CityCouncil | 2016-06-21 | 22 | ceremonial head of the City are missing; the ordinance is the implementing document, so the Charter does not have to be interpreted in the event of an emergency. The City Manager stated an Emergency Operation Plan (EOP) and update on the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is coming to Council soon; tonight's issue is a model developed by the State and has options for public consideration; a lot of different issues will be addressed when the EOP is brought back. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated most of the Council agrees that the Disaster Council is a body that reports through the City Manager back to the Council; she would like to get the ordinance passed first, then address any clarifications about the Charter; she does not understand why the Disaster Council has to have the additional language as proposed by Councilmember Daysog. Councilmember Oddie stated he hopes that the plan which comes before the Council will be consistent with the Charter and would encompass everything discussed tonight. *** (16-313) Mayor Spencer stated a motion is needed to continue the meeting past 11:00 p.m. Vice Mayor Matarrese moved approval. Councilmember Daysog seconded the motion, which carried by the following voice vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Ezzy Ashcraft, Matarrese and Oddie - 3. Noes: Councilmember Daysog and Mayor Spencer - 2. The City Attorney stated the ordinance does not just discuss the role of the Disaster Council, it also discusses the role of the Director of Emergency Services, which may be a little confusing; clarified the Disaster Council is made up of the group of people which Council appoints to make recommendations to the Council to adopt policy; the City Manager is the Director of Emergency Services and is the actual implementer in the event of an emergency; the Disaster Council has no role in declaring an emergency; the Charter states the same regarding the role of the Disaster Council, which is a planning and pre-disaster preparedness group. Councilmember Daysog stated that he does not think the ordinance is consistent with the City Charter. The Fire Captain stated the City has an EOP in place, adopted in 2008, which gives the same guidance. On the call for the question, the motion failed by the following voice vote: Ayes: Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft and Oddie - 2. Noes: Vice Mayor Matarrese and Mayor Spencer - 2. Abstentions: Councilmember Daysog - 1. Regular Meeting Alameda City Council June 21, 2016 | CityCouncil/2016-06-21.pdf |
