OBJECTIVE

To have the City Council adopt the attached Resolution designating Authorized Agents to sign documents for and on behalf of the City of Garden Grove for federal financial assistance provided by the Department of Homeland Security and sub-awarded through the State of California.

BACKGROUND

The Fire Department receives reimbursement funds from Department of Homeland Security sub-awarded through the State of California Office of Emergency Services for a comprehensive all hazards emergency preparedness program.

 

On March 22, 2011, the City Council adopted a universal and open Resolution No. 9036-11 designating the Fire Chief, Emergency Services Coordinator, and Finance Director as Authorized Agents for and on behalf of the City of Garden Grove.

DISCUSSION

In order to continue to receive federal Department of Homeland Security financial assistance and reimbursements, the City of Garden Grove must adopt a resolution with a current date.  The State of California Office of Emergency Services requires that a resolution be adopted every three years at the maximum. 

 

There is no change to the designation of Authorized Agents.  The attached Resolution provides the same three named positions within the City to be authorized to sign for the City in matters that pertain to executing documents for reimbursements from emergency declarations and preparedness programs.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

The City will incur no financial impact as a result of the action being requested.
RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the City Council:

 

  • Adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the positions of Fire Chief, Emergency Services Coordinator, or Finance Director to execute documents on behalf of the City, relating to the reimbursement of funds provided by the federal Department of Homeland Security.
