Winfield approved Resolution 1399 to establish a severe-weather preparedness sales-tax holiday in February 2026 covering generators, batteries, radios and other preparedness items.
The Winfield City Council on July 15 adopted Resolution 1399 establishing a severe-weather preparedness sales-tax holiday to occur in February 2026.
Council described the holiday as covering emergency-preparedness items such as generators, battery packs and chargers, weather radios, battery-powered lights and flashlights, tarpaulins and waterproof sheeting, ground anchors and tie-downs, duct tape, plywood, window protection materials, non-electric coolers and water storage containers, non-electric can openers, artificial ice/ice packs, first-aid kits, fire extinguishers, smoke and carbon-monoxide detectors and similar supplies.

The resolution was described in general terms at the meeting; the council did not provide an exhaustive product list or specific start and end dates beyond noting the holiday would be set in February 2026 and align with a weekend.
