Local governments are required to approve a hazard mitigation plan in order to receive <br />federal dollars for reconstruction efforts caused by natural or man-made disasters. If approved <br />by the City Council, as has been done in the past, the mitigation plan created by Ramsey County <br />will bring the City of Arden Hills into compliance with federal regulations. <br /> <br />As in the past, due to ongoing changes to federal regulations, City staff believes it is more <br />efficient for the City of Arden Hills to participate in this joint effort. It allows the City to utilize <br />the County’s expertise in emergency management preparedness and homeland security <br />requirements. A county-wide plan creates a more unified emergency response effort in light of <br />cities’ contracts with the Ramsey County Sheriff and Lake Johanna Fire Departments. <br /> <br />Due to the size of the document, the full plan is attached to this agenda packet on the City’s <br />website (2018 Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan) and can also be found at the <br />following website: https://scse.d.umn.edu/Ramsey-county-mhmp. Attachment B includes the <br />Arden Hills Mitigation Actions. <br /> <br />Attachment A: Resolution 2019-007 <br />Attachment B: Arden Hills Mitigation Actions <br />Attachment C: FEMA Letter dated January 29, 2019 <br /> CONSENT ITEM – 6I <br /> <br /> MEMORANDUM <br />
