Title
Consider recommendations regarding the Public Works Director’s Report on Emergency Response Actions 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 actions taken pursuant to Resolution No. 19-327 and Public Contract Code section 22050 related to emergency operations responding to flooding, storms, and debris removal following the recent 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 actions ordered by the Public Works Director;
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 the recommended actions are statutorily exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15269(c) actions necessary to prevent or mitigate an emergency that does not have a low probability of occurrence and direct the staff to file a Notice of Exemption with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors on that basis.
