Orr asked the City Council to extend his seven-day declaration to 30 days, which it did, during a Feb. 18 meeting. Orr noted the declaration allows the city access to additional state and federal funding in response to the winter storm. “The governor has declared a disaster, Burnet County has declared a disaster (on Feb. 14),” he said. “The last time we (declared a disaster) was the flood in 2018. We were able to recoup (75) percent of our expenses. Unless you declare this emergency, you don’t get any of it.”
