RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2019/72 approving and authorizing the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to enter into Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the County of Butte for cost recovery associated with the emergency mutual aid and law enforcement mutual aid response to the November 2018 California Wildfires, Federal Emergency Disaster Funds, FEMA-4407-DR.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Cost Recovery. (100% Federal)

BACKGROUND:

On November 8, 2018, an emergency event consisting of fires in Butte County was declared. On November 12, 2018, a Presidential Declaration of Emergency was issued by President Donald J. Trump. Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff provided law enforcement mutual aid and other Contra Costa County departments provided support through emergency management mutual aid to the County of Butte. Federal and State funds are now available for reimbursement of actual costs associated with providing mutual aid services. In order for the Office of the Sheriff and other county departments to participate in the cost recovery program, the Federal Emergency Management Agency requires all affected counties to enter into a Memorandum of Agreement with those entities that provided mutual aid during the disaster. Approval of the MOA will enable the Office of the Sheriff and other county departments to participate in the cost recovery program.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Office of the Sheriff and other county departments will be unable to apply for reimbursement of costs associated with the mutual aid response.
