THE SUBJECT SLOPE AREA BETWEEN EL CAMINO REAL AND TRIESTE DRIVE, GENERALLY BEHIND THE BACKYARDS OF THE FOUR RESIDENTS SHOWN IN THIS PROJECT, LIMIT GRAPHIC ON YOUR ON THE SLIDE HAS EXPERIENCED SOIL MOVEMENT.
THE CITY HAS A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT TO REPAIR THE SLOPE.
THE PROJECT INVOLVES A SLOPE AND HOMES THAT WERE CONSTRUCTED IN 1975.
DUE TO THE UNEXPECTED WATER INTRUSION, THE SLOPE EXPERIENCED MOVEMENT IN 2020.
THE RAINFALL EVENTS OVER 2023 AND 2024 WET SEASON HAVE EXASPERATED THE SITUATION, CAUSING ADDITIONAL WATER TO ENTER THE SLOPE AND CAUSE ADDITIONAL MOVEMENT.
TO ADDRESS THE EMERGENCY, A SERIES OF SLOPE STABILITY PINS AND GRADING ACTIVITIES ARE PROPOSED TO ASSIST STABILIZING THE SLOPE TO PREVENT FURTHER MOVEMENT UNTIL A PERMANENT REPAIR CAN BE COMPLETED.
THE CITY HAS THE ABILITY TO DECLARE A LOCAL EMERGENCY UNDER MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 6.04 AND DECLARATION OF LOCAL EMERGENCY MUST BE RATIFIED WITH BY THE CITY COUNCIL WITHIN SEVEN DAYS.
THE DECLARATION OF LOCAL EMERGENCY INCLUDES THAT IMMEDIATE REPAIR.

MISS BURKHOLDER. NO QUESTIONS, JUST COMMENTS.
MISS LUNA. I'M SORRY, MISS ACOSTA.
MISS BHAT-PATEL. ONE QUICK QUESTION.
THE PRICE, IS THERE SOMETHING WE CAN GET GRANT MONEY FOR, OR IS THERE SOMETHING THAT'S COVERED BY STATE EMERGENCY SERVICES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, OR IS THAT JUST OFF OUR DIME? THAT'S OUR CURRENT ESTIMATE.
WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR GRANT OPPORTUNITIES AND WHERE WE CAN GET ADDITIONAL FUNDING.
OKAY. COMMENTS MISS BURKHOLDER.
THANK YOU. YEAH, I JUST WANTED TO COMMENT.
THIS IS IN MY DISTRICT, AND I KNOW IT'S SOMETHING TOP OF MIND FOR YOUR DEPARTMENT, SO I WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR JUST TRYING TO RENDER THIS IN A SUFFICIENT MANNER AND IN A SUFFICIENT TIME FRAME.
SO I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU AND HOPEFULLY THIS WILL BE RESOLVED FINALLY.
BUT WHEN WE DO HAVE AN ISSUE, OUR STAFF BRING IT TO US IMMEDIATELY AND WE TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS.
SO I'M VERY PROUD THAT WE HAVE THAT.
AND THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT TEAMWORK.
I ALSO WANTED TO ADD TO THE MAYOR'S COMMENT ABOUT FINDING FUNDING ELSEWHERE.
THERE WILL BE CLIMATE RESILIENCY FUNDING COMING DOWN FROM THE STATE SOON, SO HOPEFULLY WE'RE PREPARED FOR THAT AND WE CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT MONEY WHEN IT BECOMES AVAILABLE THANKS.
