Staff Recommendation: Adopt Resolution No. 2022-4071 supporting a California Resilience Challenge grant application. (Staff: Mack Douglass, Program Manager) Item: 10.E. MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT TO: Honorable City Council FROM: Mack Douglass, Program Manager DATE: 02/02/2022 Regular Meeting SUBJECT: Consider a Resolution Approving an Application for Funding and Execution of a Grant Agreement and Any Amendments Thereto from the 2019-2020 Funding Year of the State Community Development Block Grant Mitigation Program BACKGROUND The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) currently administers disaster recovery funding, including the Community Development Block Grant Mitigation (CDBG-MIT), Community Development Block Grant National Disaster Resilient (CDBG-NDR), and the 2017 (CDBG-DR) Unmet Recovery Needs funding. In response to the disaster events of 2017, including the Thomas Fire, HCD dedicated $22,440,000 of the CDBG-MIT funds to create the Resilient Planning and Public Services Program to fund eligible jurisdictions and non-profit entities to create projects to address risks to, or across, community lifelines that support human health and safety and provide mitigation for individual and community-based systems. The intent of the program is to fund actionable, impactful Planning and Public Services projects that have measurable results in risk reduction from natural hazards. Eligible activities considered under this program include the creation or updating of current plans for better alignment with mitigation principles or, in some cases, examining hazards and establishing actions to increase resilience and preparedness. DISCUSSION On January 8, 2021, HCD published a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for the 2020 Resilient Planning and Public Services Program (Attachment 1). The Grant will award approximately $22.4 million in funding (to be awarded in amounts up to $500,000) to local governments and agencies for a variety of resilient planning and public service initiatives through a competitive process. The NOFA describes that the selected proposals will serve to enhance critical lifelines, inform the public, and leveraging resources through partnerships and coordination of efforts. Item: 10.E. 339 Honorable City Council 02/02/2022 Regular Meeting Page 2 Over the past several years, the cities of Moorpark, Simi Valley, and Thousand Oaks have all suffered impacts as a result of natural disasters, including the Easy Fire, Woolsey Fire, Thomas Fire, Maria Fire, and ongoing wind events that have resulted in frequent Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS). To address the program’s preference for cooperative and coordinated proposals, and in acknowledgement of our shared emergency management concerns, staff worked with the cities of Simi Valley and Thousand Oaks on a successful grant proposal that will fund the following activities in all three cities: o $57,712.50 for preparation of evacuation plans, to be performed by third party consultants. o $41,262.50 for an Emergency Preparedness Outreach Campaign that will be targeted to reach each community’s most vulnerable populations This grant opportunity directly aligns with the City’s work plan to update the 2014 Emergency Operations Plan and enhance community resiliency, especially among our most vulnerable populations. On February 2, 2021, City Council adopted a resolution in support of the City’s application for this grant. A new resolution, in a form approved by the California Department of Housing and Community Development, is now required before the grant can be awarded to the City. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with supporting the City’s 2019-2020 Funding Year of the State CDBG-MIT Program grant application. If awarded, these funds will partially offset costs to the City associated with emergency management activities. COUNCIL GOAL COMPLIANCE This action does not support a current strategic directive. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Adopt Resolution No. 2022-____ supporting a California Resilience Challenge grant application.
