CITY OF SANTA CLARITA AGENDA REPORT
CONSENT CALENDAR
CITY MANAGER APPROVAL:1
DATE: July 14, 2020
SUBJECT: TERMINATION OF RESOLUTION PROCLAIMING EXISTENCE OF
A LOCAL EMERGENCY
DEPARTMENT: City Manager's Office
PRESENTER: Kenneth W. Striplin
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council approve a resolution proclaiming the termination of a local emergency.
BACKGROUND
Pursuant to Government Code Section 8630 and Chapter 2.40 of the Santa Clarita Municipal
Code (Ordinance No. 89-6), the City Council of the City of Santa Clarita (City) can proclaim the
existence, or threatened existence, of a local emergency when said City is affected or likely to be
affected by a public calamity.
In the days following the May 25, 2020, death of George Floyd by members of the Minneapolis
Police Department, conditions of disaster or extreme peril to the safety of persons and property
arose as a result of civil unrest that resulted in numerous acts of violence throughout the United
States and in particular, Los Angeles County (County).
Planned protests have occurred in the City since May 30, 2020, with the largest planned protest
occurring on June 4, 2020. In advance of the largest of these protests, based upon information
received by law enforcement, these conditions warranted and necessitated the proclamation of
the existence of a local emergency throughout the City in order to obtain necessary resources in
the event that the planned protests and/or counter protests were not peaceful. The planned protest
on June 4, 2020 resulted in a peaceful, non-violent march.
The Santa Clarita City Council did proclaim the existence of a local emergency within the City
on June 3, 2020. Because the protests have been peaceful, the declaration of local emergency is
no longer necessary, and its termination is proclaimed by the City Council.
