Official City Actions
- On March 16, Mayor Jason Gadd issued a local emergency declaration. This declaration invokes the City’s emergency operations/management plans and pandemic response plans related to the coronavirus outbreak. Fire Chief Dale Specken and City Manager Mike Mornson are leading this emergency effort, in coordination with the City’s senior staff. The Hopkins City Council will continue to receive briefings as necessary.
View Local Emergency Declaration (PDF) - On May 5, the Hopkins City Council reviewed and updated Chapter 7 of the City’s Legislative Policies Manual related to neighborhood meetings associated with certain zoning applications. The City Council revised this policy to allow City staff administrative discretion to deviate from requiring applicants to hold neighborhood meetings when unforeseen circumstances (such as the COVID-19 pandemic) could make holding such a meeting impractical or potentially unsafe for the public.
