RESOLUTION NO. 22-XXX
A RESOLUTION OF THE CUPERTINO CITY COUNCIL
ACCEPTING THE ANNUAL EVALUATION REPORT FOR FY22 (YEAR 1) OF THE 2021 SANTA CLARA COUNTY MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL PROGRAM FOR PUBLIC INFORMATION WHEREAS, in 1968, the United States Congress passed the National Flood Insurance Act creating the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The NFIP was designed to reduce future flood losses through local floodplain management programs and provision of flood insurance to those most in need. The NFIP requires that participating communities adopt certain minimum requirements intended to reduce future flood losses; and WHEREAS, in 1990, the NFIP implemented the Community Rating System (CRS) as a voluntary program for recognizing and encouraging community floodplain activities that exceed the minimum NFIP standards; and WHEREAS, in 2005, the City of Cupertino was admitted to the CRS. The City’s participation in the CRS program gives flood insurance policy holders a discounted premium; and WHEREAS, in 2013, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the agency responsible for implementing the NFIP, updated the CRS program by adding new elements to encourage each participating community to increase efforts in promoting CRS goals; and WHEREAS, one of the new public outreach elements of the CRS program is the formation of a Multi-Jurisdictional Program for Public Information (PPI) that will encourage targeted outreach to a larger regional area; and WHEREAS, in 2015, the first Santa Clara County Multi-Jurisdictional PPI (2015 PPI) was approved by the Santa Clara Valley Water District Board for use by communities within Santa Clara County that participate in the CRS program; and WHEREAS, every five years, the PPI must be updated and adopted by the governing bodies of all participating communities in order to continue receiving CRS credit for the PPI activity. The 2021 Santa Clara County Multi-Jurisdictional PPI (2021 PPI) is the updated five-year plan adopted by the Santa Clara Valley Water District.
WHEREAS, in 2020, the City of Cupertino, along with other communities in Santa Clara County, worked with the Santa Clara Valley Water District to update the 2015 PPI. The 2021 PPI was developed jointly and must be approved by a community’s governing body in order to provide enhancement to the local agency’s CRS program; and WHEREAS, on August 17, 2021, the City Council of the City of Cupertino adopted Resolution No. 21-073 accepting the 2021 PPI; and WHEREAS, in each subsequent year, FEMA requires an annual evaluation report be created to describe PPI implementation within the fiscal year. The Annual Evaluation Report for FY22 (Year 1) is the first annual evaluation report of the 2021 PPI; and WHEREAS, in 2022, the City of Cupertino, along with other communities in Santa Clara County, worked with the Santa Clara Valley Water District to create the annual report. The annual report must be shared with a community’s governing body in order to continue receiving CRS credit for the PPI activity.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council does hereby accept the Annual Evaluation Report for FY22 (Year 1) of the 2021 Santa Clara County Multi-Jurisdictional Program for Public Information.
