Council told it will discuss disaster-emergency declaration after last week's storm
Summary
Community development and emergency management staff said they will ask council to consider declaring a disaster emergency related to last week's severe weather; staff said the declaration was discussed previously and may be closed out at the next meeting.
Community development and emergency management staff informed the council that the borough will need to discuss a declaration of disaster emergency following last week's severe weather.
"We will have to discuss the declaration of disaster emergency due to the severe weather we had last week," the community development/code enforcement/emergency management representative (John) told the council.
Manager'level staff later said that storm-related bills are being processed and that the emergency declaration from the prior snowstorm could be closed out at the next meeting, indicating the issue remains active but not finally resolved in the recorded excerpt.
The transcript does not record a formal vote on a declaration at this meeting; staff presented the matter as an item that will return to council for discussion and potential formal action.
