BACKGROUND <br /> On April 1, 2017, the President of the United States approved a major disaster <br /> declaration for the State of California, including Alameda County, making the City of <br /> Pleasanton eligible to apply for federal and State disaster assistance. The declaration <br /> provides federal funds to help communities recover from severe winter storms, flooding <br /> and mudslides that occurred from February 1 to February 23, 2017. <br /> A new resolution designating a City Agent must be submitted every three years. A valid <br /> resolution making such designation for the City does not currently exist and it is <br /> recommended the City Council make such a designation. This designation will allow <br /> the Agent to sign all applications for disaster assistance and to file them with the <br /> California Governor's Office of Emergency Services for the purpose of obtaining certain <br /> federal financial assistance under federal Public Law 93-288 as amended by the federal <br /> Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act of 1988, and state <br /> financial assistance under the California Disaster Assistance Act. <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> The City is currently evaluating damage that occurred during the storm period from <br /> February 1 to February 23, 2017. Repair costs will be evaluated and included in the <br /> applications for Federal assistance that are due to Cal OES on April 25, 2017. This <br /> resolution will allow us to submit for Federal and State assistance for damage that <br /> occurred during the February storms. <br /> Submitted by: Approve by: <br /> Tina Olson Nelson Fialho <br /> Director of Finance <br /> Attachments: <br /> 1.
