RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE AND AUTHORIZE the Health Officer acting as the Medical Health Operational Area Coordinator (MHOAC) or designee to execute a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the County of San Bernardino and the County of Contra Costa in Response to Emergency Assistance Re: Waterman Terrorism Incident.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The MOA accompanying this board order is required by the State of California so that Contra Costa County can get reimbursed by the County of San Bernardino for all reasonable costs associated with the mutual aid support provided during the Waterman Terrorism Incident.

BACKGROUND:

On December 2, 2015, a mass shooting occurred at the Inland Regional Center, 1365 S. Waterman Avenue, San Bernardino, resulting in the death and injury to several San Bernardino County Environmental Health Services employees (“Waterman Terrorism Incident”). Following the incident, mutual aid resources were requested by the San Bernardino County Public Health Officer and by the State in accordance with the California Department of Public Health Regional Disaster Medical and Health Coordination (RDMHC) program, to provide mutual aid to San Bernardino County so that it could continue its Environmental Health Services.

Contra Costa County provided and will continue to provide mutual aid to San Bernardino County Environmental Health Services including personnel, equipment, and or materials, through June 30, 2016. The MOA accompanying this board order is required by the State of California so that Contra Costa County can get reimbursed for the aid it provided.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The County would not be reimbursed for mutual aid support consisting of Environmental Health Services personnel equipment, and/or materials during December 2, 2015 through June 30, 2016. The County would have to use other County funds to replace those spent by Environmental Health Services.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
