RESOLUTION NO. 11719
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE

AGENTS OF THE CITY OF ORANGE FOR THE
PURPOSE OF OBTAINING FEDERAL AND STATE
DISASTER ASSISTANCE (CAL OES FORM 130)
WHEREAS, the City of Orange (Cal OES ID No. 059-53980) is a public entity established under the laws of the State of California and is eligible to apply for and receive certain federal financial assistance under Public Law 93-288 as amended by the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act of 1988, and state financial assistance under the California Disaster Assistance Act; and
WHEREAS, the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) requires each applicant for such assistance to have on file a current Designation of Applicant’s Agent Resolution for Non-State Agencies (Cal OES Form 130) approved by the applicant’s gover ning body, and further requires that a new resolution be submitted whenever a previously submitted resolution is more than three (3) years old from its last date of approval; and
WHEREAS, on February 13, 2018, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 11061 designating the City’s Authorized Agent for such purposes, and that resolution, together with an Authorized Agent designation subsequently submitted in 2023, has expired; and
WHEREAS, Cal OES has confirmed that the City of Orange has no current Designation of Applicant’s Agent Resolution on file, and adoption of a new resolution is necessary for the City to apply for, receive, and administer federal and state disaster assistance funding; and
WHEREAS, designating the Authorized Agent by position title rather than by the name of an individual allows the designation to remain effective notwithstanding changes in City personnel; and
WHEREAS, the City Manager serves as the Director of Emergency Services for the City of Orange and is the appropriate officer to execute and file applications for disaster assistance on the City’s behalf; and
WHEREAS, Cal OES Form 130 permits the designation of up to three (3) Authorized Agents by title, and the designation of alternate agents ensures that the City can meet federal and state submission and certification deadlines during the absence of the City Manager or during an emergency activation.
