CITY OF LAKEVILLE TO PARTICIPATE IN
HAZARD MITIGATION PLANNING PROCESS
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve resolution authorizing
participation in a hazard mitigation planning process under the Federal Disaster Mitigation
Act of 2000.
Passage of this motion will result in City of Lakeville participation in the All Hazard Mitigation
Plan update and revision process.
Overview
According to FDMA 2000 requirement, cities that choose to participate in the county plan
must formally adopt the All Hazard Mitigation Plan by official city resolution. This is required
for the County to secure Federal Disaster Mitigation Grants for communities should a disaster
strike. Without resolutions from all cities, federal funds will not be made available.
The City of Lakeville supported this plan in 2010. It is now up for required five year revision.
Cities choosing not to support the County’s planning process will need to develop their own
All Hazard Mitigation Plan and submit to FEMA for review.
Primary Issues to Consider
• Participation will require staff input. The time estimate of 8 hours each for 6 staff
members will be required to complete this project. This is significantly lower than
creating our own plan.

WHEREAS, the County of Dakota coordinated preparation of an initial multi-jurisdiction all-
hazard mitigation planning process as established under the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000;
and
WHEREAS, the City of Lakeville participated in drafting the plan and later reviewed and
approved the plan; and
WHEREAS, federal law requires the plan be updated every five years, and
WHEREAS, the Act requires public involvement and local coordination among local units of
government and businesses as part of the planning process; and
WHEREAS, the plan must include descriptions of land uses and development trends, risk
assessment including past hazards, hazards that threaten the county, maps of hazards, and
estimates of structures at risk; and
WHEREAS, the plan must include a mitigation strategy including goals and objectives and an
action plan identifying specific mitigation projects and costs, and a maintenance or
implementation process including plan updates, integration of the plan into other planning
documents, and public education components; and
WHEREAS, approval of the all hazard mitigation plan update will continue the County’s
