On Saturday, January 15th Governor Schwarzenegger declared certain areas within the State of California as disaster areas and the City anticipates the Governor's Declaration to extend to the entire County of Los Angeles along with other counties in the State. Such Declaration opens the possibility of Federal funding and resources for mitigation. Following the City's Declaration, staff met with all five affected property owners in the Sunset Cros ing/Minnequa area to discuss current JANUARY 18, 2005 PAGE 3 CITY COUNCIL conditions, the reasons hat certain properties were red tagged to prohibit occupancy, availability of housing assistance offered through the Red Cross, describe security measures implemented to assist in property protection and commenced discussions egarding short-term and long-term requirements of property owners to repair their properties. Today the City caused the "staking" of the landslide area through a City geologist in order to monitor the area for further land sli page. As a result of further inspection it was determined that the slide mass continues to move slightly while "airing out" because of good weather and sunshine. Based on current information it is impossible to determine whether the mass will continue to move. Ho ever, as a preventative measure, residents were advised not to occupy their homes until further notice. Because there is a need to immediately protect the hillside from further erosion, the City has, at the request of the resideni s, initiated a plan to cover the landslide area and to help correct current draine ge problems. The City will cause construction of a cover for the area and will implement sandbagging and erosion control. The homeowners will be invoiced for mitigation services when appropriate. Staff continues to work with isE ues to determine whether some of the units are appropriate for occupancy, Appropriate County, State and Federal agencies including OEM and FEMA were notified and will visit the properties within the next few work days in orde to provide eyewitness to the events that occurred on January 12 and to assist in the declaration by the President that Los Angeles County is a Disaster Area. An information sheet was provided to 85 adjacent neighbors of the affected area and the City continues to provide information about how res dents can prepare for winter storms and remain vigilant and monitor the affected properties until a final solution is reached for reconstruction of the properties. MPT/O'Connor said that several residents had contacted her offering their assistance. She also said she was in the process of contacting a bank and non-profit organizations to set up an account to receive donations for the affected residents to assist them in mitigating their properties. C/Herrera thanked staff for their intervention and reminded residents that although the City is not obligated to pay for the mitigation it is evident that the residents greatly appreciate the City's assistance in implementing immediate emergency measures and recommending competent companies for the repair work. C/Zirbes said he was shocked and devastated to see how much earth had moved. He was very glad no one was injured and thanked staff for their quick action and for taking a leadership role.

The cookbook sells for $20 and half of the purchase price goes toward supporting the choir. C/Zirbes said his kids had been involved in Dave Willard's programs for six years. He has a box of cookbooks and the books contain great recipes and make excellent gifts. The choir program is a great program and the kids that participate are award winning kids and well-respected and renowned throughout southern Calif rnia. Please support the choir.
