A RESOLUTION OF THE SEAL BEACH CITY COUNCIL
AUTHORIZING DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDS ORIGINALLY
DEDICATED TO FY2023-24 TO BE CARRIED OVER BY BUDGET
AMENDMENT TO FY2024-2025 FOR THE PURCHASE OF
EQUIPMENT OR SERVICES OR REIMBURSEMENT OF THE
OPERATING COSTS FOR THE LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION
(LHMP) FIVE YEAR UPDATE AND INTERIM CITY MANAGER TO
TAKE ANY FURTHER ACTIONS NECESSARY FOR THE
PURPOSE OF OBTAINING REIMBURSEMENT
WHEREAS, the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) provides funding to
State, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) governments so they can rebuild in a way
that reduces or mitigates future natural disaster losses in their communities. The
program is authorized by Section 404 of the Stafford Act and,
WHEREAS, during the most recent HMGP grant cycle, the Seal Beach Police
Department applied for and was awarded funding to hire a consultant to initiate an
update of the 2019 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) to comply with the FEMA
guidelines. The total project is $160,722.00 with a Federal share of 75% and a
25% non-Federal share of$40,180.50 to be matched as "in-kind" staff time toward
the project. FEMA has awarded $7,992.00 as management costs to be reimbursed
at 100%; and,
WHEREAS, on March 25, 2024, City Council adopted Resolution 7506 in which
the City accepted the award of Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funds and
authorized the purchase of equipment or services or for the reimbursement of
funds for the City of Seal Beach Hazard Mitigation Plan Update; however, the
budget amendment request was for FY 2023-24; and,
WHEREAS, on November 12, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution 7580,
approving and awarding a Professional Services Agreement to Michael Baker
International to prepare the LHMP; however, due to the time delay, disbursement
would now fall under FY 2024-25.; and,
WHEREAS, due to project delays, the City desires to transfer FY 2023-24
designated Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funds to FY 2024-25 designated
Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funds by a budget amendment for the purchase
of equipment or services or for the reimbursement of funds for the City of Seal
Beach Hazard Mitigation Plan Update, including the Professional Services
Agreement to Michael Baker International to prepare the LHMP; and,
WHEREAS, the proposed action is not a "project" as defined in the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Public Resource Code Section 21065 and
Section 15378 (b) (4) and (5) of the State CEQA Guidelines, because the proposed
action is an organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or
indirect physical change in the environment, and the creation of government
funding mechanisms or other governmental fiscal activities, which do not involve
any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant
physical impact on the environment.
