Council adopts updated local hazard mitigation plan, authorizes agents to apply for FEMA funds
Summary
The council adopted the city's third‑edition local hazard mitigation plan, which FEMA had approved, and passed a resolution authorizing the city manager and key staff to apply for hazard‑mitigation and public‑assistance funding to support pre‑ and post‑disaster projects.
Manager of Emergency Services Paul Katsamanis briefed the council on the updated local hazard mitigation plan, describing it as the city’s third edition and explaining that FEMA approval is required for eligibility for certain grants and reimbursements. "This... is the 3rd edition of that document [that] must be submitted to FEMA to be eligible for pre and post disaster grant activities or reimbursement for projects," Katsamanis said.
The council adopted the plan and approved a resolution authorizing the city manager, assistant city manager, public works director and finance director to apply for hazard mitigation and public‑assistance funding. Council members described the plan as comprehensive and encouraged residents to review the plan content.
