With the adopted FY 2018-19 budget, the City Council endorsed the approach of partnering with <br />the County of San Mateo to support the City of Redwood City in providing the Community Emergency <br />Response Team (CERT) program to the Redwood City and San Carlos communities. The CERT program <br />equips community volunteers to aid their neighbors in the event of a disaster. The agenda item documents <br />this partnership. <br />ANALYSIS <br />An agreement was created with the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office to create a partnership within the <br />Office of Emergency Services (OES) to oversee the CERT program for Redwood City and San Mateo County. <br />The agreement is provided as Attachment A. Through this partnership, a dedicated CERT Coordinator will <br />serve both Redwood City (and San Carlos, as the Redwood City Fire Department provides San Carlos with <br />CERT services as part of the fire services contract) and San Mateo County. This agreement establishes a <br />50/50 shared approach, with 50% of the CERT coordinator position cost and time dedicated to Redwood <br />City and 50% of the CERT coordinator position cost and time dedicated to San Mateo County. This <br />agreement increases the amount of time focused on providing CERT services to Redwood City. <br />City of Redwood City 1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood City, CA. 94063 Tel: 650-780-7000 www.redwoodcity.ore <br />168 <br />
