City Manager, James Ruth. As a result of the earthquake on Monday, January 17,
1994 (Northridge Quake) and the apparent damages to Anaheim Stadium where the
Sony Jumbotron failed and fell into the stadium causing excessive damage, before
the Council are certain actions which will require Council approval in order to
proceed with the demolition and removal of that damage and taking other
corrective actions as necessary. Staff is respectfully requesting three actions
be taken:
184: (1) A resolution ratifying the proclamation of a local emergency by the
Director of Emergency Services of the City of Anaheim and approving and
authorizing certain remedial actions relating thereto.
President Clinton today designated Anaheim as one of the emergency areas in the
State in his visit to Southern California to view the damage. Anaheim applied
and the Council will be ratifying that action.
123: (2) The second action is to consider and approve a contract with the
Penhall Company for demolition services relating to Anaheim Stadium. Penhall is
a local company with extensive experience in demolition work and has an excellent
reputation.
152: (3) A resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter certain agreements
for and on behalf of the City for emergency services relating to the earthquake
occurring on January 17, 1994. This is for unforseen actions that the City will
be required to take relative to the inspection and repair of public facilities
owned by the City.
City Manager Ruth continued that a cap of $500,000 is being placed on these
demolition efforts. The estimate at present is $375,000 and, therefore, any
actions he would be taking would be within the $500,000 cap.
City Attorney, Jack White. With regard to the Penhall contract, the Council has
been provided with a form of that contract which is currently being reviewed by
the Penhall Company. It is possible Penhall may request some minor modifications
to the agreement. In the motion on the contract, he would request that the
Council authorize modifications to the agreement as presented which modifications
would be subject to the approval of the City Manager and the City Attorney.
