The City Council does resolve as follows
SECTION 1 The City Council finds and declares as follows

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
B 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
C On November 6, 2006, a breakage of an 8 -inch water pipeline occurred at
the intersection of Alaska Avenue and Hawaii street causing flooding,
extensive pavement damage and closure of Alaska Avenue and Hawaii
Street in the vicinity of the intersection

welfare, the City took immediate emergency action to repair the broken
water pipeline and street pavement in accordance with El Segundo
