THE IMMEDIATE EXPENDITURE OF PUBLIC MONEY TO SAFEGUARD
LIFE, HEALTH AND PROPERTY
WHEREAS, as a result of intense and excessive rain storms which have resulted in
flooding, erosion, street, public infrastructure and property damage, the City's Director of
Emergency Services (the City Manager) proclaimed the existence of a local emergency pursuant
to Chapter 2.52 of the Redlands Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, this City Council by duly adopted resolution has subsequently ratified the
proclamation of a local emergency within the City; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Public Contract Code section 1102, the existing rain storm
damage being a local emergency constitutes a sudden, unexpected occurrence which poses a
clear and imminent danger requiring immediate action to prevent or mitigate the loss or
impairment of life, health, property or essential public services; and
WHEREAS,pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 20168,this City Council, in the case
of a local emergency, is authorized to adopt, by a 4f5ths vote of its members, a resolution
declaring that the public interest and necessity demand the immediate expenditure of public
money to safeguard life, health or property without compliance with the provisions of Public
Contract Code Sections 20160 et seq. relating to contracts awarded by cities; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with Public Contract Code Section 220510,prior to adopting this
resolution, this City Council has made a finding based upon substantial evidence presented by
the City's Fire Chief and other City staff that the local emergency caused by recent rain storms
will not permit a delay that would result from a competitive solicitation of bids for infrastructure
and property damage work resulting from such storms;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Redlands as
follows:
Section 1. The City Council hereby authorizes the City Manager and the City's
Department Directors to take action to procure the necessary equipment, services and supplies
for the purpose of undertaking infrastructure and property damage repair without giving notice
for bids to let contracts.
Section 2. This City Council shall review the emergency action at its next regularly
scheduled meeting of January 4, 2011, and, except as provided for in Public Contract Code

terminated,to determine whether there is a need to continue the action.
Section 3. In accordance with Public Contract Code section 22050, the City Council shall
terminate the action at the earliest possible date that conditions warrant so that the remainder of
the emergency action may be completed by giving notice for bids to let contracts.
