Officials still don't know when rail service will return to normal.
"The emergency declaration gives the CEO authority to approve contracts more than $250,000," Orange County Supervisor Katrina Foley told City News Service.
The emergency declaration is a way to "expedite" the process of hiring a contractor to erect a wall where the hill is sliding to keep debris off the tracks, Foley said.The emergency declaration could then be folded into the county's emergency declaration to recoup FEMA funding from storm damage, Foley said.
"We had to do an emergency declaration because we don't have time to go through the bidding process and all that," Foley said, adding there is a sense of urgency to get the rail lines back up and running. San Clemente officials are meanwhile working to also stabilize the hillside above the track near Casa Romantica Culture Center and Gardens, which has also been affected by the sliding hill."As always, passenger safety will guide every action we take," Johnson said. "We understand how difficult this closure is for the people who rely on rail service through San Clemente and we will work hard to get service running again safely.
The first mudslide near Casa Romantica happened on April 27. Rail service was shut down, but resumed again on May 27, but another mudslide on June 5 compelled another closure.that I have read and agree
