## Resource

Salina’s city manager just got emergency powers to speed up storm cleanup after June’s 100+ mph winds tore through town — from parks to cemeteries to backyards. While some residents questioned why the city can’t handle tree removal itself or pursue cheaper long-term fixes, officials say this temporary authority is critical to keep roads clear and prevent future hazards. The move, limited to storm-related tree work until year’s end, aims to avoid delays — and every expense is being tracked for FEMA reimbursement, with leftover costs covered by the city’s contingency fund.
