The Evansville Common Council on June 9 adopted Resolution C-2025-20, extending a joint local emergency proclamation for the City of Evansville and Vanderburgh County.

Lindsay Snyder of the mayor’s office told the council the extension continues a previous proclamation to allow staff more time to collect data. Snyder said she spoke with Cliff Weaver, who does not expect additional extensions. Snyder told the council the measure “is just an extension of the past” and that the extension would expire the following day.

The council moved, seconded and then adopted the resolution by roll call; the clerk recorded nine ayes and zero nays. There were no public comments and no substantive amendments during the discussion.

Resolution C-2025-20 is a short-term administrative extension; the council did not discuss new emergency powers or additional spending authority in the public record during the vote. The mayor’s office and county staff will continue data collection while the extension is in effect.
