RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council consider:
1. Adopting a resolution declaring a Local Emergency resulting from the Windstorm and Firestorm Events identified on or about January 7, 2025, ratifying the City Manager’s Administrative Declaration of Emergency dated January 16, 2025, ratifying the City Manager’s Order for Urgency Abatement, and authorizing the City Manager to directly negotiate contracts pursuant to Public Contract Code §§ 20168 and 22050;

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On January 7, 2025, Los Angeles and Ventura Counties experienced severe wind events and devastating fires that caused widespread damage to private and public property in local communities leaving infrastructure, buildings, and roads damaged or destroyed. The events also resulted in power outages, downed trees, and significant debris. Locally, the City of Monterey Park (“City”) was impacted by these events resulting in the need of immediate response from City employees and contractors. While City employees continue to assess the impacts from these events, the Public Works Director (“Director”) and Fire Chief (“Chief”) identified risks to City operations and emergency responses. The Director and Chief recommend that the City Council adopt a resolution ratifying the City Manager’s administrative declaration of emergency regarding the recent wind events and fires to protect public health, safety, and general welfare.
Staff Report
January 21, 2025
CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):
The Resolution and the actions anticipated by the Resolution were reviewed pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., “CEQA”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of Regulations §§15000, et seq., the “CEQA Guidelines”). Based upon that review, the proposed action is exempt from further review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15269(a) because the protection of public and private property is necessary to maintain service essential to the public, health and welfare.
1 BACKGROUND:
The unprecedented catastrophe resulting from the Windstorm and Firestorms throughout the Greater Los Angeles Region prompted the City Manager to declare a local emergency on January 16, 2025. This action was desirable for several different reasons includin g, without limitation, the following:
• The widespread structure destruction and damage will result in increased prices for construction products and contractor services. Expediting the City’s ability to secure contracts for capital improvement projects is in the public interest. Many of the approved public works projects are intended to improve vital infrastructure such as water, stormwater, and wastewater facilities.
• The Governor’s Executive Order dated January 12, 2025, directs state agencies to streamline building approvals. It is in the public interest for the City to jumpstart that process to assist with developers seeking to build within the City’s jurisdiction. • Fire prevention is always critical. The current emergency, however, starkly emphasized the immediate need to exercise the City’s police powers to protect public health and safety. This, among other things, includes undergrounding power lines to the greatest extent practicable.
• The City expended public resources (personnel, equipment, gas, etc.) while assisting neighboring jurisdictions during this emergency. It is in the public interest for the City to seek reimbursement from federal and state agencies for these costs.
As to public works projects, t he widespread destruction of structures will reduce the available contractors in the region. This will likely further increase the cost of construction for all projects including, without limitation, public works projects previously approved by the City Council via the capital improvement plan (“CIP”). It is vital that the City take immediate action to secure contractors needed to complete the CIP as many of these projects involve improvements to critical infrastructure within the City including, without limitation, water infrastructure necessary for firefighting. 1 see CalBeach Advocates v. City of Solana Beach (2002) 103 Cal.App.4th 529 (CEQA findings regarding an anticipated imminent emergency are valid).
Staff Report
January 21, 2025
Ordinarily, the Public Works Department would schedule bidding in accordance with the Public Contract Code (“PCC”) to complete CIP projects. However, the risk of price gouging and availability of resources poses a local risk to the City’s ability to complete infrastructure repairs and improvements through its regular contracting procedures.
Consequently, the inability to complete some of these projects in a timely manner could threaten public health and safety.
The wind events and ongoing fires demonstrate the need for a proactive approach in mitigating and preventing such tragedies. The Eaton Canyon fire was started as a result of overhead power lines coming into contact with vegetation. As of the writing of thi s report, the fire has resulted in 16 fatalities, destroyed over 4,500 structures, and is approximately 45% contained.
2 The undergrounding power lines through underground
utility districts can significantly reduce the risk of fires with downed power lines.
The establishment of an Underground Utility District on Monterey Pass Road between W.
Garvey Avenue and Vagabond Drive was approved by City Council on July 20, 2022.
This project would be the City's fourth major Rule 20A undergrounding project since 1968.
Monterey Pass Road is a major North-West collector through the City of Monterey Park that carries a significant volume of traffic. The estimated cost for the undergrounding is $6.8 million as provided in the Preliminary Rough Order of Magnitude Cost Estima te by SCE. Under Rule 20A, each utility company, at its own expense, is required to underground its overhead facilities within the public right -of-way and up to 100 feet on private property. The affected utility companies include SCE, AT&T, Frontier, Veriz on Wireless, Time Warner and Crown Castle.
It is anticipated that the undergrounding of utilities on Monterey Pass Road will significantly reduce the risks of a major fire in the City. Five of the property owners in the affected area on Monterey Pass Road have been entirely unresponsive to the City’s efforts.
If adopted, the Resolution would ratify the City Manager’s decision to issue an emergency order to abate a public nuisance on approximately five properties where the property owners are either non-responsive or non-cooperative. The abatement would include, without limitation, securing a public utility easement upon these properties to allow installation of underground power lines.
While the City continues to assess the impacts of current and future events, the proposed Resolution will address risks to reduce the magnitude of negative impacts to the community and help in the preservation of public health and safety. As cleanup continues from the devastating winds and fires, local, regional and state governments continue to estimate damage costs. The City of Monterey Park is no different and will be seeking reimbursement for its response to the events. The Chief, Police Chief, and Director recommend that City Council adopt the proposed resolution which would allow staff to seek reimbursement for the cleanup efforts and damages sustained during these events.

Staff Report
January 21, 2025
FISCAL IMPACT:
There are various costs associated with implementing the proposed Resolution. Some of these were previously budgeted, e.g., the undergrounding project and certain CIP projects. Others, however, are unknown at this time, e.g., the full cost of providing mutual aid. To the extent practicable, the City will seek full recovery of its costs.

ABATEMENT, AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO DIRECTLY
NEGOTIATE CONTRACTS PURSUANT TO PUBLIC CONTRACT CODE
§§ 20168 AND 22050
The City Council does resolve as follows:
SECTION 1: The City Council finds and declares as follows:
A. Conditions of extreme peril to the safety of persons exist following the Governor’s Proclamation of Emergency dated January 7, 2025 due to the Palisades Fire, Eaton Canyon Fire, and windstorm conditions (the “LA Emergency”).
B. The fires causing the LA Emergency have collectively burned more than 40,000 acres, devastating communities throughout the Greater Los Angeles Basin by destroying or damaging more than 12,000 structures.
C. Reports from the City Manager, the Fire Chief, and Police Chief confirm that the City expending multiple public resources to help mitigate the effects of the LA Emergency including, without limitation, providing equipment, personnel, and mobilization throughout the Greater Los Angeles Basin.
D. The destruction of homes by the fires burning in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties will reduce the available contractors in the region, which is likely to further increase the cost of construction for all projects including, without limitation, public works projects previously approved by the City Council via the capital improvement plan (“CIP”).
E. It is vital that the City take immediate action to secure contractors needed to complete the CIP as many of these projects involve improvements to critical infrastructure within the City including, without limitation, water infrastructure necessary for firefighting.
F. Assessing the totality of the circumstances, the City Manager declared a local emergency effective January 16, 2025 (“Local Emergency”). A copy of the Local Emergency is attached as exhibit “A,” and incorporated by reference (“Emergency Declaration”).
2 G. Under such emergency conditions, the City Council finds that the delay resulting from public bidding would imperil essential public services.
H. Pursuant to Public Contracts Code (“PCC”) § 20168, the City Council may, upon a four -fifths vote, declare that public interest and necessity demand the immediate expenditure of public money to safeguard life, health, or property because of an emergency.
I. In accordance with PCC §§ 20168 and 22050, the City Council may repair or replace a public facility, take any directly related and immediate action required by that emergency, and procure the necessary equipment, services, and supplies for those purposes, without giving notice for bids to let contracts.
J. The circumstances of the Local Emergency prompted the City Manager, in consultation with the Fire Chief, to identify various methods to reduce the immediate threat of fires within the City’s jurisdiction and avoid exasperating the LA Emergency.
K. One preventative measure is to underground power lines within the City.
Such a project is currently underway for the MPR District established by Resolution No. 2022-R71, adopted August 17, 2022. Implementing the undergrounding contemplated by the MPR District is an essential feature for fire prevention (see, e.g., Memorandum dated January 16, 2025 from Fire Chief Chris Thompson) and is reflected in Southern California Edison’s (“SCE”) policy to proactively turn off power during high wind events such as the LA Emergency (see, e.g., Quantitative and Qualitative Factors for PSPS Decision-Making [SCE; Rev. November 6, 2023]).
L. The circumstances of the LA Emergency and Local Emergency emphasize the immediate need to protect public health and safety by undergrounding power lines expeditiously for fire prevention.
M. SCE and the Public Works Director have repeatedly attempted to secure the voluntary cooperation of properties to underground power lines within the MPR District. They report challenges from owners of real property (“Nuisance Properties”) refusing to cooperate with the City and SCE in undergrounding power lines. The location of these Nuisance Properties are set forth in the Order for Urgency Abatement in attached Exhibit “B,” which is incorporated by reference (“Abatement Order”).
N. This Resolution, and its findings, is based upon the entirety of the record considered by the City Council at its January 21, 2025 meeting including, without limitation, the factual references identified in this Resolution, the staff report accompanying this Resolution , and the entire administrative record regarding the LA Emergency, the Local Emergency, and the
3 Nuisance Properties.
SECTION 2: Environmental Assessment. This Resolution and the actions anticipated by this Resolution were reviewed pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., “CEQA”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of Regulations §§15000, et seq., the “CEQA Guidelines”). Based upon that review, this action is exempt from further review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15269(a) because the protection of public and private property is necessary to maintain service essential to the public, health and welfare (see, CalBeach Advocates v. City of Solana Beach (2002) 103 Cal.App.4th 529: CEQA findings regarding an anticipated imminent emergency are valid).
SECTION 3: Ratification of Local Emergency; Request for Assistance. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Resolution and considering the emergency described above, the City Council takes the following actions:
A. The City Council ratifies the Emergency Declaration.
B. Based upon the entirety of the record, a local emergency exists within the City’s territorial limits. Subject to the limitations in this Resolution, the City Manager, as the Director of Emergency Services, is empowered to carry out all emergency powers conferred upon her as the Emergency Servic es Director by local and state laws, and by all other lawful authority, as may be necessary to protect life and property.
C. The City Attorney is authorized to take such legal action that is required to enforce this Resolution and the City Manager’s abatement actions including, without limitation, initiation of litigation, without additional City Council authority.
D. The City Manager is authorized to take all steps necessary to protect public health, safety, welfare and property including, without limitation, awarding and executing contracts in accordance with PCC § 22050; MPMC Chapters
2.52 and 3.100; and MPMC §§ 3.20.050(1) and 3.90.040.
E. The City Manager and City Attorney are directed to request from the California Office of Emergency Services (“CalOES”) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”) technical expertise, resources, and financial assistance
SECTION 4: Ratification of Abatement Order. The City Council authorizes the City Manager, or designee, to undertake the following actions:
A. The City Council ratifies the Abatement Order.
B. Under such emergency conditions, the City Council finds that allowing the
4 Nuisance Properties to imperil neighboring properties – and the greater Monterey Park community – is unconscionable and constitutes an imminent threat to public health and safety.
C. The City Council further finds these violations amount to a public nuisance that creates an imminent hazard to a person or persons, or to other real or personal property, warranting emergency action to abate an imminent hazard pursuant to MPMC § 4.30.180.
D. If the Nuisance Properties fail to fully cooperate with the City’s implementation of the MPR District, as determined by the City Manager, within five business days (by January 27, 2025), then the City Manager and City Attorney may utilize all legal means t o enter the Property and perform any abatement necessary to accomplish the undergrounding of power lines in accordance with the MPR District requirements including, without limitation, acquiring necessary public utility easements. The costs of such abatement including, without limitation, legal costs, will be charged to the Nuisance Properties on a time and materials basis.
E. Directs the City Manager and the City Attorney to take all steps necessary to recoup all costs to abate the public nuisances on the Nuisance Properties including, without limitation, pursue nuisance abatement lien s and/or special assessment against the Nuisance Properties pursuant to MPMC Chapter 4.30, civil lawsuit, or by any other lawful means.
F. To the extent practicable, the City Manager, or designee, is required to utilize reasonable efforts to select responsible contractors at the lowest price to complete nuisance abatement at the Nuisance Properties.
SECTION 5: Reporting. Government Code § 8630 requires that the City Council review a local emergency at least once every 60 days. The City Manager is directed to report back to the City Council within this time frame regarding implementation of this Resolution including, without limitation, the Emergency Declaration and Abatement Order.
SECTION 6: Preservation. This resolution does not affect any penalty, forfeiture, or liability incurred before, or preclude prosecution and imposition of penalties for any violation occurring before, this Resolution’s effective date. Any such amended part will remain in full force and effect for sustaining action or prosecuting violations occurring before the effective date of this Resolution.
SECTION 7: Severability. If any part of this Resolution or its application is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the City Council intends that such invalidity will not affect the effectiveness of the remaining provisions or applications and, to this end, the provisions of this Resolution are severable.
5 SECTION 8: Reliance On Record. Each and every one of the findings and determinations in this Resolution are based on the competent and substantial evidence, both oral and written, contained in the entire record relating to the project. The findings and determinations constitute the inde pendent findings and determinations of the City Council in all respects and are fully and completely supported by substantial evidence in the record as a whole.
SECTION 9: Limitations. The City Council’s analysis and evaluation of the project is based on the best information currently available. It is inevitable that in evaluating a project that absolute and perfect knowledge of all possible aspects of the project will not exist. One of the major limitations on analysis of the project is the City Council’s lack of knowledge of future events. In all instances, best efforts were made to form accurate assumptions. Somewhat related to this are the limitations on the City’s ability to solve what are in effect regional, state, and national problems and issues. The City must work within the political framework within which it exists and with the limitations inherent in that framework.
SECTION 10: Summaries of Information. All summaries of information in the findings, which precede this section, are based on the substantial evidence in the record.
The absence of any particular fact from any such summary is not an indication that a particular finding is not based in part on that fact.
SECTION 11: Construction. This Resolution must be broadly construed in order to achieve the purposes stated in this Resolution. It is the City Council’s intent that the provisions of this Resolution be interpreted or implemented by the City and others in a manner that facilitates the purposes set forth in this Resolution.
SECTION 12: Electronic Signatures. This Resolution may be executed with electronic signatures in accordance with Government Code §16.5. Such electronic signatures will be treated in all respects as having the same effect as an original signature.
SECTION 13: The Mayor, or presiding officer, is hereby authorized to affix his signature to this Resolution signifying its adoption by the City Council of the City of Monterey Park, and the City Clerk, or her duly appointed deputy, is directed to attest thereto.

6 SECTION 14: This Resolution will become effective immediately upon adoption and remain effective unless superseded by a subsequent resolution.

City Manager’s Office
DECLARATION OF LOCAL EMERGENCY
The City Manager finds:
Following the Governor’s Proclamation of Emergency dated January 7, 2025 due to the Palisades Fire and windstorm conditions (the “LA Emergency”), and subsequent Executive Orders (e.g., EO N-4-25 dated January 12, 2025), I find a local emergency to exist within the City of Monterey Park effective January 16, 2025 (“Local Emergency”) pursuant to Monterey Park Municipal Code (“MPMC”) §
2.52.060(a)(1).
The fires causing the LA Emergency have collectively burned more than 40,000 acres, devastating communities throughout the Greater Los Angeles Basin by destroying or damaging more than 12,000 structures. Initial estimates suggest that the resulting economic impact will exceed $200 billion making the LA Emergency the most destructive in California history and, potentially, the United States.
The destruction of homes by the fires burning in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties will reduce the available contractors in the region, which is likely to further increase the cost of construction for all projects including, without limitation, public works projects previously approved by the City Council via the capital improvement plan (“CIP”). It is vital that the City take immediate action to secure contractors needed to complete the CIP as many of these projects involve improvements to critical infrastructure within the City including, without limitation, water infrastructure necessary for firefighting. A list of the approved CIP is attached as Exhibit “A,” and incorporated by reference. The Public Works Director is directed to take all steps needed to secure contractors to complete the projects identified within the CIP.
Additionally, the City Attorney is requested to assist in completing such tasks through all legal means.
On January 12, 2025, the Governor issued Executive Order N -4-25 (the “EO”).
Among other things, the EO mandates that State agencies:
1. “review and provide a report to [the Governor] with recommendations regarding any provision of the [California] Building Standards Code, Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations, that should be suspended for projects … in order to facilitate rapid, safe, and cost - effective rebuilding and recovery.”
2. “coordinate with local governments to identify and recommend procedures, including but not limited to exploring the use of pre - approved plans and waivers of certain permitting requirements, to
establish rapid permitting and approval processes to expedite the reconstruction or replacement of residential properties destroyed or damaged by fire. The recommended procedures shall have the ultimate goal of issuing all necessary permits and approvals within 30 days.”
The Planning Director is directed to identify and recommend regulations within the MPMC that will help fulfill the EO’s intent and present those findings to the City Manager within 30 days for consideration.
The Finance Director, in coordination with the Fire Chief and the Police Chief, is directed to request from the California Office of Emergency Services (“CalOES”) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”) technical expertise, resources, and financial assistance. The City Attorney is requested to assist in completing such tasks through all legal means.

Fol
lowing the Governor’s Proclamation of Emergency dated January 7, 2025 due to the Palisades Fire and windstorm conditions (the “LA Emergency”), and subsequent Executive Orders (e.g., EO N-4- 25 dated January 12, 2025), I declared a local emergency pursuant to Monterey Park Municipal Code (“MPMC”) § 2.52.060(a)(1) to exist within the City of Monterey Park effective January 16, 2025 (“Local Emergency”).
In i
mplementing the Local Emergency, I am informed by the Fire Chief and the Public Works Director that owners of real properties located at 500, 524, 573, 598 and 665 Monterey Pass Road are refusing to cooperate with the City and Southern California Edison (“SCE”) in undergrounding power lines (“Nuisance Properties”).
As stated in the declaration from Fire Chief Chris Thompson (dated January 16, 2025), undergrounding power lines is an essential feature for fire prevention.
SCE’s policy in proactively turning off power during high wind events such as the LA Emergency is directly related to fire hazards resulting from downed overhead power lines.
SC
E and the Public Works Director have repeatedly attempted to secure the voluntary cooperation of the Nuisance Properties to underground the power lines.
The circumstances of the LA Emergency emphasize the immediate need to protect public health and safet y by undergrounding power lines expeditiously for fire prevention. Allowing the Nuisance Properties to imperil neighboring properties – and the greater Monterey Park community – is unconscionable and constitutes an imminent threat to public health and safety.
Cons
equently, I am utilizing Monterey Park Municipal Code (“MPMC”) § 4.30.180 to abate the public nuisances on the Nuisance Properties on an urgency basis.
The Fire Chief and Public Works Director are directed to take all steps needed to ensure that the power lines servicing the Nuisance Properties are undergrounded in accordance with SCE’s Rule 20A plans and specifications for that District.
Additionally, the City Attorney is requested to assist such urgency abatement efforts and to take all legal action necessary under this Order for Urgency Abatement.

City of Monterey Park • Fire Department
DATE: January 16, 2025
TO: Shawn Igoe, Director of Public Works
FROM: Chris Thompson, Fire Chief
SUBJECT: Infrastructure Improvements – Underground Power Lines
As seen most recently with the January 2025 Eaton and Palisades Fires, brush fire risks continue to escalate due to climate change and urban expansion. Given the severity of the most recent fires, it is imperative to prioritize the safety and reliability of our electrical infrastructure. Transitioning to underground power lines in brush fire- prone areas offers significant benefits that warrant serious consideration:
1. Fire Risk Mitigation:
Overhead power lines are a known source of ignition during high wind events and dry conditions. Fallen lines or equipment failure can easily spark fires, making underground lines a safer alternative in areas at high risk of brush fires.
2. Enhanced Reliability:
Underground power lines are far less susceptible to damage from weather conditions, such as windstorms or falling tree limbs, which frequently disrupt overhead lines. This increases the reliability of power supply, especially during extreme weather conditions.
3. Public Safety:
By reducing the likelihood of power lines igniting fires, underground systems contribute to the safety of residents, emergency responders, and wildlife in affected regions.
4. Long-Term Cost Efficiency:
Although the initial installation costs for underground power lines are higher, they reduce the long-term financial burden associated with maintenance, repairs, and fire-related liabilities.
5. Environmental and Aesthetic Benefits:
Underground power lines eliminate the visual impact of overhead lines, preserving the natural landscape. Additionally, they reduce the need for vegetation management around poles and wires.
6. Support for Resilient Communities:
As part of broader efforts to build climate- resilient infrastructure, underground power lines align with sustainability goals and provide communities with dependable energy systems during crises.
While this transition requires careful planning and investment, the benefits of underground power lines in high- risk areas far outweigh the challenges. Implementing this change demonstrates a proactive approach to safeguarding lives, property, and the environment.
Sincerely,
Chris Thompson
Fire Chief
