ITEM ` . A • NNOWWOM
Kim C. Chudoba, Senior Management Analyst K
October 30, 2003 (Special CC Meeting of 10/31/03)
SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Confirming Resolution No. 2003 -2136,
a Resolution of the Director of Emergency Services of the
City of Moorpark Proclaiming the Existence of a Local
Emergency.
BACKGROUND
A Local Emergency may be proclaimed by the City Council or the
Director of Emergency Services (City Manager) when the City Council
cannot immediately be called into session. Such proclamations are
normally made when there is an actual incident or threat of
disaster or extreme peril to the safety of persons and property
within the City.
The proclamation of a Local Emergency authorizes the undertaking of
extraordinary police powers, provides limited immunity for
emergency actions of public employees and governing bodies,
authorizes the issuance of orders and regulations to protect life
and property (i.e., curfews), and activates pre- established local
emergency provisions such as special purchasing and contracting.
DISCUSSION
Due to the 2003 California Fires, the Director of Emergency
Services proclaimed the existence of a Local Emergency throughout
the City of Moorpark on Sunday, October 26, 2003, at 5:00 a.m. The
City Council must ratify this proclamation within seven days. In
addition, the City Council must review the need to continue the
proclamation at least every 21 days until the Local Emergency is
terminated.
