Council expenditure appropriation is required for all new appropriations in excess of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) or as otherwise specified by City Council Policy F-3; WHEREAS, the City regularly applies for Eligible Grants from the Federal Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency ("FEMA"), which are administered by the State of California Governor's Office of Emergency Services ("Cal OES"). As part of all such applications for Eligible Grants, Cal OES requires that the City submit written authorization from the City Council providing specific standard assurances that the City Council, on behalf of the City, agrees (a) to provide all matching funds required for the project specified in the grant application and that any cash match will be appropriated as required, (b) that any liability arising out of the performance of the grant agreement shall be the responsibility of the City, (c) that grant funds shall not be used to supplant expenditures controlled by the City Council, and (d) that the City official executing the grant agreement is authorized to do so (collectively, the "Standard Assurances"); WHEREAS, the City's applications for Eligible Grants to Cal OES can be for amounts under thirty thousand dollars ($30,000) and are therefore not required to be brought to the City Council for approval. Notwithstanding, the City Council must still provide the Standard Assurances for each such application for an Eligible Grant in order for the City to apply for such Eligible Grants; and Resolution No. 2016-116 Page 2 of 3 WHEREAS, the purpose of this Resolution is for the City Council to provide written authorization of the Standard Assurances to Cal OES for all applications of the City for all Eligible Grants not otherwise required to be approved by the City Council per Council Policy F-3. Notwithstanding, this Resolution is not intended to circumvent any requirement in City Council Policy F-3 regarding all grants of thirty thousand dollars ($30,000) or more and all new appropriations in excess of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) or as otherwise specified by City Council Policy F-3. NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Newport Beach resolves as follows: Section 1: The City Council does hereby provide written authorization to Cal OES that, for all Eligible Grants for which the City applies: (a) the City Council and City will provide all matching funds required for the project specified in the grant application and that any cash match will be appropriated as required, (b) that any liability arising out of the performance of the grant agreement shall be the responsibility of the City, (c) that grant funds shall not be used to supplant expenditures controlled by the City Council, and (d) that the City Manager and/or Police Chief are hereby authorized to execute the grant agreements on behalf of the City and take any actions necessary to implement such grant agreements. Section 2: The recitals provided in this resolution are true and correct and are incorporated into the operative part of this resolution. Section 3: If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this resolution is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity or constitutionality of the remaining portions of this resolution. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this resolution, and each section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase hereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared invalid or unconstitutional. Section 4: The City Council finds the adoption of this resolution is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly. Section 5: This resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by the City Council, and the City Clerk shall certify the vote adopting the resolution.
