Title
Consider recommendations regarding a Public Works Director’s Report on Emergency Response Action from Impacts of Flooding and Storms and Continuation of Emergency Actions, as follows: (4/5 Vote Required)
Acting as the Board of Directors, Flood Control and Water Conservation District:
a) Receive and review a report from the Public Works Director regarding emergency action taken pursuant to Resolution No. 19-327 and Public Contract Code Section 22050 related to emergency operations to restore property adjacent to the Santa Maria River damaged by the 2023 winter storm events 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 (4/5 vote required);
c) Direct staff to return to the Board every 14 days to allow the Board to review the emergency action and determine whether there is a need to continue the emergency action, by a 4/5 vote, until the actions are terminated; and
d) Determine that this emergency action was found by the Board to be exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Executive Order N-10-23, as well as State CEQA Guidelines Section 15269(c) on September 12, 2023, and the proposed action is within the scope of that Exemption determination.
