Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager and the Fire Chief as Designating
Signature Authority for current and future public assistance funding applications from the
California Emergency Management Agency (CaIEMA) and the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA).
2. Approve an Appropriation Adjustment for the FEMA Flood Emergency expenditure
account.
DISCUSSION
The California Emergency Management Agency (CaIEMA) requires that public entities, such as
the City of Santa Ana, maintain a current Designation of Applicant's Agent Resolution (OES Form
130) on file. This form allows designated city individuals, in this case the City Manager and Fire
Chief, to apply for public assistance through CaIEMA's California Disaster Assistance Act (CDAA)
on behalf of the City of Santa Ana, in the event of a disaster.
In the event of a declared disaster, either on the state or national level, local agencies are able to
seek reimbursement for disaster-related activities. In this case, the City of Santa Ana was
approved to receive $8,959.00 for damages related to the December 2010 storms. In order to
complete the process OES Form 130 must be filed.
