Consider Approval of Declaration of a State of Emergency Due to COVID-19 Mayor Janway thanked the Council for attending the Special Council Meeting to consider making an Emergency Declaration as part of the city's COVID-19 response. He explained that the New Mexico Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management strongly recommends that local municipalities declare an emergency and submit that declaration to the State Emergency Operations Center within 30 days of the President’s declaration of a national emergency. He explained this declaration will have the practicle effect of allowing the city to make available existing emergency funds and will demonstrate the need for reimbursement within the Federal Public Assistance Program and Policy Guide. Mayor Janway said the city does not know exactly what is in the future with combatting corona virus but the city does know the impact will be huge and that the city will need to be prepared. Mayor Pro Tem Rodriguez said as we all know the city is in unprecedented times. He said at this time we know that we have todo everything possible to make sure all citizens are covered and that services are not interrupted.
