BACKGROUND
Ordinance No. 89-6 of the City of Santa Clarita empowers the Director of Emergency Services
to proclaim the existence, or threatened existence, of a local emergency when said City is
affected or likely to be affected by a public calamity. Conditions of extreme peril to the safety of
persons and property have arisen within the City caused by severe storms and flooding
commencing on or about 10:00 a.m. on January 7, 2005. These conditions of extreme peril
warranted and necessitated the proclamation of the existence of a local emergency throughout
the City. When a local emergency is proclaimed, City Council must review the need to continue
the proclamation at least every 14 days until the local emergency is terminated.
The current local State of Emergency remains in effect since emergency protective measures are
still ongoing.
The Director of Emergency Services of the City did proclaim the existence of a local emergency
within the City on January 8, 2005. This local emergency shall be deemed to continue to exist
until its termination is proclaimed by the City Council.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
1. Decline adoption of Resolution.
