CITY OF EDINA, MINNESOTA
MAYOR’S PROCLAMATION DECLARING
A LOCAL EMERGENCY AND NIGHTTIME CURFEW
WHEREAS, the Mayor of Edina finds the following factual situation exists:
1. The cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota, have experienced widespread civil
unrest since at least May 26, 2020.
2. Said civil unrest has included violent and destructive acts that have placed public
safety at risk and resulted in near catastrophic property damage.
3. The City of Edina geographically borders Minneapolis.
4. Law enforcement personnel and emergency first responders for the City of Edina
expect violent and destructive acts of civil unrest to continue and escalate without
invocation of certain portions of the City’s emergency management plan.
WHEREAS, the Mayor finds that the factual situation is sudden, unforeseen and could not have been
reasonably anticipated as it currently exists; and
WHEREAS, the Mayor finds that the factual situation threatens the health, safety and welfare of the
residents of and the property within the City of Edina; and
WHEREAS, the Mayor finds that conditions within the City of Edina have the potential to worsen
quickly and without notice due to the factual situation; and
WHEREAS, the Mayor finds that the traditional governmental processes are unable to appropriately
protect the safety and property of the general public.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Section 12.29, the Mayor
of Edina proclaims and declares a local emergency effective 6 p.m. on May 29, 2020. Under state law,
this declaration shall last no longer than three days unless extended by and through the consent of the
Edina City Council.
This declaration immediately invokes the establishment of a City-wide nighttime curfew, consistent with
Gov. Walz’s Executive Order 20-65, for all persons within the City of Edina from 8 p.m. through 6 a.m.,
effective 8 p.m. on May 29, 2020 and ending at 6 a.m. on May 31, 2020.
