1) That at the time of the Proclamation(s) the City Council was not in session; and,
2) that conditions of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property have arisen within

evacuations of residents in Lake Elsinore, affecting approximately 1000 homes in the
communities of Rice Canyon, McVicker and Machado; and,

resulting in significant damage to public and private property, including approximately
17 structures damaged on December 6, 2018; and,
4) winter storm systems continue to threaten additional runoff from the scorched
surrounding canyons into Lake Elsinore which cause increased toxins altering the
water chemistry of the Lake and resulting in fish die -offs on a scale not seen before
which together pose a threat to public health and safety; and,
5) McVicker Canyon, Rice Canyon, Leach Canyon and Dickey Canyon will continue to
drain mud and debris during every rain storm, threatening public safety of the citizens
of Lake Elsinore, along with the lake's ecosystem, indicating that assistance is
necessary to support the response, recovery and remediation efforts: and,
6) the aforesaid conditions of extreme peril are beyond the control of the services,
personnel, equipment and facilities of the City of Lake Elsinore's lake management
and water quality resources and the County of Riverside that provides fire protection,
fire prevention, rescue, and medical emergency services to the City pursuant to a
Cooperative Agreement; and,
7) the aforesaid conditions of extreme peril warrant and necessitate the Proclamation of
a Local Emergency; and
WHEREAS, on January 22, 2019 the City Council found that the aforesaid conditions of extreme
peril continued to pose a threat to public health and safety beyond the control of the services,
personnel, equipment and facilities of the City of Lake Elsinore and the County of Riverside that
provides fire protection, fire prevention, rescue, and medical emergency services to the City
pursuant to a Cooperative Agreement and, by Resolution No. 2019 -002, ratified the findings
