ROADWAY EMBANKMENT ON TALBOT ROAD.
WHEREAS, based upon the presentation of staff and the information contained in the

circumstance beyond the control of the municipality that either: (a) presents a real immediate
danger to the proper performance of an essential function; or (b) will likely result in material loss
or damage to property, bodily injury or loss of life if immediate action is not taken, and
WHEREAS, the City Council has received the staff report of the Public Works Director
and staff describing the roadway embankment emergency brought about by a failing storm water
culvert; and
