The CBAG Network Manager's job duties have increased exponentially over the last five
years. Since the creation of the CBAG Network Manager position, an entirely new
building and extensive Information Technology (IT) infrastructure was built to house the
SDLECC Fusion Center and the addition of approximately 80 personnel at this site. The
CBAG Network Manager now has extensive duties to include representing San Diego
law enforcement IT professionals in meetings and committees. His increased duties
include managing the IT budget across multiple funding sources, managing quality
assurance, planning and directing the IT systems for three separate physical building
infrastructures, and managing IT systems for multiple agencies.
The E step salary for a CBAG Network Manager is currently $96,795, and the proposed
compensation is the same salary scale as a CBAG Program Manager, which is $106,342
at E step. The CBAG Network Manager will remain in the Mid-Manager Unclassified
(MMUC) group. The annual impact of this salary increase (including PERS and
Medicare costs) is $12,127. Because the City is fully reimbursed for CBAG positions
and receives a 4% administrative fee to act as a fiscal agent, there will actually be a
positive impact to the General Fund for this salary increase.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is
not site specific and consequently the 500 foot rule found in California Code of
Regulations section 18704.2(a)(1) is not applicable to this decision.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of this resolution will result in the appropriation of $12,127 to the personnel
services category of the Police Grant Fund. These personnel costs are fully reimbursed
by the California Border Alliance Group, and the City receives a 4% administrative fee
for acting as the fiscal intermediary for CBAG. Because of the 4% administrative fee,
there is a positive impact of $485 to the General Fund.
