San Clemente Declares a Coastal Emergency, Angel Stadium's Repair Bill Is in Limbo, and Gas Prices Hit a 29-Day Streak

San Clemente coastal emergency: The San Clemente City Council unanimously declared an emergency over high-tide damage to the coastline, tied to Labor Day weekend's Hurricane Marie swell. The city authorized emergency sand placement at North Beach and berms to protect vulnerable structures, with up to $1 million in funding, after the pier lost a pylon and 17 braces (estimated at $300,000 to repair) and flooding damaged private property. "We know there's an El Niño coming... I think we have an opportunity to do something in the short term," said Councilmember Victor Cabral. Laguna Beach and Dana Point declared similar emergencies the week before, and the National Weather Service is forecasting a 90% chance of a very active storm season this winter.

Angel Stadium repairs: With Angels owner Arte Moreno in the process of selling the team to Rams owner Stan Kroenke, questions are mounting over who pays for stadium repairs identified in an Anaheim-commissioned assessment that has yet to be released. The team's lease requires it to maintain the stadium at a "first class professional level," but an Angels spokesperson would not say who is responsible if ownership changes hands. State Senator Tom Umberg said he hopes "someone, other than the taxpayers, will be responsible for the upkeep," while Anaheim's spokesman called talk of the lease being reassigned "premature."

Gas prices: The region's gas-price streak stretched to a 29th consecutive day, with Los Angeles County's average hitting $6.089 a gallon — its highest since May 29 — after a single-day jump of 2.9 cents. Prices are up 44.4 cents from a month ago and $1.37 from a year ago; analysts attribute much of the run-up to the U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran, which alone has added roughly $1.40 to the average price since it began.
