SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
STORM DAMAGE ASSISTANCE
The City has applied for assistance for two periods of time:
1. January 14, 1978 to January 23, 1978 - State-declared disaster (no
local resolution required)
Damage: Ani Ilo Way $ 9,800
Park Drive 3,050
Hosp Way 3,400
$16,250
Under this program only streets and highways damages are eligible.
The State pays 60% for any amount over 3% of our Gas Tax ($195,688)
which comes to $6,227 in estimated assistance funds.
2. February 5, 1978 and after - Federal-declared disaster (Council reso-
lution designating an authorized representative required)
Damage: Aggravated damages to above streets; new damages to El Camino
Real, Park trees, Calavera Dam, Corintia Street in La Costa, beach ac-
cess stairway, Alga Way and drainage channel fence near Kelly Drive.
Generally, Federal assistance covers 100% of eligible work. The Fed-
eral survey teams are still assessing the damages and some may be in-
eligible, but it appears that we will receive approximately $100,000
in Federal assistance.
Under this particular program, only public properties belonging to the
City are eligible. Private property owners are requested to contact
the coordinating office at the Escondido National Guard Armory to ap-
ply for Small Business Administration loans or assistance from the
Federal Disaster Act Administration.
