The Mayor and Board of Aldermen met and voted to accept a proclamation declaring the existence of a local emergency in anticipation of the impending ice and snow storm expected to impact the area over the next several days.

This declaration allows the City to respond quickly by mobilizing resources, coordinating emergency operations, and taking necessary actions to protect public safety, maintain essential services, and address hazardous conditions. It also positions the City to seek assistance and support during recovery efforts once the storm has passed.

Residents are encouraged to monitor official City updates and take appropriate precautions as conditions develop.
