Road  Closures  - Need  alternate  plan  to  traverse  people  through  here is  we  are  going  to
                accommodate  commuters.  If we  allow  traffic  to  go  through,  we  need to  make  sure  rescue
                vehicles are able to get through.  CHP,  City Mgr.  to regroup.

                Dennis Welch reported on closures--Magic Mtn.  bridge, McBean by Newhall Ranch Rd. to Magic
                Mtn.,  Wiley Canyon,  Lyons southbound closed,  lane  restrictions on  Bouquet,  almost gridlock on
               Sierra Hwy.  on  1/18 in  the a.m.

               Gasoline is limited due to station closures.  Long lines at gas stations.

               Discussion  on  the  bridge  to  be  taken  down  by  dynamite  near a  rail  line  and  would prevent  rail
               access.  Could cause  serious  problems.  Jeff Kolin  reported  500-600 people used Metroling  on
               1/18 for their means of transportation.  Metrolink added 10 cars to the trains with eight trains out.
               Metrolink will  accept script or passes  and  not charge  us for them.  Commuter buses  can  carry
               400 people a day to  Los Angeles.  Have not run  the commuter busses because of problems on
               Sierra Hwy.


               City Mgr.  suggested working with Magic Mountain to  arrange some kind of parking and  need to
               dialogue with the regional rail.  Buses also needed to go into San Fernando Valley.

               Shelters- Have three shelters 1  Newhall Boys & Girls Club 1  Saugus High School, and Canyon High
               School.  Saugus had 100 people,  Newhall 150,  'canyon 240,  150 Sierra Vista Jr.  High.  All three
               shelters  opened  tonight.  Getting  extra  space at Canyon.  No problems  except for water.  City
               rented andy gumps for shelters.  Crisis counseling has begun at the shelters for those in need.

               Power - Power is on.  Looking  at about 1400 people without power.  Lyons  and  south  have no
               power.  Transformers  blown.  Help  from  other cities  are  here  from  Edison.  If all  equipment
               needed is available, problem will be cleared up in afternoon.  Bulk power system on Rye Canyon
               needs  major  work  and  no  estimated  time  but  possibly  2-5  weeks.  Anything  City  can  do  to
               minimize  use  of power for air conditioners,  etc.,  would  be  helpful.  In  very  good  shape.  One
               major problem  is  trying  to  get large  equipment trucks into  the  City which  are  coming from  San
               Jacquin Valley, Antelope Valley,  etc.


               Need damage assessment figures as soon as possible.

               Gas - Restored  all  residents  in  Rainbow  Glen  area.  In  process  of getting  use  to  Val  Verde.
              Approx.  800-1200 residents need to be restored.  Will be working in the late evenings.  Outages
               are self-induced by people turning on their gas.  Approx.  1-3 days to be restored.  Lyons & Wiley
               finished  by  this  evening;  McBean  and  DelMonte - no  status;  Magic Mountain,  Gablehouse - no
               status.  1100  residents  out  at  mobilehomes.  People  have  to  get  everything back  into  the
               mobilehome and have mobilehome inspected before a tum on.

              Need damage assessment figures as soon as possible.

              City  Mgr.  suggested  fire  department work  with  gas  company  to  facilitate  tum  ans  and  work
              together to utilize the manpower.

              Hazmat - Fire dept.  has eight teams going through buildings that are  potential hazmat hazards.
              No new problems.
