NOW, THEREFO E, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Dublin, State of Ohio, of the elected members concurring, that: Section 1. The Franklin County Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan is hereby adopted. Section 2. This Resolution shall take effect upon passage in accordance with Section 4.04(a) of the Revised Charter. Passed this ~~ day of ~bYCCar , 2007. Mayor -Presiding Officer ATTEST: Clerk of Council ciTi~ of rn r~-.i~ Office of the City Manager 5200 Emerald Parkway, Dublin, Ohio 43017-1006 Phone: 614-410-4400, Fax: 614-410-4490 Memo TO: Members of the Dublin City Council FROM: Jane S. Brautigam, City Manager DATE: February 15, 2007 RE: Resolution 12-07 -Franklin County Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan INITIATED BY: Mike Epperson, Chief of Police As part of a Federal Grant request, the Franklin County Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency has prepared a detailed Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan for all jurisdictions in Franklin County including Dublin. This plan identifies specific projects for each participating jurisdiction to help mitigate future natural hazard exposure. Members of our staff have reviewed the projects listed for the City of Dublin and have determined that this list needs to be updated and modified. Franklin County Emergency Management has assured us that we may revise our list of projects after April 1, 2007 to meet our community's needs. The projects would only be considered if funds are received through this grant process. In order for Franklin County to comply with regulations mandated by the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000, each participating jurisdiction must formally adopt the plan. Adoption of the plan simply means that we have identified which mitigation activities are desired in the community and that we want to be eligible for fianding should it become available. Failure to adopt the plan will result in the City of Dublin being ineligible for federal mitigation fiands through this source. In order to meet Federal deadlines, Franklin County needs a resolution adopted by City Council no later than March 1, 2007. Recommendation: Staff recommends adoption of this plan by passage of Resolution 12-07. Emergency Management and Homeland Security Olll() 5300 Strawberry Farms Blvd Columbus, Ohio 43230-1049 (614) 794-0213 (614) 882-3209 fax (614) 882-6614 after hours Franklin County Emergency Management and Homeland Security has reached the final stage of developing the "Franklin County Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan" (hereafter the Plan). After organizing resources, assessing risks, and developing a mitigation plan, the agency is ready to take the first step in the phase 4 guiding the Plan through a formal adoption process. In order to comply with regulations mandated in the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 or DMA 2000, each participating jurisdiction must formally adopt the Plan in accordance with state and local laws. Adopting the Plan is the final challenge for the multi jurisdictional planning team before implementation can begin. In addition to the requirements of DMA 2000, adoption of the Plan makes explicit that: • Incorporating this Mitigation Plan does not imply that any community is agreeing to perform and fund ameliorative activities. Adoption simply means that a jurisdiction has identified which mitigation activities are needed in their community. Should funds become available, your projects may be considered because they are included in the plan. • Federal grants can only be awarded if all parties adopt either this Plan or, conversely, create their own jurisdiction plan. • Formal action lends authority to the Plan to serve as a guiding document for all local and state government officials. • It gives legal status to the Plan in the event it is challenged in court. • For program and grant administrators it certifies that the Plan's recommendations have been properly considered and approved by the respective governing authority and the jurisdiction's citizens representatives. • It helps ensure the continuity of mitigation programs and policies over time because elected officials, staff, and other community decision-makers can refer to the official document whenever making decisions about the community's future. Before we sought adoption of the Plan, FCEM&HS agency planner, Amy Green, checked with the State Hazard Mitigation Officer of the Ohio Emergency Management Agency (~EMA) to confirm administrative procedures necessary to review plans stipulated under DMA 2000. OEMA established a procedure with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region V office in Chicago, Illinois to review the draft plan to ensure that Franklin County included all prerequisites for meeting DMA 2000 or other program requirements. This process included reviewing the planning process and drafts prior to asking governing bodies, such as yours, to adopt the Plan. The State of Ohio has given FCEM&HS permission to initiate the final February 2007 Franklin County Hazards Mitigation Plan Page 2 phase. However, in order to meet federal deadlines, we need a resolution of adoption by City Council by March 1, 2447. Attached is a sample resolution for your consideration. In addition, the action items included in the Plan are attached for your review. Once FEMA has approved the plan, the entire Franklin County Emergency Operations Plan will be distributed to each jurisdiction within the county, which will include the final version of the Mitigation Plan. If you wish a copy of the Plan in its current form, please contact Amy Green at 614/794.4213. Thank you for your sustaining our partnership and providing continuing support as we prepare to protect Franklin County from future natural hazards. Sincerely, Gary L.

After organizing resources, assessing risks, and developing a mitigation plan, the agency is ready to take the first step in the phase 4 guiding the Plan through a formal adoption process. In order to comply with regulations mandated in the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 or DMA 2000, each participating jurisdiction must formally adopt the Plan in accordance with state and local laws. Adopting the Plan is the final challenge for the multi jurisdictional planning team before implementation can begin. In addition to the requirements of DMA 2000, adoption of the Plan makes explicit that: • Incorporating this Mitigation Plan does not imply that any community is agreeing to perform and fund ameliorative activities. Adoption simply means that a jurisdiction has identified which mitigation activities are needed in their community. Should funds become available, your projects may be considered because they are included in the plan. • Federal grants can only be awarded if all parties adopt either this Plan or, conversely, create their own jurisdiction plan. • Formal action lends authority to the Plan to serve as a guiding document for all local and state government officials. • It gives legal status to the Plan in the event it is challenged in court. • For program and grant administrators it certifies that the Plan's recommendations have been properly considered and approved by the respective governing authority and the jurisdiction's citizens representatives. • It helps ensure the continuity of mitigation programs and policies over time because elected officials, staff, and other community decision-makers can refer to the official document whenever making decisions about the community's future. Before we sought adoption of the Plan, FCEM&HS agency planner, Amy Green, checked with the State Hazard Mitigation Officer of the Ohio Emergency Management Agency (~EMA) to confirm administrative procedures necessary to review plans stipulated under DMA 2000. OEMA established a procedure with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region V office in Chicago, Illinois to review the draft plan to ensure that Franklin County included all prerequisites for meeting DMA 2000 or other program requirements. This process included reviewing the planning process and drafts prior to asking governing bodies, such as yours, to adopt the Plan. The State of Ohio has given FCEM&HS permission to initiate the final February 2007 Franklin County Hazards Mitigation Plan Page 2 phase. However, in order to meet federal deadlines, we need a resolution of adoption by City Council by March 1, 2447. Attached is a sample resolution for your consideration. In addition, the action items included in the Plan are attached for your review. Once FEMA has approved the plan, the entire Franklin County Emergency Operations Plan will be distributed to each jurisdiction within the county, which will include the final version of the Mitigation Plan. If you wish a copy of the Plan in its current form, please contact Amy Green at 614/794.4213. Thank you for your sustaining our partnership and providing continuing support as we prepare to protect Franklin County from future natural hazards. Sincerely, Gary L.
