Agenda Item #3.B �1 DATE: January 8, 2018 TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council through City Manager FROM: Eric W. Danly, City Attorney SUBJECT: Council Proclamation of Termination of Local Emergency RECOMMENDATION Staff recommend that the City Council adopt the attached resolution Proclaiming the Termination of the Local Emergency Proclamation of the Acting Director of Emergency Services Dated Effective October 9, 2017 Pursuant to Section 2.32.060(A) of the Petaluma Municipal Code and Ratified by the City Council October 16, 2017 and Reviewed by the City Council, on November 6, 2017 in Accordance with Government Code Section 8630(c) (Attachment 1). BACKGROUND Section 2.32.060, paragraph (A) of the Petaluma Municipal Code empowers the Director of Emergency Services or a designated Acting Director of Emergency Services to proclaim the existence or threatened existence of a local -emergency when the City is affected or likely to be affected by a public calamity and the City Council is not is session, subject to ratification of the proclamation by the City Council within seven (7) days. The Assistant City Manager, functioning as the City's Acting Director of Emergency Services at the City's Emergency Operations Center proclaimed the existence of a local emergency within the City effective as of 4:00 a.m. on October 9, 2017. The emergency proclamation of the Acting Director of Emergency Services is included as Attachment 2 to this resolution. The proclamation resulted from the fires burning in Sonoma and Napa counties, and the need for the City to provide first responders and support, receive evacuees from surrounding areas and provide services for them, and to monitor emergency conditions to provide for safety of Petaluma citizens. In accordance with Section 2.32.060(A) of the Petaluma Municipal Code and Section 8630(b) of the Government Code, the City Council ratified the Acting Director's emergency proclamation by adopting Resolution no. 2017 -162 N.C.S. 'on October 16, 2017. The City Council's resolution ratifying the October 9, 2017 emergency proclamation is included as Attachment 3 to this staff report. I Governor Brown also issued an emergency proclamation for Napa and Sonoma counties on October 9, 2017. The Governor's emergency proclamation refers to the Tubbs and Atlas fires commencing on October 8, 2017 in Napa County and spreading to Sonoma County, as well as to multiple other fires burning in Napa, Sonoma and Yuba counties which destroyed structures, threatened thousands of homes and resulted in evacuation of thousands of residents, damage to critical infrastructure and closure of major highways and local roads. The Governor's proclamation also refers to extreme weather conditions, including strong winds, spreading the fires, and notes that the magnitude of the fires requires the combined forces of mutual aid regions to combat them. The Governor's proclamation established a state of emergency in Napa, Sonoma and Yuba counties pursuant to Government Code sections 8558(b), 8571, and 8625. On October 10, 2017, President Trump approved federal emergency assistance for California in response to the current fire emergencies. As noted in the City Council's October 16'h action to ratify the Acting Emergency Service Director's local emergency proclamation, conditions of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property arose' within the City of Petaluma and surrounding areas in Sonoma and Napa counties caused by multiple fires which resulted in very extensive property damage, injuries, loss of life, and evacuations in numerous communities and neighborhoods in Sonoma and Napa counties, as well as massive deployment of emergency response personnel, equipment and other resources. The City Council's ratification of the local emergency proclamation made available to the City emergency response liability protection, emergency response cost recovery, and otherwise helped implement appropriate provisions of local and state law related to public safety emergencies, including provisions of the Emergency Services Act that activate City employees' responsibilities as disaster service workers. In ratifying the local emergency proclamation the City Council declared that the proclaimed emergency would continue in effect until terminated by the City Council. On November 6, 2017, the City Council reviewed its action ratifying the October 9 emergency proclamation in accordance with Government Code Section 8630, subdivision (c) and adopted a resolution reviewing and preserving in effect the October 9 proclamation. The City Council's resolution reviewing and preserving in effect the October 9 emergency proclamation is included as Attachment 4 to this staff report. DISCUSSION Government Code section 8630, subdivision (d) requires that local emergency proclamations be terminated at the earliest possible date that conditions warrant. In accordance with subdivision (d) of section 8630, the City Council should proclaim the local emergency terminated if upon reviewing the proclamation the Council determines that conditions warrant termination. E The City closed its Emergency Operations Center at midnight on October 15, 2017, after transitioning operation of the City's evacuation shelters to the American Red Cross. However, City staff, in their capacity as disaster service workers under the Emergency Services Act, continued their engagement with the declared emergencies, including through coordination with the Sonoma County Emergency Operations Center, and through emergency follow up work including transitioning City evacuation centers back to normal operations, gathering and storing emergency supplies such as cots and bedding, tabulating and submitting itemization of City emergency response costs for reimbursement, and mop up and follow up efforts of City first responders and others in coordination with other affected Sonoma County jurisdictions and agencies. Staff understands that the emergency proclaimed by Governor Brown remains in effect. At the present time, Petaluma staff follow -up activities related to the proclaimed wild fire emergencies have concluded. City facilities have transitioned to normal operations and City emergency response costs have been tabulated and submitted for reimbursement. Accordingly, in view of the conclusion of disaster recovery and follow up activities in the City, staff recommend that the City Council adopt the attached resolution Proclaiming the Termination of the Local Emergency Proclamation of the Acting Director of Emergency Services Dated Effective October 9, 2017 Pursuant to Section 2.32.060(A) of the Petaluma Municipal Code, and Ratified by the City Council October 16, 2017 and Reviewed by the City Council on November 6, 2017, in accordance with Government Code Section 8630(c). In accordance with various provisions of state and local law, termination of a proclamation of a local public safety emergency as in the attached resolution also has the effect of deactivating City employees' responsibilities as disaster service workers. In accordance with Petaluma Municipal Code section 2.32.060(F)(3), the City Manager, as the City's Emergency Services Director, upon proclamation of a local emergency, is empowered to require emergency service of any City officer or employee. In accordance with Petaluma Municipal Code section 2.32.090, all officers and employees of the City, along with volunteer forces and groups aiding during an emergency, may be charged with duties incident to the protection of life and property in the City during a proclaimed emergency. In accordance with Government Code section 3100, all public employees are declared to be disaster service workers subject to such disaster service activities as may be assigned to them by their superiors or by law. Adoption of the attached resolution proclaiming the termination of the local emergency would conclude local activation of City employees and volunteers as disaster service workers. FINANCIAL IMPACTS The City incurred costs of supplying and operating evacuation centers and other emergency response costs, including staffing costs, and disaster follow up costs related to transitioning 3 evacuation centers back to normal operations, accounting for and storing emergency supplies, etc. Staff reported a preliminary estimate of costs the City incurred through October 22 in response to the wildfire emergencies of $609,409 which covered the cost of staffing, renting equipment, purchasing supplies, providing services to City evacuation shelters, and replacing damaged carpet in the Community Center shelter. The current cost amount that has been submitted for reimbursement is $635,387. Please note, however, that this amount excludes costs of mutual aid provided by the Fire Department. The current estimate of mutual aid costs incurred by the Fire Department is $265,032.40. Of that amount $179,970.39 has already been received through the CA Fire Assistance Agreement. ATTACHMENTS 1.
