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 with <br /> many other communities throughout California experienced a period of heavy <br /> rainfall and flooding from a system of rainstorms that passed 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 a <br /> collapse of one channel and damage to another channel. Further, several trees <br /> 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-up for <br /> the fallen trees was $9,652. The loss from these storms totals approximately <br /> $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 for a <br /> 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 75% of <br /> the City's losses with the State of California reimbursing the City the remaining <br /> 18.75% and the City responsible for the remaining 6.25%. The City may be <br /> reimbursed approximately $431 ,250 from an estimated $460,000 in losses. <br /> Resolution No. 2017-017 <br /> Page 1 of 3 <br />
