SUMMARY:

 

On June 30, 2020, the City Council adopted Emergency Ordinance No. 15-20 requiring the wearing of face covering while in public settings.  With the city and county boundaries being so intertwined to the point that it is difficult for a resident to know, at times, whether a business is located within the city or the county.

 

This resolution merely encourages the Board of County Commissioners to pass legislation setting the same standard that is in place within the city; requiring the wearing of face coverings in public settings.

 

PRIOR ACTION:                     

 

June 30, 2020 - City Council adopted Emergency Ordinance No. 15-20 requiring the wearing of face covering in public settings.
