City of Moorpark
Agenda Report
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Richard Hare, Deputy City Mana ems.
DATE: December 20, 1993 (CC Mtg. 1/5/94)
SUBJECT: Appropriation of $35,000 from General Fund Reserve
for Medical and Emergency Operations Materials and
supplies.
The City Council reserved $35,000 in GANN Fund (51) for the
purchase of emergency operations center (EOC) equipment and
supplies. This reserve was continued when Fund 51 was merged with
the General Fund (01). Staff is requesting an appropriation of
these funds for the purchase of medical kits for trained EMT -I's
and general supplies for when the need arises for temporary
conversion of existing offices to an emergency operations center.
Background
The City has received approval of its emergency preparedness plan
and has conducted training exercises for staff with the cooperation
of the state and county disaster preparedness officials.
Additionally, staff has visited the East Valley Sheriff's EOC
facility and the Simi Valley EOC facility to ascertain the
rudimentary equipment and materials necessary to bring the City's
current facilities to a basic level of preparedness. Items such as
phones, dedicated lines, control boards, pens, and incident command
system materials must be purchased to accomplish this task.
The City has also authorized the Emergency Medical Technician (EMT
I) training of four staff members and most of the deputies assigned
to Moorpark. The training was performed at cost by Pruner
Ambulance service. Additional training for the remaining deputies
and four more staff members is being scheduled soon. The medical
kits required for those trained and for the four City facilities
cost $100 each. During the year, replacement supplies will have to
be purchased too. This would also come from this appropriation.
It is intended that the items purchased would be portable and could
be used in the event the emergency operations center had to be
relocated due to damage to city facilities. At this time it is
anticipated that the Citrus Room, Council Conference Room, Annex
building, or East Valley Sheriffs Station would be used for an EOC.
Recommendation
Approve the appropriation of $35,000 from the General Fund to
administrative services special departmental supplies
(01.4.117.629) for the purchase of medical and emergency operation
center materials and supplies.
