Statement of Issue: The Fire Department is requesting approval of the attached resolution
adopting the Operational Area Agreement with addendums with the County of Orange and
political subdivisions. Entering into this agreement with participating agencies provides a
cooperative method for meeting State law requirements related to the Standardized
Emergency Management System (SEMS).
Funding Source: Not applicable.
Recommended Action: Motion to: Approve Resolution 2010 -01, A Resolution of the City
Council of the City of Huntington Beach Approving an Operational Area Agreement Between
the County of Orange and Local Agencies for the Implementation of the Standardized
Emergency Management System (SEMS) Regulations, and authorize the City Clerk and
Mayor to sign an Operational Area Agreement with addendums between the County of
Orange and political subdivisions for the implementation of SEMS.
Alternative Action(s): Do not approve the attached resolution.
REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
MEETING DATE: 1/19/2010 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: FD 10-001
Analysis: In November 1995, the City Council adopted Resolution 6732 which authorized
the Mayor to sign an Operational Area Agreement, with revisions, between the County of
Orange and political subdivisions. These operational Area addendums related to the
establishment and composition of the operational area executive board, local authority in an
emergency, duties of the operational area coordinator, creation and revision of the area plan,
and activation of the operational area Emergency Operations Center. Once adopted by the
County of Orange, the Operational Area agreement, with revisions, would be implemented
county-wide, including in the City of Huntington Beach.
When the City Council adopted Resolution 6732 it was understood that the specified
addendums would also be adopted by the County of Orange. However, since that time, the
proposed addendums were never adopted. The County of Orange has now adopted the
specified revisions to the Operational Area plan making it necessary for the City to do the
same.
SEMS regulations standardize emergency responses when implemented in multiple
jurisdictional areas. Failure to comply with these State regulations may result in the loss of
future FEMA disaster reimbursement funds distributed through the State of California to the
City of Huntington Beach.
Strategic Plan Goal: Maintain and Enhance Public Safety.
Environmental Status: None
