Title
Consider recommendations regarding a Public Works Director’s Report on emergency response actions from impacts of flooding and storms and continuation of emergency actions, First District, as follows: (4/5 Vote Required)
Acting as the Board of Supervisors and Board of Directors, Flood Control and Water Conservation District:
a) Receive and review a report from the Public Works Director regarding emergency actions taken pursuant to Resolution No. 15-321 and Public Contract Code section 22050 related to emergency operations responding to flooding, storms, and debris removal following the January 9, 2018 storm and the necessity of the action and the reasons the emergency will not permit delay resulting from competitive solicitation of bids;
b) Determine that there is a need to continue the emergency action ordered by the Public Works Director; and
c) Find that the proposed actions are associated with emergency response and are therefore statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Guideline Sections 15269(c) actions necessary to prevent or mitigate an emergency that does not have a low probability of occurrence, and that a CEQA Exemption for this project was approved by the Board and filed by the Clerk of the Board on February 27, 2018, therefore no new Categorical Exemption is required for the approval of the recommended actions.
