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. 99~ '> . 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.
