Recommendation
That Council approves the attached resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement to continue participation in the Alameda County Operational Area Emergency Management Organization.
SUMMARY
After the 1991 East Bay Hills Firestorm, the State passed legislation that established a standardized emergency management system, or SEMS. Part of the SEMS is the local Operational Area. Alameda County established an Operational Area in 1995, which the City of Hayward joined and rejoined in 2005. The County is now asking local agencies in Alameda County, including the City of Hayward, to continue participation in the Operation Area through 2025 with the passage of a Council resolution.
