Resolution to adopt the Riverside County Operational Area Multi-Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
End
FROM:
Paul Wilson, Fire Chief
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation
Staff recommends the City Council approve a Resolution to adopt the Riverside County Operational Area Multi-Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan.
Body
BACKGROUND:
Riverside County’s Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP), including the Cathedral City’s LHMP and all its annexes, have been conditionally approved pending formal adoption by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Currently the California Disaster Assistance Act (CDAA), limits the state share for any eligible project or federally declared emergency that includes public assistance funding to no more than 75% of total state eligible costs.
DISCUSSION:
With the adoption of AB 2140, the City will be eligible for all or part our local costs exceeding 75%, on eligible Public Assistance which is provided by state share funding through the California Disaster Assistance Act (CDAA).
The CDAA allows the state to pay a portion of the non-federal share that would otherwise fall upon the local agency to pay for Public Assistance and Hazard Mitigation Projects.
Under AB 2140 the California Legislature may provide for a state share of local costs that exceeds 75% of total state share eligible costs.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Potential positive fiscal impact for City disaster mitigation or recovery from state reimbursement to the City for costs exceeding 75% of total state share eligible costs.
