Beaver County declares drought emergency under Resolution 2026-05
Summary
Beaver County commissioners unanimously approved Resolution 2026-05 on April 7, 2026, declaring a state of emergency for the drought season and authorizing the chairman to sign the resolution.
Commissioner Wade Hollingshead called the Beaver County Commission to order on April 7, 2026, and the board moved quickly to adopt Resolution 2026-05, a formal declaration of a state of emergency for the drought season. The motion to authorize the chairman to sign the resolution was made by Commissioner Brandon Yardley and seconded by Commissioner Tammy Pearson; the vote was recorded as unanimous.
The action signals the county's formal acknowledgement of drought conditions and allows county officials to exercise any emergency authorities identified in county procedures. The minutes do not list specific operational steps tied to the declaration; commissioners approved the resolution itself during the meeting but no additional staff directives or emergency expenditures were specified in the record.
