1 AGENDA _ September 28, 2010 COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR SUSAN S MURANISHI DONNA LINTON COUNn' ADMINISTRATOR ASSiSTANT COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR September 23, 2010 Honorable Board of Supervisors County of Alameda 122] Oak Street, Suite 536 Oakland, California Dear Board Members: SUBJECT: APPROVE RESOLUTIONS DESIGNATING ALTERNATE COUNTY SEATS FOR BOTH ALAMEDA AND CONTRA COSTA COUNTIES IN THE EVENT OF A DISASTER RECOMMENDAT10NS: A Approve the attached Resolution (Attachment A) designating the Alameda County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) at 4985 Broder Boulevard, Dublin, CA; the County Fairgrounds at 4501 Pleasanton Drive, Pleasanton, CA; and the Martinelli Center, 7986 TesIa Road, Livermore, CA as potential alternate county seat locations in the event ofa disaster; and B. Approve the request from the Board of Supervisors of Contra Costa County in their attached Resolution No. 2010/458 (Attachment B) designating the Alameda County Emergency Operations Center in Dublin as a potential alternate County seat location in the event ofa disaster, and adopt the attached resolution (Attachment C) which defines these actions. DISCUSSION/SUMMARY: On November 21, 1961, File #98772, your Board approved a resolution designating the County Fairgrounds in Pleasanton as the alternate County seat. Ifa declared disaster occurred that caused significant damage to County facilities, the Board of Supervisors may determine to move the County seat to an alternate location outside of the affected area. In these circumstances, official business of the County would be conducted from the alternate location until such time as the original County facilities were repaired or rebuilt OAK STREET.

2 Honorable Board Members Page 2 September 23, 2010 Currently, the alternate County seat is designated as the COWlty Fairgrounds in Pleasanton. Board ofsupervisor offices could be relocated to the Heritage House, and County Administrative Offices could be relocated to other available locations on the Fairgrounds campus not in use for incident response activities. Since much has been learned in recent years about potential seismic risks within Alameda COWlty, your Board may also want to consider designating additional sites for a COWlty seat further east. The Board may designate the EOC in Dublin and the Martinelli Center in Livennore as locations convenient for the Alameda County public and possibly outside of the seismically impacted area. Designating several possible locations will provide flexibility to the Board and the County Administrator to select the most appropriate location for the specific circumstances. In July, staff from Contra Costa County contacted the COWlty Administrator's Office requesting use of the Alameda County EOC as an alternate County seat during a disaster. On September 21,2010 the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors approved the attached Resolution 2010/458 designating Diablo Valley College (DYC) located at 321 Golf Course Road in Pleasant Hill, and the Alameda County EOC as alternate County seat locations. They have requested that Alameda County adopt their attached resolution to complete the agreement and have requested the same action from DYe. Depending upon the nature of incident response activities, the Alameda COWlty EOC may be able to provide adequate space to serve as an alternate County seat for either Alameda or Contra Costa counties. Ifa disaster is widespread, the EOC will likely be fully activated for Operational Area response, and the other designated sites for both counties would be used. FUNDING: No additional appropriations are required, and there will be no increase to County net cost associated with this Board action. If relocation were required, Alameda COWl1y would invoke MOU with the respective property owners and provide compensation ifrequired. Respectfully submitted, Susan S.
