Beaver County amends drought declaration, sets expiration date of Dec. 31, 2026
Summary
The commission adopted resolution 2026-07 amending a prior drought declaration to include an explicit end date of Dec. 31, 2026, aligning local practice with state limits on open-ended emergency declarations.
Beaver County commissioners voted May 5 to amend the county’s drought resolution to include a specific end date. The board discussed state restrictions that limit open-ended emergency declarations and agreed to adopt resolution 2026-07, which sets the expiration of the drought declaration to Dec. 31, 2026.
Commissioners noted that after COVID-era changes to state law, emergency declarations must specify end dates if they will extend beyond 30 days; the amendment to the earlier resolution was presented as a fix to add the end date without altering other provisions.
A commissioner moved to adopt resolution 2026-07; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
