Alexandria extends emergency declaration
Council member Todd Jensen voted against the extension. He said that approving the measure sends the wrong message to local businesses that are struggling to survive. Written By: Al Edenloff | ×
Alexandria City Hall
For the ninth time since the pandemic began, the city extended its declaration of a local emergency because of the COVID-19.
The city first ratified Mayor Sara Carlson’s declaration on March 18 and extended it monthly for nine months. This latest action extends it through Jan. 31, 2021.
Council member Todd Jensen voted against the extension. He said that approving the measure sends the wrong message to local businesses that are struggling to survive.
