and declares as follows:
A. Between January 18 and January 23 2017, the City of Santa Ana, along with
many other communities throughout California experienced a period of heavy
rainfall and flooding from a system of rainstorms that passed over the state.
B. As a result of these storms, the City of Santa Ana suffered heavy damage.
Heavy runoff broke apart portions of two concrete storm drains resulting in a
collapse of one channel and damage to another channel. Further, several trees
fell.
C. Emergency clean-up and temporary repairs for the damage suffered to the
storm drain channels cost approximately $45,000 with permanent repairs
estimated to cost up to $400,000. The cost associated with street clean-up for
the fallen trees was $9,652. The loss from these storms totals approximately
$460,000.
D. Due to the extensive damage from the storm system, Governor Brown
proclaimed a State of Emergency and petitioned the federal government for a
Disaster Declaration which was granted.
E. The state Proclamation of Emergency and Federal Declaration of Disaster
opens up state and federal Public Assistance Disaster Recovery funding
resulting in the federal government reimbursing the City of Santa Ana's 75% of
the City's losses with the State of California reimbursing the City the remaining
18.75% and the City responsible for the remaining 6.25%. The City may be
reimbursed approximately $431 ,250 from an estimated $460,000 in losses.
