Home My WebLink AboutItem 06.lMarch 29, 2010 U" CITY OF LAKEVILLE TO PARTICIPATE IN HAZARD MITIGATION PLANNING PROCESS Proposed Action Item No._ Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve participation in a hazard mitigation planning process under the Federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (FDMA2000). Passage of this motion will result in the 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 2006. It is now up for required 5 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. Supporting Information • See attached letter from Brandt Richardson, Dakota County Administrator gt.
