STAFF REPORT

SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 7011 AUTHORIZING DESIGNATED STAFF TO FILE
WITH THE CALIFORNIA OFFICE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES
REQUESTS FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER THE NATURAL
DISASTER ASSISTANCE ACT AND SIMILAR STATUES
Recommendation: Adopt
SUMMARY
The State of California requires cities to designate by resolution employees who have
authority to apply for financial assistance in the event of a disaster. Additionally, the
State of California requires that cities update State Office of Emergency Services (OES)
Form 130 as needed designating specific individuals in those positions. It is
recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 7011 authorizing the City
Manager, the Fire Chief, and the Public Works Services Director as the three authorized
agents to apply for disaster financial assistance with the California Office of Emergency
Services.
DISCUSSION
Every three years, the State of California requires that cities provide an updated
resolution designating specific City positions that are authorized to apply for Federal
and State financial assistance. In 2011, the City Council designated the City Manager,
the Fire Chief, and the Public Works Services Director as the three authorized agents to
apply for financial assistance on behalf of the City in the event of a disaster. Under the
proposed Resolution, the same staff would be designated to apply for assistance.
In addition to a City resolution, the State of California Office of Emergency Services
requires that cities update OES Form 130, which designates specific individuals as
authorized agents to apply for disaster assistance. OES Form 130 must be filed, at a
minimum, every three years or whenever there is a change in personnel.
