Analysis:
The City of Huntington Beach was awarded up to $7,500 for oil spill response equipment. The grantor requires for the grantee, the City of Huntington Beach, to adopt a resolution to accept grant funds from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Office of Spill Prevention and Response for Oil Spill Response Equipment. A grant agreement would also need to be signed to accept the grant for oil spill response equipment in an amount not to exceed $7,500. If Resolution No. 2025-76 is approved by the City Council, then staff will review the agreement with the City Attorney’s Office for City Attorney review and approval before accepting these grant funds.
The grant would provide an amount not to exceed $7,500 for general operating expenses, which includes funding for oil spill response equipment staging, such as booms for oil response and containment.
