BEACH AND GOLDEN RAIN FOUNDATION (GRF) TO
RECOGNIZE AND SUPPORT REIMBURSEMENT FOR
EMERGENCY VACCINATION SERVICES PROVIDED TO
RESIDENTS WITHIN THE LEISURE WORLD COMMUNITY
DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC BY WAY OF A FEMA
REQUEST FOR REIMBURSEMENT
WHEREAS, from 2021 to 2023 Golden Rain Foundation (GRF), a non-profit
mutual benefit corporation managing the Leisure World senior residential
community in Seal Beach, expended $91,553.20 to administer COVID-19
vaccinations and associated services; and,
WHEREAS, the GRF's efforts were crucial in mitigating COVID-19 risks among
Leisure World's elderly residents, a vulnerable population including many low-
income seniors; and,
WHEREAS, due to complex delays and misdirection in initial reimbursement
requests submitted to Orange County and the State of California, GRF was unable
to meet the initial reimbursement deadlines of the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA); and,
WHEREAS, this retroactive agreement allows the City of Seal Beach to formally
recognize GRF's contributions and act as an eligible intermediary to submit a
retroactive reimbursement request to FEMA on GRF's behalf.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE SEAL BEACH CITY COUNCIL DOES HEREBY
RESOLVE:
Section 1. Approve the retroactive agreement between the City of Seal

support reimbursement for emergency vaccination services
provided to residents within the Leisure World community during

Section 2. Authorize the City of Seal Beach to act as a supportive
intermediary in GRF's application to FEMA for reimbursement of

supporting documents required by FEMA to facilitate
reimbursement for GRF's incurred expenses as specified in the
agreement.
