St. Paul City Council extends mayoral local emergency for 90 days
Summary
The St. Paul City Council voted unanimously in a brief emergency meeting to extend Mayor Melvin Carter III's local emergency declaration for 90 days to continue coordinated response efforts with emergency management partners.
The St. Paul City Council on an emergency call extended Mayor Melvin Carter III's July 29, 2025, declaration of a local emergency for 90 days to continue coordinated response efforts with city, state and federal partners.
Council President Nacre called the emergency meeting to order and the council took a single action: approval of Resolution 205-1251, "Affirming and Extending the Declaration of a Local Emergency issued 07/29/2025 by Mayor Melvin Carter III." The resolution passed by roll call vote with five members voting in favor; two members were recorded as absent and excused.
The resolution directs continued support for the city's emergency response, naming the Departments of Emergency Management and OTC Communications along with local, state and federal partners to "continue to lead an effective and coordinated response," according to the motion presented at the meeting. The council did not add conditions or amendments during the meeting.
Roll call showed Council Members Jost, Hrabatsky, Yang, Bui and Vice President Kim voting to approve. Council Members Johnson and Nager were recorded as absent and excused. The clerk announced the resolution was adopted.
No additional public comment or follow-up items were listed on the agenda; the meeting lasted only long enough to carry the single vote and was then adjourned.
