RESOLUTION NO. 996
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF GILROY AUTHORIZING THE COUNTY OF
SANTA CLARA TO CONDUCT A FEASIBILITY STUDY TO DETERMINE IF THE
CITIES CIVIL DEFENSE ADMINISTRATIVE DUTIES SHOULD BE PERFORMED
BY THE COUNTY.
WHERAS, cities, counties, the state and federal governments have
developed complex programs to deal with civil defense and
disaster preparedness, and
WHERAS, said plans and programs are constantly changing so as
to require competent and professional personnel on a per-
manent basis to keep abreast of voluminous publications and
regulations, prepare a wide variety of reports, conduct ex-
tensive training programs and exercises and keep operational
plans current, and
WHERAS, there is currently a possibility of wasteful duplication
of effort associated with civil defense functions in Santa
Clara County, especially with the recognition that it is
extremely unlikely that any natural or war time disaster
will respect govecnmental boundaries in'our metropolitan
County.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City
of Gilroy
a~ Expresses its recognition and appreciation for the
efforts and activities of the County Civil Defense
Coordinator.
b) Respectfully requests the Board of Supervisors of Santa
Clara County to initiate a feasibility study to de-
termine the merit and practicality of broadening and
better centralizing local civil disaster responsibility
through permissive contractual arrangements with cities
whereby:
1) Contracting cities would annually pay a portion
of the County Civil Defense operation based upon
a pre-determined charge formula.

.
2) County would provide local civil defense functions
including receipt and review of current regulations,
the preparation of recommended disaster plans,
recommendations for the acquisition of civil defense
materials and equipment and the preparation of
necessary reports.
