RESPONSE TEAM
WHEREAS, the City of Atascadero is at risk of a hazardous

support its own hazardous materials response team that complies with
State and Federal regulations; and

Department of Transportation, California Highway Patrol, Office of
Emergency Services and others, completed a three year analysis of the
impacts and capabilities of local emergency responders in hazardous
materials related incidents; and
WHEREAS, the results of this analysis clearly indicate that the
best approach to handling a hazardous materials incident is the
development of a county-wide Regional Hazardous Materials Response
team; and
WHEREAS, participation in the San Luis Obispo County.
Regional Hazardous Materials Response Team will provide the City of
Atascadero with a qualified, cost-effective and locally controlled
hazardous materials emergency response system authorizing
participation.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Council of the
City of Atascadero authorizes the Atascadero Fire Department to
participate in the San Luis Obispo County Regional Hazardous
