RESOLUTION NO. 23-1352 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PLEASANTON DELEGATING AUTHORITY TO THE CITY MANAGER OR THEIR DESIGNEE TO AWARD CONTRACTS AND EXECUTE AGREEMENTS ON BEHALF OF THE CITY FOR STORM-RELATED PURCHASES DURING THE EXISTENCE OF THE LOCAL EMERGENCY WHEREAS, on January 9, 2023, the City Manager, acting as the Director of Emergency Services, did proclaim the existence of a local emergency within the city due to severe storms per Municipal Code section 2.44.060.A.1.; and WHEREAS, when such a local emergency is in effect, the Director of Emergency Services is authorized to obtain vital supplies and equipment if required immediately per Municipal Code section 2.44.060.A.6.b.; and WHEREAS, due to the dynamic nature of the severe storms which have given rise to the local emergency, the City Council recognizes that the need for the City to obtain vital supplies and equipment, and contract for emergency services, may be time-sensitive and sudden, and delegating authority to the City Manager or their designee will allow for timely purchasing for the benefit of the public health, safety and welfare. NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PLEASANTON DOES RESOLVE, DECLARE, DETERMINE AND ORDER THE FOLLOWING: SECTION 1. That for the duration of the local emergency due to severe storms, that the City Council delegates authority to the City Manager, or their designee, to award contracts or enter into agreements on behalf of the City to purchase supplies, or entry into contracts for services (collectively the "purchases") needed to respond to the effects of the severe storm. Such time sensitive purchases shall not be subject to formal bidding procedures or the requirement that the City Council approve such purchases in advance (which would otherwise be required by Municipal Code Chapter 3.32, and Sections 2.08.160 and 3.28.010; or the Purchasing Procedures and Manual; or state law). SECTION 2. The City Council requires that the City Manager report to the City Council all actions taken pursuant to this Resolution at the next meeting of the City Council until the local emergency due to severe storms is terminated by the City Council. SECTION 3. Finds that California Public Resources Code §21080(b)(2) to (4) exempts from the California Environmental Quality Act actions and projects undertaken in response to an emergency. SECTION 4. This resolution shall become effective immediately upon its passage and adoption. SECTION 5. City Clerk shall certify to the passage of this resolution and enter it into the book of original resolutions.
