MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Susan Cauldwell, Administrative Assista
DATE: February 23, 1989
SUBJECT: STATE WORKERS' COMPENSATION RESOLUTION
The City Council reviewed this item at its February 15, 1989 meeting
and directed staff to return it to the agenda when the Disaster Council
ordinance would be considered for second reading and adoption
(Item 12A) .
The workers' compensation resolution requests the California State
Emergency Council to accredit Moorpark's Disaster Council. When this
accreditation is received, the City's disaster service workers (either
staff or citizen volunteers) are eligible for state workers'
compensation benefits (in the event they are injured while responding
to a disaster) at no cost to the City. The City's only requirement is
to register the disaster service workers before they begin working.
The City is responsible for devising its own registeration process.
The purpose of registering these workers is to obtain basic information
(e.g. , next of kin, special skills, etc. ) on the volunteers before they
begin assisting the City during an emergency.
Staff Recommendation
That the City Council adopt Resolution 89- requesting
accreditation of Moorpark's Disaster Council in order that injured
disaster service workers may benefit from state workers' compensation
insurance.
