N. <br />_ Information <br />Meeting Date: August 18, 2008 Action Item <br />XX Consent Agenda <br />SUBJECT: Memoranda of Agreement Process for Emergency Management <br />DEPARTMENT: Emergency Management <br />CONTACT PERSON: Eric Griffin - 718-4670 <br />REQUEST: Approve the attached resolution <br />SUMMARY: Before disasters occur, it is the responsibility for the Office of <br />Emergency Management to ensure that all readily available resources are identified and able to <br />be brought into service when necessary. To that end, staff strongly recommends that formal <br />Memoranda of Agreements be made between the County and any party that is expected to <br />support disaster response efforts. These Memoranda's are also required in order for the County to <br />receive reimbursement from FEMA. <br />Memoranda are expected to be established with adult care homes, food service providers, <br />medical service and equipment providers, pharmacies, and non-profit agencies. <br />The Manager and staff feel that the most expedient manner for managing the multitude of <br />memoranda required is to request that the Board adopt a resolution allowing the County Manager <br />to approve and execute Memoranda's through the attached resolution drafted by the County <br />Attorney. <br />BUDGET IMPACT: N/A <br />ATTACHMENT(S): Draft resolution <br />PUBLIC HEARING: No <br />PRIOR BOARD ACTION: N/A <br />RECOMMENDATION: Adopt resolution authorizing the County Manager to approve and <br />execute Memoranda of Agreement for the Office of Emergency Management <br />
