Cupertino Municipal Code, provide any input, and make a recommendation to City

Background
The emergency management program includes the preparation and carrying out of plans for
the protection of persons and property within this City in the event of an emergency, the
direction of the emergency organization, and the coordination of the emergency functions of
this City with all other public agencies, corporations, organizations, and affected private
persons. All City departments and partner agencies constitute the emergency management
program, which is facilitated by the Office of Emergency Services, which is being proposed to
be changed to “Office of Emergency Management,” consistent with industry best practice.
The purpose of the Disaster Council is to provide input and guidance to the emergency
management program and facilitates input by stakeholders in the preparation, implementation,
and evaluation of the program. The Disaster Council also provides oversight for the California
State Disaster Service Worker Volunteer Program (DSWVP) through the Citizen Corps
organization.
Discussion
Updates to Chapter 2.40 of the Municipal Code have been developed to provide clear and
effective guidance for emergency management activities. The Emergency Management
Accreditation Program (EMAP), the California Office of Emergency Services, and best practices
from other jurisdictions have been used to identify recommended changes. Minor updates
were also made for pronoun usage, formatting, and clarity for current terminology without
material change.
The substantive recommended changes are summarized as follows:
# Change Reason Jurisdictional Examples
1 Title of Chapter changed from Disaster
Council to Emergency Management Program
The scope of the ordinance covers the Emergency
Management Program of which the Disaster
Council is a component.
- County of Santa Clara
- City of San Jose
2 Renamed the “Office of Emergency
Services” to the “Office of Emergency
Management”
The name “Office of Emergency Management”
better describes the management and coordination
responsibility of the organization rather than direct
emergency service provision such as law
enforcement and fire services.
- County of Santa Clara
- City of San Jose
3 Changed designated chair from Mayor to
City Manager; changed designated vice
chair from City Manager to Mayor
As the Mayor’s term is only one year and to keep
consistency in the Disaster Council, it is
recommended to have the City Manager as Chair
and the Mayor as Vice Chair.
- Los Altos Section 2.28.050
- Los Altos Hills Section 4-1.06
- Hermosa Beach, CA Section 2.56.030
4 Clarified voting members as follows:
- Chair
- Vice Chair
- Department Heads
Such representatives of civic, business, labor,
veterans, professional, or other organizations
having an official emergency responsibility,
as may be appointed by the chair with the
advice and consent of the governing body to
advise the voting members.
This modification more clearly defines those
members that have voting power in the Disaster
Council and that other members may be
appointed to advise the voting members. The
current Code lists “Section Chiefs (City
Department Heads or their designee)” as
members but section chiefs are not always
department heads, so this amendment seeks to
clarify this ambiguity.
Many other cities refer to section
chiefs of emergency services as
mentioned in the emergency plan.
However, this is not straightforward
as the individual to actually fill the
role of section chief will rotate
through shifts. These roles are often
initially assumed by department
heads.
5 Added a statement that Disaster Council shall
comply with the California Emergency
Services Act.
This statement is required for the Emergency
Management Program to follow the California
Emergency Services Act.
- California Emergency Services Act
(Chapter 7 of Division 1 of Title 2 of
the Government Code)
- California Code of Regulations, Title
19, Division 2, Chapter 2,
Subchapter 3, §2571
6 Clarified Powers and Duties of Disaster
Council and the Director of Emergency
Services:
- Clarified that meeting frequency is at the
discretion of the chair but not less than once a
year
-Broadened the description of the Disaster
Service Worker Volunteer program
-Removed redundant wording and clarified
the advisory role in development of plans
and agreements
Updated for clarity and to meet requirements of
the Emergency Management Accreditation
Program Standard1.
- City of Saratoga Section 6-05.050
7 Clarified the penalties to violations of
Chapter 2.40 to include administrative
citations as well as misdemeanor penalties.
- The City may address violations of this
Chapter by issuing administrative
citations, fines, and penalties as set forth
in Chapter 1.10 of this Code.
Alternatively, the City may prosecute any
violation of this Chapter as a
misdemeanor, punishable as provided in
Chapter 1.12 of this Code. Law
enforcement officers of the Santa Clara
County Sheriff’s Office are authorized to
enforce this Chapter.
Updated to facilitate appropriate penalty and
efficient enforcement of emergency orders under
Chapter 2.40. The administrative enforcement
mechanism authorized by this Chapter
compliment and does not displace existing civil
and criminal enforcement.
- County of Santa Clara Ordinance
No. NS-9.291
1 Emergency Management Accreditation Program, “The ANSI/EMAP 5-2019 Emergency Management Standard by EMAP.” 2019.
https://emap.org/index.php/what-is-emap/the-emergency-management-standard
On October 8, 2020, the Public Safety Commission reviewed the first six proposed amendments.
The Commission unanimously recommended the amendments for adoption by the City
Council, with Commissioner Nellore absent. The Commission discussed the amendments and
had no dissenting opinions.
Upon further review after the Commission meeting, the seventh proposed amendment was
added to facilitate appropriate penalty and efficient enforcement of emergency orders under
Chapter 2.40. The administrative enforcement mechanism proposed by this amendment
provides administrative and criminal enforcement options proportional to the violation of a
local emergency order.
The proposed amendments are expected to go before the City Council in November 2020.
Sustainability Impact
None anticipated.
Fiscal Impact
None anticipated.
