recommended by the City Manager due to the torrential rain and earth movement beginning

The areas affected by storm damage and continued earth movement included the Marbella
condominium project, the residential homes beneath the slope on Agua Duke Court, the
residential homes beneath Las Olas Court, and the Jefferson Street damage adjacent to
Buena Vista Lagoon. Staff is available to answer any questions the Council may have on
the measures taken to address this local emergency and what future measures will be
considered.
The Council adopted Resolution No. 2005-099 at its meeting of Tuesday, April 5, 2005,
adopted Resolution No. 2005-124 at its meeting of Tuesday, April 26, 2005, adopted

meeting of June 28, 2005, and adopted Resolution No. 2005-225 at its meeting of Tuesday,

flooding has now ended but there is a continuing need for damage repairs, assessments
and mitigation measures, erosion control measures and other measures to further prevent
perilous damage and to ensure the health and safety of the citizens of Carlsbad.
State law requires that the Council review the status of the local emergency at least every
21 days and extend it until it is terminated and there is no longer a need for emergency
powers and that the situation has resulted in conditions which are now deemed to be within
the control of the normal protective services, personnel, equipment and facilities of the City.
If Council deems it appropriate, staff will present a report on the scope of this emergency,
the responses to it and the necessity and appropriateness of future response actions.

damaged public property within the City; however, only $6,158,000 has been appropriated
to date. The remaining $300,000, which was authorized on June 14, 2005 and was
designated for the Marbella project, was not appropriated because there were not sufficient
funds remaining in the Council Contingency account. Staff is now requesting that the
$300,000 be appropriated from the General Fund balance.
