16 <br />Staff Report <br />To: Mike Morrison, City Manager <br />From: John Malenick, Fire Chief <br />Date: November 9, 2010 <br />Re: Hennepin County Mitigation Plan <br />Background: Historically, St. Anthony has adopted and participated in the Hennepin <br />County Multi -Jurisdictional All -Hazards Mitigation Plan. This plan is a guide to <br />permanently reducing or eliminating short and long-term risk to people and their property <br />from the effects of hazards such as tornados, floods, severe storms, drought, <br />earthquakes and winter storms. The scope of the plan covers the municipalities and <br />unincorporated areas of Hennepin County for strategies, implementation and funding <br />alternatives. This plan is required under section 409 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster <br />Relief and Emergency Assistance Act and has been formally adopted by each <br />participating entity and is required to be updated a minimum of every five years. <br />Recommendation: Currently, the plan has been updated with new risk assessment <br />information and new mitigation objectives, goals and strategies. St. Anthony's objectives <br />for the next 5 years include: installation of a new warning siren to cover park on the north <br />end of city, backup/store city files and records in alternate location and replace <br />undersized storm water pipes (on gong with street reconstruction). Participation in this <br />county wide plan is necessary to securing future grant funding for some mitigation <br />projects. For this reason I am requesting the city of St. Anthony adopt the Hennepin <br />County Hazard Mitigation plan by resolution at the earliest convenience. <br />Attachments: <br />- Summary of Hennepin County Multi -Jurisdictional All Hazard Mitigation Plan <br />- Letter from Hennepin County requesting adoption <br />Resolution 10-077; Adoption of the Hennepin County All -Hazard Mitigation Plan <br />Thank you for your consideration in extending our participation in this plan. <br />John Malenick, Fire Chief <br />a Page 1 <br />
