BACKGROUND: The Disaster Mitigation Act (DMA) of 2000 (Public Law 106-390) requires local governments to develop and adopt pre-disaster mitigation plans. To satisfy grant requirements under the DMA, State of California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) requires that the City Council authorize, by adoption of a resolution, specified staff to act on behalf of the City for all actions related to the grant. Based on staff responsibilities in grants and financial management involving homeland security, fire prevention, and law enforcement, three listed positions (Finance Director, Fire Chief, and Emergency Management Coordinator) were selected as the most appropriate to execute the required documents for and on behalf of the City. On April 15, 2019, the City Council adopted a resolution authorizing the Finance Director, Fire, and Emergency Management Project Manager to execute all documents required to accept and obtain hazard mitigation and pre-disaster mitigation grant funding. ANALYSIS: Since the April 15, 2019 City Council meeting, it has become necessary to add the Director of Public Works to the Designated Applicants agent list on Cal OES Form 130. This will permit Public Works staff to correspond with Cal OES and FEMA staff in a timely manner and execute all documents required to accept and obtain hazard mitigation and pre-disaster mitigation grant funding. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.
