RESOLUTION PROCLAIMING TERMINATION OF A LOCAL
EMERGENCY
City Manager's Office
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt a resolution proclaiming termination of a local emergency.
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 winds and fire commencing on
or about 10:00 a.m.. on October 21, 2007. These conditions of extreme peril warranted and
necessitated the proclamation of the existence of a local emergency throughout the City.
Preliminary damage estimates from the local emergency are $2 million in public damages and
$20 million in private damages. The public costs include fire damage to irrigation systems in the
roadway medians, transit and traffic control costs for evacuations, Emergency Protective
measures for downed trees and curb and gutter damage, and debris removal. The private costs
include structural damages, property damages, and personal losses. Forty-five (45) buildings
were damaged by wind or fire; of these, eight (8) were total building losses.
The Director of Emergency Services of the City did proclaim the existence of a local emergency
within the City on October 22, 2007, ratified by the City Council on October 23, 2007. This
local emergency no longer exists, and its termination is proclaimed by the City Council.
