This grant would require a 12.5% local <br /> matching fund that we would satisfy by tracking staff hours and City resources utilized in plan development. <br /> The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 requires local governments to have a disaster mitigation plan approved by <br /> the state by November 1, 2004. An approved plan is a requirement for any future disaster mitigation grant fund <br /> distributions. The mitigation planning process continues the recent Hazard Identification and Vulnerability <br /> Assessment development conducted by the City. Grant funds would be used to contract services with the <br /> University of Washington Institute for Hazard Mitigation to deliver an approved hazard mitigation plan. <br /> The State requires the City to pass a resolution appointing a single point of contact for grant administration <br /> purposes, including execution of the application, grant agreement, and payment requests. <br /> The Hazard Mitigation Plan represents the City's commitment to diminish the risks from natural hazards and <br /> will serve as a reference in committing future resources for hazard impact reduction. <br /> RECOMMENDATION (Exact action requested of Council): <br /> Authorize the City's agent to sign the application for the Natural Hazards Planning Grant and approve the <br /> resolution designating Dave DeHaan as the City's agent, and Steve Parker as the alternate agent, with respect to <br /> grant administration. <br /> 92 <br />
