Gilbert Mayor Jenn Daniels issued a new declaration of emergency May 20 to continue allowing the town to take some actions while rescinding others from her March 16 declaration as the coronavirus pandemic hit town.
The measure calls for Town Manager Patrick Banger to provide for a phased reopening of the town that follows federal and state guidelines.
It also calls for Banger or his designee to waive some town code provisions to support businesses and residents and mitigate the financial impact upon the town.
The declaration also provides for the town to apply for financial relief that it qualifies for and to limit utility shutoffs to residents and businesses during the emergency while working out reasonable repayment plans.
New emergency declaration continues town's path for reopening
