A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE,
CALIFORNIA, TERMINATING THE PROCLAMATION OF LOCAL
EMERGENCY DUE TO THE AIRPORT FIRE
Whereas, on September 10, 2024, the City Manager of the City of Lake Elsinore
proclaimed a local emergency pursuant to Lake Elsinore Municipal Code Section 2.20 in response
to the Airport Fire, which posed an immediate and significant threat to public health and safety;
and
Whereas, the Airport Fire resulted in the evacuation of 6,000 residents and businesses,
disrupted local services, and required the activation of the City’s Emergency Operations Center
(EOC) to coordinate response efforts; and
Whereas, under Government Code Section 8630(b), the Proclamation must be ratified by
the City Council within seven (7) days to remain in effect; and
Whereas, the City Council ratified the Proclamation by Resolution No. 2024-46 on
September 12, 2024 (the "Resolution"); and
Whereas, the declaration of a local emergency assisted in a coordinated public safety
response to this fire emergency in order to protect lives and property of the citizens of the City;
and
Whereas, California Government Code Section 8630, et seq., requires that the City
Council of the City of Arcadia review, at least every 60 days until such local emergency is
terminated, the need for continuing the local emergency; and
Whereas, California Government Code Section 8630, et seq. requires that the City
Council of the City of Lake Elsinore proclaim the termination of the local emergency at the earliest
possible date that conditions warrant; and
Whereas, the City Council does hereby find that due to the significant containment efforts
by fire crews and progression of the fire away from the City of Lake Elsinore and now in recovery
efforts, there is no longer a need to continue the Declaration of Local Emergency;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE DOES
HEREBY RESOLVE, DECLARE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: The City Council finds and determines that the foregoing recitals are true and
correct and hereby incorporates them in this Resolution.

public safety measures in response to Airport Fire, but finds and determines that the
broad authorities inherent under a local emergency are no longer necessary in the City of Lake
Elsinore.
Section 3: The City Council declares that current conditions no longer warrant the
continuation of the previously declared local emergency relating to the Airport Fire and as a result
such proclamation of local emergency is hereby terminated.
