TITLE:
Title
Designation of the City’s Agents for California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services Financial Assistance
LABEL
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Recommendation
Adopt a resolution authorizing the Assistant City Manager, or Risk Manager, or Finance Director to execute documents on behalf of the City of Napa for financial assistance for specified matters pertaining to State of California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES 130).
Body
DISCUSSION:
The California Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) Form 130 (Exhibit A), Designation of Applicant’s Agent Resolution for Non-State Agencies, is required to be approved by resolution for the purpose of obtaining certain federal financial assistance under Public Law 93-288, as amended by the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act of 1988, and/or financial assistance under the California Disaster Assistance Act (CDAA). The designated agent(s) are authorized to apply and submit for financial assistance following a declared disaster. This is a universal resolution and is effective for all open and future disasters up to three (3) years following the date of approval.
The last designation of authorized agents occurred on February 7, 2023 when the City Council adopted Resolution R2023-008. Because there is now a vacancy in the previously designated position of Deputy Finance Director, this resolution will update the form by replacing that position with the Finance Director and satisfy the State’s requirements.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
None by this action. Adoption of this resolution will allow the City to request financial support and reimbursement from California Emergency Management Agency (CalEMA) and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for costs incurred as a result of declared disaster.
CEQA:
The City Manager has determined that the recommended action described in this agenda report is not subject to CEQA, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) and 15378(b)(5).
