File Number: 23-547 <br />of hazard event before it occurs. Hazard mitigation aims to reduce losses from future disasters. It <br />is a process that identifies and profiles hazards, analyzes the people and facilities at risk, and <br />develops mitigation actions to reduce or eliminate hazard risk. The implementation of the <br />mitigation actions - which include short- and long-term strategies that may involve planning, policy <br />changes, programs, projects, and other activities - is the end result of this process. Over the past <br />two decades, local hazard mitigation planning has been driven by federal law, the Disaster <br />Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000). <br />On October 30, 2000, Congress passed the DMA 2000 (Public Law 106-390), which amended the <br />Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act of 1988 (Title 42 of the United <br />States Code Section 5121 et seq.) by repealing the Act’s previous mitigation planning section <br />(409) and replacing it with a new mitigation planning section (322). This new section emphasizes <br />the need for state, tribal, and local entities to closely coordinate mitigation planning and <br />implementation efforts. This new section also provides the legal basis for the Federal Emergency <br />Management Agency’s (FEMA) mitigation plan requirements for the Hazard Mitigation Assistance <br />grant programs. <br />The City will work with the community and a consultant, following the 44 CFR solicitation <br />requirements, to develop an updated LHMP prior to the 2026 deadline. <br />Legal Analysis <br /> <br />The City Attorney reviewed the CalOES Award Letter, this staff report, and the award resolution <br />and approved them as to form (Exhibit B). <br />Financial Impacts <br />This Grant Fund (F150-3607) project will cost $146,500 for a 2-year agreement to update and draft <br />the plan. This requires increasing the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Budget by the grant award amount <br />($146,500) and will be reimbursed by a grant that will increase revenues by reimbursement <br />deposited into the City’s State Grants Account, 150-3607. <br />The grant award of $146,500 (minus $15,000 match) is fully reimbursable. <br />ATTACHMENT(S) <br />Attachment A: Resolution Accept and Authorize the City Manager to Execute All Documents <br />Related to the Hazard Mitigation Grant Plan (HMGP) <br />Attachment B: CALOES Award Letter <br />PREPARED BY: Megan Stephenson, City Manager’s Office <br />Page 2 City of San Leandro Printed on 12/21/2023
