A sinkhole opened at Via Verdi Drive near El Portal Drive, creating an emergency situation. The city manager already declared a local emergency and wants the governor to declare a state emergency because local resources cannot handle the repair costs. Two contracts totaling $1 million would hire engineers and contractors to fix the sinkhole.
