Continue the finding, first made by the Board of Supervisors on January 13, 2026, that there is
substantial evidence that immediate action is needed to prevent or mitigate the threat to
property and public health posed by an unprecedented storm occurring on November 14
through November 16, 2025, that caused water damage to the roof and interior areas of
multiple buildings located at Calico Ghost Town Regional Park, including the structures known
as Lil’s Saloon, Dorsey’s Dog House, Calico Rock and Gift Shop, Calico Candle Shop, Print
Shop, Calico Coffee, Tea, and Pottery Shop, and Mystery Shack, which has resulted in
imminent risk of failure of the roofs, roof structures, and interior ceilings of historical buildings
and constitutes an emergency pursuant to Public Contract Code sections 22035 and 22050,
and that this emergency will not permit the delay resulting from a formal competitive solicitation
of bids to procure materials and construction services (Four votes required).

Continue the finding, first made by the Board of Supervisors on September 23, 2025, that there
is substantial evidence that immediate action is needed to prevent or mitigate the threat to
animal life, animal health, property and essential public services posed by the cessation of
contracted animal shelter services in the High Desert region effective September 1, 2025, after
the Town of Apple Valley voted to cancel the existing animal services contract, which resulted
in a reduction of essential shelter and animal care resources, and that this emergency will not
permit the delay resulting from a formal competitive solicitation of bids to procure materials and
construction services, and delegating authority originally by Resolution on September 23, 2025,
to the Chief Executive Officer to direct the Purchasing Agent to issue purchase orders and/or
contracts, in a total amount not to exceed $4,436,154, for any construction, remediation, and
modifications of internal and external structures related to the sudden and unexpected loss of
use of the Apple Valley Animal Shelter, and find that the issuance of these purchase orders
and/or contracts are necessary to respond to this emergency pursuant to Public Contract Code
sections 22035 and 22050 (Four votes required).
