Muncie City Council Special Meeting

The council convened a special meeting to discuss and act upon the adoption of Resolution 12-26, concerning the continuation and extension of a local disaster emergency proclamation previously issued by the mayor due to extreme rainfall and flooding. Legal counsel clarified that this action was required by state law to extend the declaration beyond the mayor's seven-day statutory authority. The resolution provides the necessary council consent to maintain the emergency declaration and empowers city officials to undertake essential measures for public safety, resource management, and coordination with emergency agencies. The resolution was adopted with an expiration date set for October 6th.
