Minnesota, including the City of Fridley (City), required an extraordinary response by the
City to protect the health and welfare of the Fridley community.

peacetime emergency throughout the State due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

confirmed and extended the duly declared local emergency, pursuant to Minnesota

5. On May 6, 2021, Governor Walz issued Executive Order No. 21-21 authorizing places of
employment and public accommodation to begin safely transitioning back to pre-
