Thursday, Burton Mayor David Zajicek signed off on the renewal of the disaster declaration, which takes effect immediately and is set to expire at midnight on May 15^th. The declaration follows all guidelines and provisions established by Abbott’s order Monday.

The declaration was initially proclaimed on March 27^th, and was extended two previous times before Thursday’s extension. At the council’s meeting April 2^nd, Zajicek was given authority to renew the declaration when need be through the next 60 days, without the council having to meet.
