The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines <br />and declares as follows: <br />A. Between January 18 and January 23 2017, the City of Santa Ana, along <br />with many other communities throughout California experienced a period <br />of heavy rainfall and flooding from a system of rainstorms that passed <br />over the state. <br />B. As a result of these storms, the City of Santa Ana suffered heavy damage. <br />Heavy runoff broke apart portions of two concrete storm drains resulting in <br />a collapse of one channel and damage to another channel. Further, <br />several trees fell. <br />C. Emergency clean -up and temporary repairs for the damage suffered to the <br />storm drain channels cost approximately $45,000 with permanent repairs <br />estimated to cost up to $400,000. The cost associated with street clean- <br />up for the fallen trees was $9,652. The loss from these storms totals <br />approximately $460,000. <br />D. Due to the extensive damage from the storm system, Governor Brown <br />proclaimed a State of Emergency and petitioned the federal government <br />for a Disaster Declaration which was granted. <br />E. The state Proclamation of Emergency and Federal Declaration of Disaster <br />opens up state and federal Public Assistance Disaster Recovery funding <br />resulting in the federal government reimbursing the City of Santa Ana's <br />75% of the City's losses with the State of California reimbursing the City <br />the remaining 18.75% and the City responsible for the remaining 6.25 %. <br />Resolution No. 2017 -XXX <br />55B -5 Wage 1 of 3 <br />
