California Dept of Forestry and Fire ProtectionSTATE OF CALIFORNIA—NATURAL RESOURCES AGENCY Gavin Newsom, Governor CAL FIRE SINCE 1885 DEPARTMENT OF FORESTRY AND FIRE PROTECTION P.O. Box 944246 SACRAMENTO, CA 94244-2460 (916) 653-7772 Website: www.fire.ca.gov 10/30/2020 To City of Poway, Over the last decade there has been a steady decline of eligible inmates within the conservation camp program due to the implementation of new laws. In 2011, AB 109 (known as Safety Realignment) went into effect. This reform shifted incarceration and supervision responsibility for many lower level felons from the state prison system to County Sheriff and probation departments. In 2014, Prop 47 went into effect, which changed certain low-level crimes from potential felonies to misdemeanors. Shortly after, in 2016 Prop 57 passed, allowing parole consideration for nonviolent felons and authorizing sentence credits for rehabilitation, good behavior and education. On June 29, 2020, the Governor signed the legislatively approved 2020 Budget Act, through which CAL FIRE and CDCR were directed to depopulate a total of eight conservation camps. As a result, the CAL FIRE San Diego Unit will no longer be able to provide any type of sponsor work, effective November 1, 2020. On behalf of CAL FIRE Unit Chief Tony Mecham, we want to express our sincere appreciation for the many years of valued cooperative partnership in making San Diego a safer community. Thank you, Todd Phillips Division Chief Puerta La Cruz Conservation Camp "The Department of Forestry and Fire Protection serves and safeguards the people and protects the property and resources of California." 1 STATE OF CALIFORNIA, NATURAL RESOURCES AGENCY DEPARTMENT OF FORESTRY AND FIRE PROTECTION CONSERVATION CAMP PROGRAM PROJECT REQUEST AND RECORD FC -32 (REV. 01/19) MOU # 3LU9L013 PROJECT NAME CITY OF POWAY Page 1 of 3 DATE July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020 FC -79 CODING PM t �n� ?' ;.. u ,co .. = ' CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF FORESTRY AND FIRE PROTECTION NAME Puerta La Cruz CC #14 ADDRESS 32363 Highway 79 CITY, STATE, ZIP Warner Springs, CA 92086 PHONE (760) 782-3559 1 x SPONSORING AGENCY -f NAME City of Poway rv,4 ADDRESS 14467 Lake Poway Road CITY, STATE, ZIP Powa , CA 92074 1 x Af PHONE (858) 668-4765 it i..

WHEREAS, CAL FIRE is authorized under Public Resources and Penal Codes to utilize inmates, or wards, assigned to conservation camps to perform the work of CAL FIRE; WHEREAS, through contracts or cooperative agreement CAL FIRE may permit inmates, or wards to be used in the performance of conservation projects, fuels management and or hazard reduction (which could include slash and pile burning) for a public agency (local, state, or federal) or a qualified nonprofit organization under policies established by the Prison Industries Authority; and WHEREAS, the Sponsor has a need for assistance in performing such projects, The parties agree as follows: A. The Sponsor shall submit project proposals on a form approved by CAL FIRE (currently an FC -32). By doing so, with reference to any such proposals subsequently approved by the CAL FIRE, Sponsor agrees 1. Pay for all costs directly related to and necessitated by such projects, except for wages, salaries, and other remuneration paid to CAL FIRE employees, inmates, or wards, and the cost of their support. 2. Demonstrate the availability of adequate plans and specifications, sufficient funds, materials, supplies, and equipment, adequate technical supervision and any special labor requirements to complete such projects. 3. Obtain the approvals, notification, and permits required by any state, federal, or local agency necessary to commence construction, fuels management, or operation of such projects. 4. Hold an orientation meeting with CAL FIRE at the commencement of such projects to explain the technical aspects, execution of, and need for such projects. B. From proposals submitted by the Sponsor, CAL FIRE shall select those projects meeting the priorities and resources of CAL FIRE. CAL FIRE shall submit evaluations to Sponsor that set forth any special requirements or conditions related to the projects. By so doing, with reference to any such evaluations subsequently approved by Sponsor, CAL FIRE agrees to provide labor, crew, supervision, normal transportation, food, and such tools as CAL FIRE determines to be available. Upon receipt of Sponsor's acceptance of such evaluations, projects shall be assigned to a conservation camp where they will be scheduled in accordance with the priorities and resources of CAL FIRE. C. Timing 1. Sponsor recognizes that fire suppression and other emergency activities have priority over any other work for conservation camp crews. 2. Sponsor further recognizes that the resources of CAL FIRE are limited and the public service conservation work of CAL FIRE may be altered in priority form time to time. 3. Projects will be performed within the rules and regulations of CAL FIRE which may require temporary suspension or permanent cessation of projects due to emergency conditions as defined by such rules and regulations. 4. The Parties agree that any justified delays by either party shall be excused and costs caused by such delays shall be borne by the party incurring such costs. D. Work performed under this MOU will be under the immediate supervision of CAL FIRE officials.

All improvements constructed in whole or in part on lands owned or controlled by Sponsor will remain the property of Sponsor. G. Permission to perform work on lands owned or controlled by Sponsor does not in any way convey to CAL FIRE, its staff or any persons working with CAL FIRE in the performance of said work, employee status that would extend to them the benefits afforded to permanent employees of Sponsor. H. Upon completion of each project, or any phase thereof, permission is hereby granted to CAL FIRE to place upon the project site a sign or emblem consistent in size and design to its surroundings, indicating the participation of CAL FIRE and the year thereof.

K. Neither party may assign this MOU or any interest herein without the written consent of the other party. L. Subject to the provisions herein, all remedies allowed by law are available to either party for enforcement of this MOU. Any waiver of rights by either party on any matter related to this MOU shall not be deemed to be a waiver on any other matter relating to the MOU. M.
