CONTINUATION OF THE DECLARATION OF
LOCAL EMERGENCY
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 20051-287
authorization to seek reimbursement from state and federal agencies.
declaring a continued state of local emergency,
ITEM EXPLANATION:
On March 15, 2005 the City Council adopted a Declaration of a Local Emergency
recommended by the City Manager due to the torrential rain and earth movement beginning
January 7, 2005. The Council received an update from staff on Friday, March 18, 2005.
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 has adopted various resolutions continuing the existence of a local emergency
since the initial declaration on March 15, 2005 even though the actual flooding has now
ended. There continues to be a need for damage repairs, assessments, 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.

A total of $6,458,000 has been approved by the Council for emergency repairs of various
damaged public property within the City. As of September 8, 2005, $ 2.3 million has been
spent on storm-related projects leaving a balance of $ 4.2 million for the remaining repair
work.
Because work to replace and/or repair damaged public infrastructures related to the winter
rainstorms continues, staff still has a need to procure additional equipment, material and
personnel assistance on an emergency basis. Prior to the conclusion of the emergency,
the Council will be presented with a full accounting of all costs including all material, labor,
regular and professional services, and the amount of reimbursement, if received, from state
and/or federal agencies.
