Page 1 of 5 Item #5 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT February 20, 2024 Community Development TITLE: ADOPT A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE 2023 TRI-VALLEY LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN SUMMARY In response to the requirements of the federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000, the cities of Pleasanton, Livermore, and Dublin and the Dublin San Ramon Services District have developed a multi-jurisdiction hazard mitigation plan: the Tri-Valley Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (Tri-Valley LHMP). This multi-jurisdiction plan represents an update to each city or agency’s component of the prior LHMP, which was last updated and adopted in 2018. In addition to providing a comprehensive evaluation of the natural and other hazards facing the Tri-Valley area, the LHMP identifies specific measures that should be taken to help to mitigate or avoid these risks. Having an adopted LHMP allows the City to be eligible for certain grant funding that supports hazard mitigation planning and programs. The Tri-Valley LHMP fulfills the five-year plan update requirement for the collective partners, as it identifies resources, information, and strategies for reducing risk from natural hazards in the Tri-Valley planning area. The plan is composed of two volumes: Volume 1 contains components that apply to all partners and the broader planning area; Volume 2 contains all components that are jurisdiction-specific. Each planning partner has a dedicated annex in Volume 2. The Tri-Valley LHMP was submitted to the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) for review on October 12, 2023. Cal OES completed its review and submitted the plan to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for its review on October 31, 2023 (Attachment 3). On December 15, 2023, FEMA completed its review and determined the plan meets the requirements of the Disaster Management Act and is eligible for final approval pending its adoption by each of the planning partners (Attachment 4). For multi-jurisdictional plans, FEMA will issue multiple approvals as each planning partner submits its resolution formally adopting the Tri-Valley Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. RECOMMENDATION Adopt a resolution adopting Volume 1, Pleasanton’s portion of Volume 2, and all appendices of the 2023 Tri-Valley Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. BACKGROUND The City’s ONE Pleasanton strategic plan includes implementation of the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan per goal Safeguarding our City, Strategy 4. A specific undertaking related to this strategy is the update of the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. On April 4, 2022, the City entered into a professional services agreement to update the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan with the firm Tetra Tech, in partnership with the cities of Livermore, Dublin, and the Dublin/San Ramon Services District (DSRSD), referred to as the planning partners.
