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 Califomia 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 aze currently 18 CBAG
positions with the City of Chula Vista that are fully funded from the Office of National Drug
Control Policy (ONDCP).
Per HIDTA policy, the CBAG Executive Director and CBAG Deputy Executive Director
positions are tied to the Federal General Schedule Salary Table. Approval of this
resolution will amend the City's Compensation Plan to reflect eligible step increases
based upon the Federal General Schedule salary guidelines, as indicated in the table
below.
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. Staff is not
independently awaze, nor has staff been informed by any City Councilmember, of any
other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this
matter.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
The City is fully reimbursed for CBAG positions and receives a 4% administrative fee to
act as a fiscal agent. The costs of the compensation adjustments for the CBAG Executive
Director &CBAG Deputy Executive Director will be completely offset by personnel
savings of current CBAG vacant positions, resulting in no net fiscal impact.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
There is no ongoing fiscal impact approving the compensation of these two grant-funded
positions. The proposed CBAG budget will incorporate anticipated salary adjustments
for the CBAG Executive Director &CBAG Deputy Executive Director, and the funding
from ONDCP will fully offset these costs.
ATTACHMENTS
None.
