RES 1134 08/09/1994 RESOLUTION NO. 1134
Whereas, the City of Cibolo has not had any appreciable rainfall for an
extended period; and
Whereas, weather forecasters offer little promise of change in these hot, dry
conditions in the near future; and
Whereas, these hot dry conditions pose a threat of large, fast-moving wild
fires; and
Whereas, such fires have the potential of endangering lives and damaging
property on a wide scale; and
Whereas, the Texas Disaster Act of 1975 authorizes declaration of a state of
disaster "if the threat of disaster is imminent"; and
Whereas, the magnitude of the potential damage and the rapidity at which such
a fire could escalate to major proportions constitute an imninent
threat of disaster; and
Whereas, declaration of such a disaster authorizes the imposition of controls
on activities which tend to increase the likelihood of such fires;
and
Whereas, such controls, once implemented, have the potential of protecting
lives and property by mitigating the threat of dangerous fires; and
Whereas, James E. Sagabiel , Guadalupe County Judge, on the 1st day of August,
1994, declared a state of disaster based on the threat of large wild fires
in Guadalupe County; and
NOW, THEREFORE, LET IT BE RESOLVED, that this state of disaster is hereby
continued until it is rescinded by the City Council of the City of Cibolo,
Texas; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the issue of the continuance of this state of
disaster shall be in force and effect until rescinded by the City Council of
the City of Cibolo. ,J
PASSED AND APPROVED THIS DAY OF 14 V C, y S' 1994.
