CONSENT AGENDA
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
At 12:00 P.M. on January 12, 2017, in the absence of the Director of Emergency Services and while the Board of Supervisors was not in session the Deputy Director of Emergency Services in response to major flooding in the North portion of San Benito County and rain damage/flooding throughout San Benito County, proclaimed a local emergency effective January 6, 2017. Per Ordinance No. 833, the Board of Supervisors ratified the Proclamation issued by the Deputy Director on January 17, 2017.
Due to the recent Pacheco Creek Flooding and the effects heavy rainfall throughout San Benito County and the financial impact this event has had on the residents of the County and the County itself, the Deputy Director requested the Governor to Proclaim a State of Emergency for San Benito County.
On January 23, 2017, the Governor did proclaim a State of Emergency for the State of California, including the County of San Benito.
This resolution relates to the letting of emergency contracts under Public Contracts Code 22050, and must be reviewed by the Board of Supervisors at every regular meeting until the need for emergency action terminates.
