Commission Meeting
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution Accepting and Adopting Updated Local Mitigation
Strategy Document
DATE: August 16, 2010
SUBMITTED BY: David L: f inpson, Asst. City Manager
BACKGROUND:
Duval County has recently updated its Local Mitigation Strategy Plan. This plan is
required to be updated periodically, and the updates are made with input from other
governmental agencies as well as the private sector. Atlantic Beach has participated in
this process for a number of years.
This document provides the basis for mitigation planning and its associated grant funding
for all of Duval County. A resolution adopting the plan is a requirement for Atlantic
Beach to remain eligible for mitigation grant funding. In the past, the City of Atlantic
Beach has received several grants... the most recent was $282,000 for the Salt Air Sewer
Rehabilitation project. Atlantic Beach has also received the initial approval to submit an
additional pre - disaster mitigation grant application for $349,100 for the new police
building.
The Local Mitigation Strategy plan is fairly long, and a copy of the document is available
from the City Clerk and on the Atlantic Beach website.
BUDGET: Approval of this resolution does not obligate Atlantic Beach to spend any
money. However, it opens the door for Atlantic Beach to apply for local mitigation
strategy grants.
RECOMMENDATIONS: To approve the attached resolution.
ATTACHMENTS: Resolution No. 10 -11
