File #: 20-1544 MEETING DATE: 4/6/2020
REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY: Oliver Chi, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Scott Haberle, Fire Chief
Subject:
Adopt Resolution No. 2020-16 approving City authorized agents to apply for and obtain
Financial Assistance for Disaster and Emergency Relief
Statement of Issue:
The State of California previously required jurisdictions to update their list of authorized agents who
will submit claims for state and federal reimbursement every three years. However, in 2019 these
guidelines were revised to require agencies to annually adopt this type of resolution. The attached
resolution will allow staff to apply for and obtain emergency disaster relief through the end of 2020.
Financial Impact:
Not applicable.
Recommended Action:
Adopt Resolution No. 2020-16, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach
Authorizing Certain City Officials to Execute Applications and Documents to Obtain Disaster and
Emergency Relief."
Alternative Alternative Action(s):
Do not adopt the resolution and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
State law requires that all claims for state and federal disaster reimbursement be accompanied by a
list of City officials authorized to act as agents for the purpose of applying for and obtaining financial
assistance for disaster and emergency relief. The State of California requires jurisdictions to update
their list each year.
The resolution shown as Attachment 1 includes the positions of City Manager, Fire Chief, Chief
Financial Officer and Emergency Services Coordinator as authorized agents. The newly adopted
resolution will accompany City claims for financial reimbursement from the California Emergency
Management Agency (Cal-EMA) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). In
conformance with State of California requirements, City staff will return during the first part of each
calendar year with a similar resolution to obtain these authorizations.
