During the period of January 17 through January 22, 1988, the City of Chula
Vista experienced along with other areas of Southern California high winds
that resulted in damage to City-owned property. The Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) was in the City reviewing damage caused by the wind
to many of the street trees within the City of Chula Vista. As a result of
the President of the United States declaring the area a federal disaster area,
the City of Chula Vista is eligible to receive a reimbursement for funds spent
on debris clean-up and restoration of damaged City property.
RECOMMENDATION:
a. That the City Council authorize the Deputy Director of Public
Works/Operations to request reimbursement for damages occurring January 17
through 22, 1988.
b. That the City Council authorize the purchase of 62 street trees and
appropriate $2,000 from the Unappropriated General Fund Reserve.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
FEF1A regulations require that one individual from each public agency be
designated to file the request for reimbursement. Staff is recommending that
the Deputy Director of Public t~!orks/Operations be designated by the City of
Chula Vista to file this request for reimbursement. The damage in the City
amounted to $17,807.10 and approved by the State and Federal disaster review
team. FEMP. will reimburse 75% of the total damage or $13,355.
The permanent damage to City property resulted in the removal of 62 street
trees. Staff has been getting bids on 15 gallon trees in a range of $28-$32

each. (The 15 gallon tree is the size that we normally plant as
replacements.) The purchase of trees for the current fiscal year has been
made and the replacement of trees at this magnitude requires a special
appropriation to the Street Tree Maintenance Division of the Public Works
Department. Should the City not perform the tree replacement, we would not be
eligible for reimbursement from FEMA for this portion of the work and
materials associated with that storm damage. FEMA will still reimburse the
City for 75~ of the debris cleanup costs.
FISCAL IMPACT: $2,000 needs to be appropriated from the unappropriated
reserve of the General Fund to the Street Tree P~aintenance Division account.
