CA TITLE: - CONTINUATION OF THE DECLARATION OF LOCAL EMERGENCY DEPT. HD. I CITY ATTY. CITY MGR. Adopt Resolution No. 2005-327 declaring a continued state of local emergency, authorization to seek reimbursement from state and federal agencies. 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.
