SUBJECT: ITEM #7a – APPROVE THE 2025 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
FOR SAN LUIS OBISPO
Staff received the following question regarding the 2025 SLO County Multi-Jurisdictional
Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP). The question is below with staff’s response shown in
italics:
1) Does the LHMP identify new projects that would be added to the Capital
Improvement Plan?
Potentially; Mitigation Action Number SL27 in Table G-29 of annex G recommends
the City create climate resilience hubs by collaborating with internal and external
stakeholders to protect vulnerable populations during extreme climate events. For
instance, if the community desired City operated cooling centers, a CIP project
may be needed to make facility improvements. Staff are also currently pursuing
grant funds for a potential resilience hub project. Most of the other mitigations
have little to no cost or are already identified in current or future CIP projects.
Proposed CIP projects over $25,000 would follow the City’s Capital Plan during
the FY27-29 budget process unless otherwise directed by Council.
