TITLE
Recommendation to adopt resolution authorizing designated City officials to execute documents pertaining to financial assistance for costs incurred for declared disasters by the State and Federal Governments. (Citywide)
DISCUSSION
The State of California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) requires that each city and county seeking aid for a declared disaster provide a Resolution that declares the positions of the officials that are authorized to act as designated City agents. This Resolution must be updated every three years. The City of Long Beach last provided this documentation to CalOES in December 2014.
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Monica J. Kilaita on February 5, 2018, and by Revenue Management Officer Geraldine Alejo February 15, 2018.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council action is requested on March 13, 2018, to ensure the continuity of compliance with State regulations related to state and federal disaster reimbursements.
FISCAL IMPACT
The submission of this Resolution and CalOES Form 130 will enable the City to recover costs associated with future declared disaster events. There is no local job impact associated with this recommendation.
SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve recommendation.
Respectfully Submitted,
REGINALD I. HARRISON
DIRECTOR OF DISASTER PREPAREDNESS AND EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS
