CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: MARCH 16, 2021 ITEM NUMBER: CC-9
SUBJECT: OPERATIONAL AREA AGREEMENT JURISDICTION APPROVAL
DATE: FEBRUARY 23, 2021
FROM: POLICE DEPARTMENT
PRESENTATION BY: JASON DEMPSEY, EMERGENCY SERVICES ADMINISTRATOR
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: JASON DEMPSEY (714) 754-5333
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends City Council approve the Operational Area (OA) Agreement
(Attachment 1) and authorize submittal of the approved Operational Area Agreement to
the County of Orange.
BACKGROUND:
The Operational Area Agreement formally organizes the County of Orange and its
political subdivisions as the Orange County Operational Area for purposes of
emergency management coordination, as required by the State of California’s
Standardized Emergency Management System. First approved in 1995 (Attachment 2),
the document lays out a framework for interjurisdictional cooperation and the
responsibilities of the County of Orange and its individual subdivisions. This document
was reviewed and approved by the County of Orange and the 100+ political
subdivisions that make up the Orange County Operational Area. It has served as the
foundation for nearly 25-years of regional emergency management collaboration.
In 2017, the Orange County Sheriff’s Department Emergency Management Division
began a process (Attachment 3) to revise the Operational Area Agreement to account
for changes in emergency operations plans, incorporate advances and new
perspectives in the emergency management discipline, and ease administration of
Operational Area functions. The Operational Area Agreement Revision Working Group
was formed and met for more than a year to develop an updated document which takes
into account new programs and paradigms at the local, state, and federal level, as well
as lessons learned from more than 20- years of administering the existing framework.
Following an extensive review and revision process in 2018 and 2019, the revised
Operational Area Agreement was approved by the County Board of Supervisors on
March 24, 2020. The Agreement must now be approved by each individual jurisdiction
in the Orange County Operational Area.

ANALYSIS:
The new Operational Area Agreement (Attachment 4) developed by the Operational
Area Agreement Revision Working Group has major structural and significant content
changes from the original 1995 document. Agreement sections were reorganized to
make the document easier to understand, reference, and was reformatted to align with
the Emergency Management Division’s plan document style guide more closely. A
complete crosswalk of structural changes is available on request from the Emergency
Management Division.
The major content changes are outlined below:
New Operational Area Executive Board Members
Five new Operational Area Executive Board seats were added to the body to represent
the interests of the Operational Area more accurately. The following seats were added:
• The County Executive Officer
• The Orange County Social Services Agency Director
• The Operational Area Water/Wastewater Mutual Aid Coordinator
• A representative selected jointly from the Orange County Community College
Districts
• The Orange County Transportation Authority Chief Executive Officer
Orange County Emergency Management Organization (OCEMO) Update
Since the 1995 Agreement was approved, OCEMO has transitioned to a simpler model
than was outlined in the original document. Several changes were made in the new
Agreement draft to reflect the current operational practices of OCEMO and ensure
alignment with the new OCEMO bylaws approved in 2018. However, the major shift was
the removal of the OCEMO Representative Board, which has not been practically in use
for a decade or more. The new draft also provides clarity on the nature of the
administrative support provided to OCEMO by the County of Orange (Attachment 5).
Operational Area Coordinator Staffing
The 1995 Agreement specifically outlined which agencies are responsible for staffing the
Operational Area Coordinator (OAC) position. At the time of approval, this staffing
arrangement aligned with the staffing of the Director of Emergency Services (DES)
position and was meant to outline additional responsibilities for the DES during an
Operational Area-wide incident. Since approval, the County Ordinance that defines staffing
for the DES role was updated by Board Resolution and created a conflict with the original
OAC staffing arrangement. To rectify this conflict and to prevent similar issues in the
future, the language in the updated draft was streamlined to reference the County
Ordinance and Resolution rather than separately defining OAC staffing.
3
Operational Area Finance
The new Operational Area Agreement includes a significant reworking of language related
to Operational Area finances, grant funding, and administration. Relevant language once
contained in Addendum 2 (See Addendums section below) is now incorporated in the
main body of the agreement. Language referencing specific grant programs was replaced
with broader language that reflects the shifting nature of grant funding and the challenges
of grant administration. The new language also addresses lessons learned related to the
financial aspects of mutual aid and disaster recovery.
Addendums
The 1995 Agreement, as approved, had three addendums that addressed various issues
brought forth during the development of the original document. Addendum 1 clarifies roles
and responsibilities for the Operational Area, the Operational Area Executive Board, and
the Operational Area Coordinator. Addendum 2 includes documents related to the
administration of the Emergency Management Assistance Program grant that no longer
exists. Relevant portions of these two addendums were incorporated into the main body of
the new Agreement draft as appropriate.
Addendum 3 is the Operational Area Mutual Aid Plan. This critical document will become
an attachment to the Unified County of Orange and Orange County Operational Area
Emergency Operations Plan. This will put the Mutual Aid Plan on a more defined schedule
of review and revision.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:
The City Council may opt not to approve the Operational Area Agreement. This would
have no impact to how the Operational Area Agreement functions.
FISCAL REVIEW:
No fiscal impact.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney’s Office has reviewed and approved these documents as to form.
CITY COUNCIL GOALS & PRIORITIES:
This item supports the City Council Goal: Strengthen public safety and keep the
community safe.
4
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends City Council approve the Operational Area Agreement (Attachment 1)
and authorize submittal of the approved Operational Area Agreement to the County of
Orange.
