Laurens County commission ends state of emergency declared for winter storm
Summary
The Laurens County Commission voted unanimously to end the state of emergency that had been declared during the recent ice and snow storm; the commission was advised the termination should be done by resolution and recorded a 5–0 tally in favor.
Laurens County commissioners voted to end the state of emergency that the county enacted during last week’s ice and snow storm.
At the regular meeting, the presiding official asked how the county should terminate the emergency ordinance. County staff advised that although the emergency had been enacted by emergency ordinance, the termination could be done by resolution. A motion to end the emergency was made and seconded; commissioners voted in favor, with the chair announcing the tally as 5–0.
Commissioners and staff discussed the procedural step of recording the termination as a resolution so the record reflects that the emergency authority is no longer in effect. No further details about the planned resolution number or the effective date beyond the meeting were provided in the transcript.
The termination was procedural: no additional policy directions, follow-up assignments, or new emergency powers were created as part of the vote.
