SUMMARY STATEMENT:
AS 26.23.140 allows for the continuation of a local disaster declaration for a period of more than seven (7) days by the consent of the local governing authority.
Because of the ongoing nature of the emergency, the declaration of disaster dated March 17, 2020, shall remain in effect until June 3, 2020, or until the virus is no longer declared a federal or state emergency, whichever occurs first. The extension of the declaration also waves provisions of Chapter 2.80 - Procurement Policy until June 3, 2020, or until the virus is no longer declared a federal or state emergency, whichever occurs first.
