Department Recommendation:
Staff recommends that Council approve Resolution 2024-53 renewing the position of City Manager and Assistant City Manager and adding the position of Finance Director as authorized agents for official correspondence with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (CalOES).
Background Discussion:
FEMA and CalOES require that each local government agency have designated authorized agents for the purpose of filing official correspondence and renew the designation every 3 years. The designation allows for a timely exchange of information during times of disaster or during the process of hazard mitigation grants or recovery grants. The City of Visalia has designated 3 positions as Authorized Agents, City Manager (Leslie Caviglia), Assistant City Manager (John Lollis), and Finance Director (Renee Nagel). CalOES requires this process be approved by a governing body through resolution.
Fiscal Impact:
None
