BACKGROUND
Atmospheric river storms in January 2023 brought intense rainfall with runoff and infiltration entering the sewer collection system impacting the operation of Sewer Lift Station 2 and the Wastewater Treatment Plant. Temporary engine-driven pump rental equipment and emergency extraction of sanitary solids in commercial trucks were necessary to prevent sanitary sewer overflows. A landslide also prompted immediate repair of a water main break below Steele Canyon Road. Staff collaborated with Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) officials to secure natural disaster aid over the past two years.
Cal OES requires applicants for financial assistance to file an approved Form 130 resolution identifying the individuals who may act, sign documents and provide information related to declared State disasters. Resolutions must be renewed every 3 years. The proposed resolution will designate Chris Silke, District Engineer, and Steve Lederer, Director of Public Works, as both being authorized to take such actions on behalf of the District.
Requested Actions:
1. Adopt a Resolution authorizing the District Engineer or Public Works Director to submit applications and execute documents for and on behalf of the District related to receiving financial assistance from Cal OES, including FEMA Disaster Relief Declaration No. 4683.
