SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Confirming Resolution No. 2006 -2539, 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
The Director of Emergency Services proclaimed the existence of a local emergency
throughout the city of Moorpark on Sunday, December 3, 2006, at 7:20 a.m. due to the
Shekell Fire. Under Government Code Section 8630, the City Council must ratify this
proclamation within seven days to continue the local emergency. In addition, the City
Council must review the need to continue the proclamation at lease every 21 days until the
local emergency is terminated.
