2007-197 terminating the Local State of Emergency and
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
City Council adopt Resolution No..
declaring that the emergency has been abated as provided for in the Public Contracts Code
and may now be responded to within normal Public Works contracting procedures.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
On July 6, 2007 the City Manager declared a State of Local Emergency because the insurance
company for the owner or pilot of the airplane that crashed into the Crossings at Carlsbad Golf
Course or its independent claims management company reneged on its promises to pay for
remedial cleanup. Emergency funds were authorized for the commencement of the cleanup
work by the City and by the Public Financing Authority. That action was ratified by the City
Council at its meeting of Tuesday July 10, 2007.
The cleanup, removal and restoration of the crash site is underway and is expected to take
several months to restore to its playable condition just prior to the airplane crash.
The City and the Public Finance Authority will look to the aircraft owners and operator as well
as any other potentially responsible party for complete recovery of its costs in abating this
emergency and repair and restoration of the golf course.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City Council appropriated funds in the amount not to exceed $500,000 for mitigation,
transportation and disposal of hazardous materials at its meeting of July 10, 2007. The Public
Financing Authority authorized a change order to its existing contract with Wadsworth Golf
Course Construction Company in an amount not to exceed $250,000 to repair the damage
caused by the airplane crash. A full and complete accounting of all costs will be forwarded to
the City Council when they are finally determined.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
Emergency projects are statutorily exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section
15269.
