TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members

SUBMITTED BY: Chief Paul Tomasi, Public Safety Director

APPROVED BY: Chip Rerig, City Administrator

SUBJECT: Consideration of a resolution appointing the Citys Emergency Services Director

(City Administrator) as the agent representing the City for reimbursement of State and
Federal disaster grant money.

RECOMMENDATION

Adopt a resolution appointing the Citys Emergency Services Director (City Administrator) as the agent
representing the City for reimbursement of State and Federal disaster grant money.

BACKGROUND / SUMMARY

On April 1, 2017, President Donald J. Trump declared 42 counties in California, including Monterey eligible for
funding as a result of three significant storm systems that hit the State during January and February 2017. This
was identified through the California Governors Office of Emergency Services (Cal-OES) as a public
assistance grant (FEMA-4308-DR-CA). The grant if approved will reimburse up to 75% of the eligible costs of
either Emergency Work or Permanent Work. Emergency Work consists of debris removal, emergency
response and protective measures. Permanent Work consists of roads and bridges, water control facilities,
building and equipment, utilities, parks, recreational facilities and other items.

The City submitted a Request for Public Assistance (RPA) application in April and was awarded the Grant
Application May 26th. Completion of the grant application requires the City to appoint an agent by resolution to
represent the City. Form 130, from the State of California Governors Office of Emergency Services will be
completed upon adoption of the resolution appointing the Emergency Services Director as the agent to
represent the City. The Emergency Services Director is a position in the Citys Emergency Operations Center
filled by the City Administrator or in his absence the Public Safety Director. The appointment will be valid for
three years and can be used for future eligible federally claimed disasters.

The City will be requesting approximately $35,000 to cover the costs for repairs and staff time related to storm
damages. This estimate is based on actual repairs from storm related damages, debris removal, mitigation
efforts and both overtime and straight time incurred by the City to handle storm related calls for service.

FISCAL IMPACT

Any grant reimbursement will be deposited into the General Fund.
