City Council extends local COVID-19 disaster declaration to May 26
The City Council voted to extend its local disaster declaration regarding COVID-19 to the next City Council meeting on May 26.

Having a disaster declaration allows city leadership to issue special regulations to protect the health and safety of Cleburne. It also allows the city to be eligible to apply for relief funding from the state and federal government. The Council first adopted the disaster declaration on March 13.

“I think we have a good game plan to remain ahead,” Mayor Scott Cain said.
