PROCLAMATION OF LOCAL DISASTER EMERGENCY

On March 17, 2020, I signed a Proclamation of Local Disaster Emergency for the City of Marengo.  City staff has been in contact twice a week with the Governor’s Office to receive up to date information on COVID-19 (coronavirus). Staff is also in communication with the McHenry County Health Department, McHenry County Emergency Management Agency, IDPH and CDC. We encourage all of our residents to follow federal and state guidelines on social distancing.  I want to assure the City of Marengo residents that there are no known cases of COVID-19 in our City.

The proclamation was put in place so our municipality is in a better position to access State and Federal Funds, should they be needed in relation to this public health crisis; allows for greater flexibility to assign and schedule labor; demonstrates to residents and businesses the serious nature of the present health concerns; and, assures them of strong collaborative efforts by City departments.

I encourage you to visit the City’s website and Facebook page to receive up to date information as it becomes available.

 

Updated March 16, 2020

Officials with the City of Marengo are closely monitoring the worldwide outbreak of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) and social distancing. To ensure the health and welfare of fellow residents and City employees, we have put the following in place effective immediately:

Water payments should be paid online, put in the dropbox or mailed to 132 E. Prairie Street.

All vehicle sticker sales and garage sale permits have been suspended until further notice.

We ask you to contact us over the phone at 815-568-7112 and avoid visiting City Hall especially for those who feel ill.

We apologize for the inconvenience.
