Subject: Adopt a Resolution to Designate and Authorize Agent(s) to Act on Behalf
of the City in the Processing of Disaster Claims Related to the Lilac Fire
Recommended Action
Adopt a Resolution designating and authorizing agent(s) to act on beha lf of the city in the
processing of disaster claims for the purpose of obtaining certain state and/or federal
assistance related to the Lilac Fire.
Executive Summary
In order to apply for federal and/or state financial assistance for costs incurred by the city as a
result of the Lilac Fire, the city must designate and authorize an agent to act on its behalf. To do
this, the attached California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) Form 130, Designation of
Applicant's Agent Resolution for Non-State Agencies, must be approved by City Council.
Discussion
The city will be applying for FEMA disaster relief for the Lilac Fire (FEMA-5228-FM-CA) disaster
event which occurred in December 2017.
In order to complete the application process, the city must designate and authorize an agent to
act on its behalf on the attached Cal OES Form 130, Designation of Applicant's Agent Resolution
for Non-State Agencies. This application allows for the designation, by job title/position, and
authorization for up to three individuals to act as the agent on behalf of the city.
This item designates and authorizes the City of Carlsbad City Manager, the Administrative
Services Director or the Finance Director to act as the authorized agent of the city in matters
relating to disaster relief and emergency assistance. The Cal OES Form 130 will be filed with the
California Office of Emergency Se rvices and will remain valid for three years.
An employee's job title/position will be designated rather than an individual's name. The city
will provide Cal OES a list of names of individuals fulfilling the job title/position set forth on the
form. If an individual assigned to a particular job title/position changes, an update letter may be
sent to Cal OES; this process will avoid having to amend the Cal OES Form 130 resolution.

emergency assistance.
Environmental Evaluation (CEQA)
Pursuant to Public Resources code section 21065 and the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) Guidelines Section 15378, this action does not constitute a "project" within the meaning
of CEQA in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical change in the environment
or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and therefore does not
require an environmental review.
