1. Consider and act upon an ordinance declaring a local state of disaster due to a
public health emergency and enacting regulations related thereto, and all
matters incident and related thereto. (TW)
Terry Welch, Town Attorney, presented this item before council. The ordinance is
closely modeled after the Declaration of Disaster issued by Denton County and the
Executive Order issued by Governor Abbott, with some minor revisions. References
to "essential businesses" are from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's CISA
guidelines. Mr. Welch confirmed the requirements for church services. Funerals may
be conducted, as long as proper social distancing guidelines are observed.
After discussion, Mayor Pro-Tem Vogelsang made a motion and Councilmember Ray
seconded the motion to approve Ordinance No. 2020-26 declaring a local state of
disaster due to a public health emergency. The motion was approved by a vote of 7-
