RES 1172 05/12/1998 RESOLUTION NO. 1172
Whereas,the City of Cibolo has not had any appreciable rainfall for an extended period; and
Whereas, forecasters offer little promise of relief in the near future; and
Whereas,the hot, dry conditions pose a threat of large, fast-moving wild fires; and
Whereas, such fires potentially endanger lives and 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 potential damage and the rapidity at which such a fire could escalate
to major proportions constitute an imminent 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 for protecting lives and property
by mitigating the likelihood of dangerous fires; and
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED,that this state of disaster is continued until it is
rescinded by the City Council of the City of Cibolo,Texas; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED,that the issue of this state of disaster shall be in force and effect
until rescinded by the City of Cibolo
PASSED AND APPROVED THIS I Z DAY OF at �) 1998.
