| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
The County Administrator proclaimed the existence of a local emergency arising from the Winter Storms of 2019 on February 20, 2019. Local impacts of the storms included flooding, erosion, and other damage to public infrastructure such as roads and levees as well as damage to agricultural crops and commodities within Yolo County. The proposed Board resolution (Attachment A) describes the basis for ratifying the County Administrator's proclamation, which is attached thereto. Government Code Section 8630 provides for the governing body of a county to ratify a proclamation of emergency if the proclamation occurred when the Board of Supervisors was not in session. Ratification must occur within seven calendar days of the proclamation. Adoption of this resolution is necessary to maintain the option of receiving State and/or Federal funding in the event contiguous counties are included in a disaster area and thus any damage in Yolo would qualify for reimbursement of related expenses.
Assuming the Board of Supervisors adopts the attached resolution and confirms the existence of a local emergency, County staff will review and, if appropriate, recommend continuation or termination of the state of local emergency at each regularly scheduled Board meeting going forward. County staff will also take other appropriate steps to address local conditions, including coordinating with other local agencies on emergency response actions and the pursuit of funding assistance that may be available under the California Disaster Assistance Act. |
