FAQs for Colleyville Businesses

Clarification to Businesses Related to Mayor's Proclamation

The City of Colleyville has received multiple calls regarding the Mayor’s proclamation issued 4/20/20. City officials have been asked by local businesses how the proclamation relates to licenses and regulators’ conditions associated with specific business uses. The city’s proclamation was issued to clarify the implementation of our local disaster declaration.
In some cases, businesses have been told they cannot operate per authority and regulation outside the city’s purview. The city’s action did not release individual business owners from regulations and responsibilities mandated by other agencies unique to their business operation. Instead, we left the decision regarding running the business to the business owner.

We have carefully reviewed Gov. Abbott’s Executive Order (GA16) and believe the City’s Proclamation is aligned with the intent of that Order. We have been in contact with the Attorney General’s Office and expressed our desire to work with their office and the office of the Governor. We applaud the efforts of Governor Abbott and will continue to follow his lead as we work through these challenging times.
