RECOMMENDATION
Accept this report on proposal to establish a disaster relief fund .
BACKGROUND
On March 28, 1989, your Board referred to the Office of Emergency
Services, a letter from Michael Jurich, San Pablo, suggesting a
disaster relief fund be established to assist in the recovery from
any kind of natural disaster. The fund would consist of citizens'
voluntary contributions.
The county already has a Disaster Relief fund which is used to
account for the receipt and disbursement of federal and state
disaster aid . Money currently in the fund , representing
reimbursement for the county' s cost of administering the fund , is
available to pa.y the initial costs of future disasters pending the
receipt of additional federal or state funds.
The bulk of disaster relief funds comes from the federal
government based on damage claims Submitted by local
jurisdictions . Any county funds spent on disaster relief come
from locally generated revenue. Any citizen may supplement these
funds with contributions to the county, specifying that such
contributions are to be used only. for disaster relief purposes.
