FISCAL IMPACT: The declaration of a local emergency and submittal of a resolution to the state will qualify county jurisdictions to apply for emergency funding for storm damage repair. BACKGROUND: A landslide triggered by heavy rains rushed through a half-dozen San Pablo backyards on Thursday, March 24, leaving fissures and moving debris and chunks of hillside. Homes affected by the landslide are in the 5900 block of Wyman Street and the 5900 block of Hillcrest Road, according to the city. San Pablo City Manager R. Matt Rodriguez issued the proclamation on Sunday citing conditions of "extreme peril", paving the way for relief from the State Office of Emergency Services (Cal-EMA).

County Ordinance Code section 42-2.302 empowers the County Administrator to proclaim the existence or threatened existence of a local emergency if the board of supervisors is not in session. County Administrator David Twa issued such a proclamation on March 28, 2011 concerning the City of San Pablo storm damage. Today's resolution will ratify the March 28 action of the County Administrator and possibly broaden the areas identified as having storm-related damage based on more current information, which is being continually received. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Failure to file a resolution with Cal-EMA will prevent county jurisdictions from receiving state aid for disaster relief. CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
