The proclamation allowed the City of Arcadia to apply for federal aid through the Federal Highway Administration's Emergency Relief (ER) Program. In order to receive $539,943 in federal aid funds, the Arcadia City Council must approve Program Supplement Agreement No. N013. It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 7010 approving Program Supplement Agreement No. N013 to encumber federal aid funds for emergency debris removal on various streets in the City due to the December 2011 Windstorm Event. DISCUSSION On December 9, 2011, Governor Brown issued an emergency proclamation for Los Angeles County following the severe windstorm that began on November 30, 2011. The proclamation allowed local agencies to receive assistance through the Federal Highway Administration's ER Program. Through this funding opportunity, debris removal within the right -of -way of all federal -aid highways was eligible for reimbursement. This included regular and overtime hours spent on clearing debris on eligible streets, equipment used to remove the debris (owned or rented), cost to transport debris, public safety overtime spent directing traffic on eligible streets, replacing damaged traffic control devices, and emergency contracts for debris clearance. Resolution No. 7010 February 18, 2014 Page 2 of 2 In June 2012, City staff reviewed the map of federal -aid eligible roadways provided by Caltrans and identified all eligible streets in the City of Arcadia. A damage assessment form was completed and the City requested $539,943. As a result, on December 23, 2013, Caltrans issued a Funding Authorization letter approving the City's application for federal aid in that same amount. In December 1997, the City Council entered into a Master Agreement No. 07-5131R with the State of California for the expenditure of federal aid funds on local transportation projects. The Master Agreement requires that for every federally- funded project, a Supplemental Agreement to the Master Agreement be executed by the City and approved by the State. Therefore, the City Council must execute Supplement Agreement No. N013, in order to receive funding (See attached Resolution No. 7010). FISCAL IMPACT The total cost for the 2011 Windstorm emergency debris removal, including equipment cost, public safety overtime spent on eligible streets, replacement of damaged traffic control devices, contracted services, mulching, and rental equipment was $1,623,018. Of this amount, $539,943 is eligible for federal aid reimbursement through this Supplement Agreement. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 7010 approving Program Supplement Agreement No. N013 to encumber federal aid funds for emergency debris removal on various streets in the City due to the December 2011 Windstorm Event.
