Ray Lake City declared in state of emergency Declaration approved unanimously ahead of Fay's local impact. By JEFF M. HARDISON [email protected] Published: Thursday, August 21, 2008 6:21 AM EDT Mayor Stephen Witt declared Wednesday evening at an emergency meeting that Lake City is in a state of emergency as a result of the potential impact on the city from Tropical Storm Fay. The Lake City City Council unanimously approved the resolution, which mirrors the Columbia County Board of County Commissioners' action on Monday. Both declarations are set to expire Aug. 25 - one week after the county made its declaration. City Attorney Herbert Darby said this declaration allows City Manager Scott Reynolds to make emergency purchases of services and supplies without having to tend to the normal bid process. Councilman Mike Lee made the motion to adopt the resolution and Councilman Eugene Jefferson seconded it. The emergency City Council meeting on Wednesday provided another opportunity for outgoing City Councilman John Robertson to vote.
