File #: 21-029 MEETING DATE: 1/19/2021
REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY: Oliver Chi, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Scott M. Haberle, Fire Chief
Subject:
Adopt Resolution 2021-06 Identifying the Terms and Conditions for Fire Department Response
Away from their Official Duty Station and Assigned to an Emergency Incident
Statement of Issue:
The State of California requires jurisdictions to maintain an updated list of personnel who are
included in a current salary survey with the Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) who
submit claims for state and federal disaster reimbursement under the Master Mutual Aid Plan.
Approval of the attached resolution updating this list is requested. The updated list of personnel will
now include Fire Department personnel who are working in the Fire Prevention and Marine Safety
Divisions.
Financial Impact: Not applicable
Recommended Action:
Adopt Resolution 2021-06, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach
Identifying the Terms and Conditions for Fire Department Response Away from their Official Duty
Station and Assigned to an Emergency Incident."
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 apply for and obtain emergency relief. The resolution with this listing
was last submitted in 2015 and is in need of updating. The resolution shown as Attachment 1
includes all Fire Department positions who could respond to state and federal disasters. It will
accompany City claims for financial reimbursement submitted to the California Emergency
Management Agency (Cal-EMA) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Due to
the current COVID Pandemic, we are anticipating a potential need/request to deploy Fire Department
personnel who were not previously included in the resolution for reimbursement. Approval of the
resolution is requested.
Environmental Status: None.
