Beaver City’s governing body voted to extend a local state of emergency tied to flooding and debris flows from the Cottonwood Fire, adopting Resolution R 7 20 20 26 by roll call.
The resolution extends the city’s emergency declaration, first issued June 24, 2026 and supplemented on or about July 20, 2026, through 11:59 p.m. Mountain Daylight Time on Sept. 30, 2026, unless terminated earlier. The measure cites Utah Code and authorizes city officials to continue damage assessment, emergency protective measures, mutual‑aid requests and recovery operations.
"R 7 20 20 26 is adopted, extending our declaration of emergency through September 30," the presiding official announced after the roll call vote.
The motion to approve the resolution was made by council member Skeena and seconded by council member Cox. The clerk called the roll; members recorded on the roll call included Hunter Holt (yes), Lance Cox (yes), Tyler Schema (yes), David Albrecht (yes) and Randy Hunter (yes). The presiding official said the council may terminate or further extend the emergency by lawful action.
The resolution affirms that federal and state laws remain controlling for actions taken during the emergency and that emergency procurements and any budget amendments must comply with Utah Code and city policy. It also directs the city recorder to file the resolution in official records and distribute copies to Beaver County and emergency partners.
Next steps: the extension takes effect immediately on adoption; the council retained authority to modify or end the emergency in subsequent meetings.
