on options for strategic deployment of resources, focusing on very high-
hazard severity zones, fire corridors, and other high-risk areas identified
through historical data and fire modeling. The report should look to
include recommendations for the LAPD and LADOT to be staged in the
same locations as the LAFD, so they can jointly review evacuation plans,
monitor conditions, and collaborate on emergency procedures.
3. INSTRUCT the CAO and EMD, in consultation with relevant City
departments, to provide a cost estimate for the enhanced deployment
model, including recommendations for identifying dedicated funding
sources within each department’s budget to cover staffing and resource
deployment during anticipated Red Flag days.
Fiscal Impact Statement: Neither the CAO nor the Chief Legislative Analyst
has completed a financial analysis of this report. |

is balanced against established revenue approved by Council actions and from
Federal and State grant receipts. All funding is subject to the availability of
grant funds and determinations by the Mayor and Council. Accepting the grant
and approving the recommendations in the CAO report are in compliance with
the City’s Financial Policies, as the grant funds are fully reimbursing the
General Fund for grant-eligible activities. |
