Please continue the mask mandate for the city of McCall. With the number of tourists that visit our community, we are more vulnerable to the spread of COVID 19. It also takes the pressure
off of local businesses.
We live in Boise and McCall. Please maintain the mask requirement in McCall. It is so important for physical health, especially with so many visitors coming to McCall from all over.
It is also a lot easier and less stressful when you don't have to think about it: you just wear a mask! A city (and county) mask requirement supports residents, makes things so much
easier for business owners, employees, and customers who want to shop safely. Today marks 500,000 deaths from Covid-19 in the US-- the most by far of any country in the world. Let's
be smart, McCall! and do everything we can to keep our little community healthy and alive.
I support continuing the mask mandate in the city of McCall during the spring and summer months of 2021. Especially with the number of unknown visitors we receive, it is the best way
to remain open and safe. Thank you.
Please take a leadership role in protecting our community by imposing a mandatory mask mandate in McCall. Your original mask mandate for McCall was a difference maker. The vast majority
of people complied, confirming that most people want to abide by the laws of the land, regardless of the severity of the penalties for non-compliance. It is essential that local businesses
have the support of the City to avoid being isolated and singled out by disgruntled patrons. Wearing a mask does not prevent anyone from coming to and enjoying McCall. But it is a proven
effective protection for all of us who live here, as well as those visiting. Thank-you for considering this comment.
Please extend the mask mandate to prevent the spread of Covid. Vaccinations likely won’t be completed until mid summer for all Idahoans. Masking is one way to keep McCall safe..
Please continue the mask mandate in the city of McCall. The mask mandate protects everyone. I am concerned especially about the new Covid variants. Thank you for supporting the mandate
to date.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
I am in favor of the city of McCall continuing the mask mandate, at least until Memorial Day. Even though we have residents and visitors who refuse to wear them, there is no harm in
asking those who care about their health and the health of others to continue to wear them. By continuing the mask mandate, you are supporting those businesses who want to continue
to protect McCall citizens.
I am requesting that the City council supports and maintains a mask mandate until the CDC advises otherwise. We know that the Central Health Board is not using the support of science
with there new lifting of mask mandate.
I support the McCall Mask mandate as long as needed till safety from Covid 19 is assured for all .
Thank you
As a full time resident of the McCall community with two children in MDSD, I’m writing to ask City Council to enact a mask mandate in all indoor public spaces and also outdoor spaces
were 6ft social distancing is not possible.
Cases are dropping, but that’s no reason to let our guard down yet — we’re not out of the woods and those of us with children in school don’t want to risk a spike in cases to then see
our kids lose in-person education. The CDC is still strongly advising masking in all indoor spaces, and we will enter our busiest season of tourism likely without herd immunity and
with variants on the rise. With such an influx of people coming from all places, we need to protect the vulnerable populations and our workforce until everyone is able to get vaccinated.
There’s simply no good reason not to.
Thank you so much to City Council for your ongoing vigilance to protect our community.
Warmly,
Nish Weiseth
I ask the City Council to reinstate a mask mandate for the city, including businesses and public spaces. We are not out of the Covid woods yet, and I would be much more likely to continue
to visit local businesses if I knew they were taking the precautions that have worked well thus far. Thank you.
Please, keep the mask mandate in place to continue protecting everyone. We support it even if all Valley County residents are vaccinated for the virus . Soon the Boise Valley will be
here for the summer months . Let it be known it applies to ALL. Large signs with flashing lights upon entering McCall would be great!!
To councilors and other concerned parties:
I write to express my support for a mask mandate continuation in valley county, and especially McCall. We’ve come this far, let’s not let our guard down and generate another preventable
surge. I want this to end as soon as possible and I’m tired of wearing a mask just like everyone else, but if that’s the quickest way to normalcy, I’ll take that option every day. Please
use the words and science of so many experts to influence your decisions to help us stop this pandemic as soon as possible. Masking is effective and we shouldn’t give up until we know
we’ve won. With vaccinations starting to strengthen the population, masking is an exponential improvement to the cause. Let’s just tough it out for another short term to make sure we
get back to normal as soon as possible.
With appreciation and respect,

Please extend the mask mandate in McCall
I urge the City Council to keep the mask mandate in place for the city of McCall. Health experts tell us that we must continue wearing masks and social distancing when in public to defeat
the virus. We can't let our guard down now especially with the new variants and the huge influx of tourists expected this summer.
Mayor and Council - I urge you to extend the mask mandate for McCall. The relative control of the virus in McCall is a direct correlation to your mandate which began in July. That
was a difficult decision and it was the right one. Please extend this thinking and the mandate now. We are on the cusp of getting this under control and getting everyone’s smiles
back.
We will all have a better summer season with this extension now. Thank you.
Thank you for the protection you have afforded the residents of McCall during the COVID pandemic. Please continue to stand strong for the health of your community and constituents as
there is no good reason to let up now. Given the unknowns around the variants, the influx of visitors and the low rate of vaccination its too soon to let up.
We must maintain our mask mandate here in McCall and Valley county! The fact the CDH even considered and lifted the mask mandate is a blatant disregard for our community and human lives
in general. We still have one of the highest per capita covid numbers is the state and with so many tourists coming here to recreate, our town is at a much higher risk than many other
places.
We are so close to being able to safely lift the mandate but with the new variant in the rise and covid still very much spreading through the community and country, we need to keep our
workers and residents safe. Until we can get much of the community vaccinated, it’s not worth the risk to those of us trying to stay healthy and protect our families.
Please do not life the mask mandate here in Valley county! It puts us private/small business owners in a horrible position of confrontation with people not wanting to wear masks in
our businesses, even though we are and do require them inside.
Our busiest season is still to come and lifting the mask mandate opens us up to higher numbers and potential deaths!
I think it is very important to maintain the mask mandate even though I have had both my vaccinations. The virus is a community problem and not an individual problem so it is the responsibility
of all of us to protect each other until we can all be vaccinated. Since this simple act of wearing a mask seems to be controversial, a mandate makes it much easier for businesses
to require a mask without pushback on a daily basis. Please follow the science and lead to protect the people of our great city.
I would appreciate the mask mandate stay in effect. Many of the people currently visiting stores and buisnesses are from out-of-town/state. They could be continuing the spread and concern
to the local population of McCall. We need to continue wearing masks as a safety concern to our town!
Please extend the mask order. We can't let up now.
Please keep the mask mandate for our precious city. We are not yet in the place where we can stop being diligent. Our #s have finally gone down, let’s keep it that way. I am a healthcare
worker at st Luke’s, and we are so tired, short staffed, and beginning to see the light at the end of this long tunnel. Let’s get more people vaccinated before we drop the mask mandate,
please.
Please keep the mask mandate! Keep our community safe!
Keep mask mandate in place, period. your freedom includes the responsibility to protect others, not selfish entitlement.
To McCall City Council:
Lifting the mask mandate in our county right now is reckless. During the winter season, we are facing the greatest threat from COVID-19 as groups convene indoors. President Biden's appointee
for the CDC has publicly spoken about how this is not the time to lift mask mandates due to the large number of daily cases and deaths nationwide. McCall is not immune to these statistics.
As a bustling resort town, we are all at a higher risk of exposure. Lifting the mask mandate will increase the odds of becoming infected exponentially.
Only a small proportion of our county is vaccinated as new variants of the virus are being transmitted. As case rates continue to grow nationwide, the vaccine roll out has been slowed.
With more vaccinations on the way as we work through the roll out, we are too close to safely ending this pandemic to throw it all away now. This is not the time to let fatigue and
preferences guide our actions.
Nobody is excited about wearing a mask, but we are becoming more accustomed to masks. If it's decided that we should lift the mandate, many people will discontinue this public health
and safety practice, which undoubtedly increase case rates in Valley County.
Repealing the mask mandate puts the burden of handling a global health crisis on local officials, medical professionals, and public health departments. These people are already overburdened
and often under attack for doing their jobs. Please consider the health and safety of our most vulnerable citizens when you make your decisions. Please don't prolong this pandemic by
lifting a simple and effective public health and safety measure.
Sincerely,
Margeaux Zwang

Please uphold the Mask Mandate.

Please do not lift the mask mandate for the City of McCall. I believe that would be a poor choice at this time. Even though case numbers and deaths are dropping, they have not been doing
so for very long. Our town continues to be busy, even mid-week, with out of town visitors which increases our risk of exposure. We need to protect our neighbors, our businesses, and
our schools. Even though vaccines are available, they have been slow to reach our area, and are not easily accessible to all that are eligible. Please keep our mask mandate in place
at this time.
Please keep the mask mandate in place! Covid is still a serious threat in our community and we must remain vigilant.
Please do not lift your current mask mandate - at least until May. McCall has mostly been a beacon of consideration while surrounding towns flaunted the mandates. Though we live in
Meadows Valley, we have chosen to go to McCall whenever we have needed something because of the attitude and compliance shown there during the pandemic. Let's support our President's
wish to mask up for 100 days!
For the sake of the health and well-being of our community, please continue with a citywide Mask Mandate. We have visitors from everywhere coming here & with the new variants the danger
of illness & even death is real. Thank you.
I have a parent over 65 who still has not received a vaccine, I am in my 40’s and am not sure realistically I am able to receive mine and I have a 10 year old who may be impacted on
a larger scale with the new variant , it is too soon to be lifting mandates when we already have gone so long practicing safety when even with mask mandates. Our numbers are high for
our small community and with many more people coming here from other communities it is time to double down until we are at a higher percentage of vaccinations. I also work in a space
that people from other communities come into and it sometimes can already be a struggle to ask to put a mask on, my thin veil of some protection from exposure. Please reconsider, we
are not out of the woods!
I want the mask mandate to continue as we are a resort town and have a a enormous amount of out of town people here to ski and snowmobilers here. We are still in the top 4 areas that
have high infection rate rate. Masks are important to stop the spread!
Please continue the mask mandate to protect our citizens from covid. Thank you.
Please require masks in McCall to protect us from those coming in without respect for our susceptible community. We are going to need masks fir a long time to come according to virologists
and immunology experts. Watch PBS NewsHour any night to find out although numbers are down, the peck is going to happen in the next few months with a whole raft of new infections and
problems. First So African Covid carrier now in ID. Why give up on the main protection we all have?
We aren’t out of the woods yet. Please continue the Mask Mandate in the City of McCall.
Please retain the mask mandate. We are still not over the hump -- variants on the increase. Let's continue until we are at a higher percentage vaccination rate.
I am writing to encourage you to continue the mask mandate for the city of McCall. It benefits and safeguards everyone.
Thank you for keeping our community healthy and safe by being proactive with a mask requirement.
Please keep the COVID mandates in place. We are close to having people vaccinated and numbers are going down so why not wait awhile until more are vaccinated and keep the trend in cases
down.
Please maintain the mask mandate in Valley County. Wearing masks has been proven to be effective. Repealing the mask mandate puts maintaining the public safety during a global health
crisis squarely on our vulnerable local community, medical facilities, and public health departments. Please consider the health and safety of our citizens when you make your decision.
Don't prolong this pandemic by lifting a simple and effective public health and safety measure.
I feel strongly that we should continue our public mask mandate. The last thing we should do at this moment is let our guard down. Keep our community safe as we enter Spring Break season.
Thank you.
To ensure that Valley County continues the slowdown of COViD spread, please continue the mandate to wear masks. There are not enough people who have received COViD vaccinations at this
time for us to let our guard down risking a rise in the virus, especially as new strains make their presence. Until we reach a higher percentage of vaccinated residents, it is in our
community’s best interest to remain diligent in preventing an increase in COViD spread by continuing to wear masks. Given our area has many people who visit from out of our county to
recreate or have second homes here, let’s be smart by continuing to promote safety for all by masking up for awhile longer so we can safely open up this summer.
I would like to see the city maintain a mask mandate. We have all worked very hard for the last 9 months to help prevent the spread of Covid in our town. Now with new, more infectious
variants spreading through the country and vaccinations still in the early stages of rollout, is not the time to relax our procedures. A few more months should have the majority of
our citizens vaccinated. To drop our guard now could have adverse effects on our citizens and businesses for the summer months. Thanks for your consideration.
CHD's recent decision to eliminate the mask mandate was premature. Boise has maintained its mask mandate and I am asking that McCall do the same. While progress is being made with
covid containment, continued diligence is necessary. The tourist/resort atmosphere of McCall makes it so important to maintain the mask mandate. It shard to contain covid, and now
new variants are popping up all over. The data show that covid cases increased in Valley County when the tourist season was in full swing last year and there is no reason to think
it will be less so this year. Please protect the citizens of Valley County by maintaining a mask mandate. Wearing a mask is a small price to pay for protecting your neighbor!
Please extend the mask mandate. We are on the tail end of this pandemic and with vaccines not being available to the general public until summer we need a mask mandate in place to not
overwhelm our tiny hospital. Thank you
To whom it may concern:
Lifting the mask mandate in our county right now is silly. During the winter season, we are facing the greatest threat from COVID-19 as groups convene indoors. Only a small proportion
of our county is vaccinated as new variants of the virus are being transmitted. With more vaccinations on the way as we work through the roll out, we are too close to safely ending
this pandemic to throw it all away now. This is not the time to let fatigue and preferences guide our actions. Following the CDH's decision is short sighted. They made their decision
based on political pressure rather then following science.
Wearing a mask is a simple task and should be continued to help protect others in our community. McCall is as busy as it has every been. With the influx of visitors and our limited
number of vaccinated citizens, it is not fair to further put them at risk. Once the mask mandate is only a recommendation, many people will discontinue this public health and safety
practice, which undoubtedly increase case rates in Valley County.
Repealing the mask mandate puts the burden of handling a global health crisis on local officials, public health departments as well as local business owners. Those people are already
overburdened and often under attack for doing their jobs. Please consider the health and safety of our most vulnerable citizens when you make your decisions.
Thank you,
Nathan Todd
I encourage the McCall City Council to continue to follow CDC and Central District Health guidelines including the wearing of masks and social distancing. As a tourists community, McCall
has people coming to it from a variety of areas. We cannot control their actions outside of McCall. Think of the impact of Covid on Sun Valley in the early days of the pandemic.
We don't want that to occur in McCall.
As an educator who has taught in person (hybrid) all year with complete masking, I have seen first hand the impact this has on the safety, health, and mental well being of our school
community. With McCall seeing the biggest surge in tourism due to people escaping to the mountains because of Covid, let's follow Boise's example and keep the mask mandate in place!!
We are not over this yet. Please protect our community members. Thank you.
Masks should be worn in the same manner as previous as it is a medical device to prevent illness, not a political issue. The mandate needs to stay in place until infection rates decrease
more and immunization rates go up. Think of the poor service providers who can’t get shots yet!
Please, please, please, keep a mask mandate in Valley County. I am a nurse at the hospital and see patients first hand with COVID. I see that numbers are going down at this time and
that Central District Health has lifted the mask mandate for their district (which makes me extremely nervous) but we have these variants strains now here in Idaho and surrounding states
where they have shown to be more contagious. Yes we have a vaccine but the roll out to get people vaccinated has been slow. It would also be ignorant if we thought everyone would do
the right thing and get vaccinated. Sadly I know nurses and other medical people who are resistant to getting vaccinated which blows my mind. Masks are the cheapest and easiest thing
to help reduce the spread of COVID. We need a mask order because that helps our valued businesses to continue to ask patrons to wear masks. I don’t expect the police to regulate this,
they have more important things to do unless someone is being blatantly unsafe to others. The first afternoon that the CDH lifted the mask mandate I was in the Umpqua Bank atm with
my kids (we were all masked), and a women came into the small enclosed area without a mask. I asked her to step outside briefly since she didn’t have a mask and she told me she no longer
had to. I then asked that she do it as a courtesy and she ignored me. We will have more interactions/conflict like this along with businesses feeling helpless if we don’t have a mask
order. The people who don’t want to wear masks don’t care about the CDC recommendations. It is also confusing to people to have these recommendations and to have our health district
not state that they are required. Please let’s protect our community and keep cases down. I would like to reopen our schools full time and not us loosen our restrictions about wearing
masks and possibly extend this pandemic.

I am writing to voice my support for a continued mask mandate. We are finally starting to turn the corner from the spikes in COVID cases after the holidays and now is not the time to
let up with our mitigation efforts. But more than that, please step-up to support small business owners in McCall. I have seen that quite a few local businesses are going to continue
asking people to wear masks and having a City mandate behind them will make their goal of keeping our community safe will be so much easier. And let's show the rest of the state and
the country that McCall welcomes visitors as long as they are respectful to our community and wear masks when they are here. Thank you!
I ask you to keep the mask mandate active in the City of McCall, at least going through the summer months. We’re seeing more visitors to our city than ever. I would rather not see another
spike in Covid cases.
Thank you
Please keep the mask mandate in Valley County until we have killed this Covid 19 virus! It is working!!!!!
Please maintain the mask mandate!
PLEASE keep the mask mandate in McCall until the Covid vaccine is available to everyone.
Please keep the mask mandate in McCall at least until the Covid vaccine is available to all age groups.
Please continue the mask mandate for McCall. This country is not even close to being out of this pandemic, and we are too close to a positive outcome to see a big setback in our community.
We are inundated with visitors from other areas who largely seem to feel like they are on "COVID vacation" when they come here. They need rules or they will not choose to help protect
our small community. Without a mask mandate it puts incredible pressure on small business owners and on the school system to enact their own rules and sets them up for incredible negativity
from the community. They need the support of the City behind them. Thanks.
Please keep our city mask mandate in place a bit longer. It is too soon to lift the mandate in our small town with tourists still visiting for winter recreation from out of state.
Please continue the mask mandate in the city of McCall.
I hope that you will continue the public mask mandate for the City of McCall. With the new Covid-19 variants reaching and spreading in the United States I do not feel that this is the
time to risk another surge. With our incredible snow this month, people are continuing to flock into town and I feel there is an obligation to protect our workers and our health care
system.
I am writing to request that you support a continued mask mandate in the City of McCall.
Because we live in a resort community, our population swells with people, and with more frequency lately. This makes it difficult to social distance. It also brings people to town
with many differing opinions about whether to wear a mask. And, it is so much more difficult for a business to enforce a mask mandate if they are going it alone, without a City mandate
to fall back on. My husband works for May Hardware, and I am so thankful they all wear masks, and require customers to do the same. He and the rest of the crew there have managed
to stay healthy, and help keep our community healthy. They have some customers who object to wearing masks, but it is so much easier for them to be able to say that the use of masks
is mandated. The isle ways there are narrow, and a lot of people travel through that store. Likewise with grocery stores.
McCall is more vulnerable than most communities in the summer. People are coming here!! Remember last summer? That means more people frequenting the businesses, restaurants and shops.
Also of concern are the new Covid-19 variants.
It is good news the vaccine rollout has started but the timing of vaccine roll out and variants arriving on the scene are difficult. I am guessing that I will not be eligible for the
vaccine until late May at best. And, there are many others who will be behind me. I very much support wearing masks and socially distancing in the City despite vaccination, as many
won’t be vaccinated until late summer. We are not in the clear yet.
Thank you all so much for supporting this mandate to date. Please continue to support it for the health and well being of our community.
Please reinstate the mask mandate for the City of McCall.
Though I have had both my Covid Shots, I feel it is important to continue to wear my mask to protect myself and those around me. The slight inconvenience of wearing the mask far outweighs
protecting individual health and my pride.
Please be advised that I support continuing the mask mandate at least through the summer months with review in the fall with an eye towards modification of the mandate.
Thanks
Shawn Miller
City of McCall, please update the local mask ordinances. We are still seeing cases of covid daily and have an influx of out of towers coming and going. A mask mandate needs to be implemented
and enforced immediately. Until there are consequences for people ignoring the mandates a large portion of locals and almost all visitors will continue to spread this deadly pandemic.
Please continue the mask mandate in the city. As a health care worker we can’t afford to let our guard down yet. There are too many questions unanswered with the new variants and wearing
a mask is proven to decrease transmission. Wearing a mask is not hard. I have worn a mask at work for 30 years, hours on end, so it’s hard to swallow some of the excuses out there for
not wearing one. Partisan politics should not be a consideration.
Let’s extend into the summer or at least earlier if herd immunity is reached.
Thank you.
Chris Sours CRNA
I am happy to see the number of Covid-19 cases dropping in Valley County and I would like this to continue. Please help keep our community safe and mandate face masks in McCall. Thank
you.
Yes, Please keep the mandate in place. We're not there yet
Please continue the mask mandate. We need to do all we can to keep our neighbors and visitors safe.
Dear Council Members, We write to encourage you to continue our local public mask mandate. While state wide infection rates are dropping, the pandemic isn't over and with new, more contagious
variants appearing all the time (and now confirmed to be in Idaho), this is no time to let down our guard. Living in a resort town, with visitors from all over the state and country,
we are particularly vulnerable to these new variants. A local ordinance also benefits business owners, as all businesses are put on an equal footing: owners who want to better protect
their employees and customers by requiring masks are spared being unfairly labeled the "bad guys", as some anti-science, anti-medical advice types would like to argue. Let's prevent
needless arguing over something all health care professionals agree upon and recommend: wear a mask to protect yourself and others! It's the least we can do as good neighbors to each
other? Sincerely,
Even with some people vaccinated we all must wear masks around others. It is only common courtesy to protect our neighbors in any way we can. It is a tiny inconvenience to save a life.
Face masks and social distancing should be required in all public places in McCall.
Please keep a mask mandate for McCall for the safety of all those who live, work and/or recreate here. We must not be so short-sited as to let down our safety precautions now in light
of the much more highly contagious variants of Covid-19, just as we are beginning to see numbers decline due to mask-wearing, physical-distancing and the effects of some of our population
becoming inoculated. Thank you for doing the right thing for our city.
Please keep mask mandate in force in order to keep our workers safe from C-19 and also to keep them from being harassed by belligerent costumers. We need to keep mandate in force until
our general population has had the opportunity to be vaccinated. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Maggie and Jim Crawford
Please continue to mandate face masks in McCall - in public and places of business. Though annoying, it is a small thing and apparently makes a significant difference. I refuse to
do business with places where this simple rule is not honored or enforced, since it shows that they do not care much about my health. My "freedom" won't mean much to me when I am dead
or losing loved ones.
Why would the city consider removing the mask mandate now that we are making progress on slowing the impact of this viruses. Although we are not residents of McCall, we do the bulk
of our shopping (year round) and medical services in McCall.
Please continue the mask mandate. The vaccine roll-out really is still in the beginning stages and keeping the norm of masking and social distancing is crucial. A mandate makes that
all so much simpler, particularly with visitors from outside of town.
For the safety of the citizens and visitors to McCall please mandate that people wear masks in McCall. I feel it is particularly important that they be worn in the stores and shops.
I encourage the city to retain the mask mandate. New variants of the virus, which are much more contagious, have been found in and around the Boise area. The city of McCall is a playground
for the folks down there. I believe that mandating mask usage is a clear message for those that come here to enjoy what this town has to offer and will help reduce the spread of The
Corona virus.
I am writing to urge the City to maintain a COVID-19 mask mandate at least through Labor Day, 2021. Unlike certain deranged State legislator's claims that the pandemic is over, I beg
to differ. I happen to be one of those unlucky not-quite-old-enough old guys that is at the back of the vaccine bus. Moreover as the UK, South African, and Brazilian variants begin
to take hold in our extremely virus-porous American society, the situation may be a bit more touch and go than many realize. The mask mandate has so far mitigated the higher infection
risks we are subject to simply by virtue of our destination resort status. The apparent ignorance of biology on the part of a good portion of the population concerns me greatly. Stay
the course, keep the mask mandate! - John Rygh
I am writing in support of maintaining a face covering mandate in the city of McCall. The new, more contagious variants have now been found in the Boise area, it is not the time to
roll back this simple and effective preventative measure to protect and keep our community healthy. Our beautiful resort town is playground to many and by retaining a mask mandate
for our businesses we demonstrate that we are serious about our health and respectful of our locals and visitors.
I am requesting that the McCall City Council keep a mask mandate in place even though Valley County has lifted the mandate. Masks keep us all safe and a resort town is at higher risk
than other communities.
I encourage the city council to continue the mask mandate endorsement for the city of McCall. Visitors and locals should be mandated to wear a mask in all public places where distancing
is not an option and whereby others are put at risk by non-mask wearers. COVID cases may be declining, but this is not the time to let our guard down. Considering the variants, the
number of deaths in the nation, the fact that Valley County is considered a red zone, it would be negligent to do anything but continue a mask mandate. Please seek and follow the opinions
of
doctors and scientists rather than the political appointees of the Central District Health Board.
We still have a long way to go to be a community safe from Covid-19. Maintain a mask mandate. It is the only responsible action that can benefit our community. We don’t have to get on
the idiot bus.
I urge you to enact a mask mandate following CDH's recent abolishment of the mandate for Valley County. Although numbers of cases, hospitalizations and deaths do decline, our numbers
are quite high. The NYTimes lists Valley County at a "high risk level" and that is even underestimated when you consider the number of non-resident cases we have seen that are not
included in the count. Visitors continue to come; they continue to enter our stores unmasked. Please do all you can to protect those who live here. As I heard on St Lukes Virtual
Town Hall, "wearing a mask protects our economy".
How crazy is this: Central district health board (composed largely of politicians, not scientists or medical professionals) lifts the mask mandate for Valley County (which discourages
practices proven to reduce the spread of covid), but then encourages people to follow those same practices. In one and the same order they have both discouraged and encouraged the
exact same behaviors. If they are to be encouraged, then they should not be discouraged by the lifting of the mandate. Please show some sense. I strongly urge the McCall City Council
to reinstate a mask and social distancing mandate. This is not the time to let our guard down, with the more aggressive variants out there. We are close to the light at the end of
the tunnel so let's not blow it now. Really, how hard is it anyway. Please be smarter than CDH and mandate masks and social distancing for at least another 2 months. Then re evaluate.
thank you.
Here in McCall we all live in a resort community, and accordingly I support the continuation of the mask mandate as we move into spring and summer.
As you know, the mask mandate protects everyone. Businesses are keeping customers (and keeping open!) and keeping employees healthy, which results in families being safer and the hospital
avoiding crisis mode.
McCall is more vulnerable than most communities. People are coming here from everywhere. I have never seen so many out-of-state license plates!! Remember last summer, and it is the same
this winter? That means more people frequenting the businesses, restaurants and shops, more people who we don't know and who are not from McCall.
It is good news that the vaccine rollout has started, but the timing of the vaccine roll out is very slow, at best. And variants most likely arriving on the scene would most likely
be via the out-of-state visitors, which could be very tricky for our community.
We must continue to wear masks and socially distance in the City despite vaccination - especially since most of us won’t likely be vaccinated until late summer.
I would like to thank the City Council members for supporting the mask mandate to date. Most businesses in McCall support the mandate, and they feel your support for them.

Please maintain the city-wide mask mandate. CDC reports 27.2-50 people per 100,000 in Idaho have been infected in the last 7 days. A very low percentage of people within the city have
been vaccinated and won't be until later in the year. Please extend the current mask mandate until at least August. Less than 40% of people over 65 years have been vaccinated with one
dose. Please show patience while more people have an opportunity to protect themselves during the next 6 months. Residents under 65 are not eligible until May at the earliest to have
a chance to get a shot. Please remain vigilant and protect McCall residents. Thank you.
PLEASE PRESERVE THE MASK MANDATE!!!
For the health and welfare of all McCall, Valley County and visitors to this areas, many of whom may come from areas not requiring face masks, please keep the face mask initiative in
force—it’s proven face masks do reduce the risk of contracting as well as passing on the COVID virus. As we get closer to herd immunity the mask mandate could be revisited. Thank you,
Please maintain the mask mandate here in Valley County !! Our City is so precious - don't be influenced by other places who don't have the same Community Feelings ..
PLEASE continue to live up to your standards of respect for our Citizens ..
Because people can't be trusted to do it on their own and businesses do not need the stress of having difficult conversations with possibly aggravated guests, please extend the mask
ordinance for the next couple of months. We are so close to the finish line - it would suck to blow it now.
Please continue to require masks in McCall. It is too soon to change directions. Most people are aware of the masks benefits and are used to wearing them now.
Think about all those in your area or who will visit that could be affected badly by covid. Please keep the mask mandate, please do this. I want my child who is a heart warrior to
be able to be safe at school and in town!
McCall should continue the mask mandate. Covid 19 and variants are still a threat to our community, especially when you consider visitors outnumber the residents and come from states
with worse infection rates. The numbers are exact; when we were in lockdown, we experienced few Covid 19 cases; when visitors flooded into the community, cases surged.
McCall City Council Needs to Reinstate a Mask Mandate
The US reached a tragic milestone yesterday: 500,000 deaths from Covid. Even though the numbers of cases and deaths are dropping dramatically in the US, Idaho, and Valley County,
this is not the time to rescind mask mandates and other Covid prevention measures. The South African and UK Covid variants have already been detected in Idaho. They spread more rapidly,
may cause more severe illness, and may contribute to another spike in cases and deaths.
While Central District Health removed the health orders for Ada and Valley Counties, the City of Boise wisely reinstated their health orders, including a mask mandate, and McCall needs
to follow Boise’s example. Mask mandates do not have adverse economic impacts and increase mask usage by store employees and customers in public business. In addition, they increase
mask usage in schools and other public places.
We strongly recommend that the McCall City Council immediately pass a mask mandate that continues until the beginning of the summer and then reassess the situation based on the number
of cases in Valley County and Idaho and how many people have been vaccinated.
I strongly support the continues mandate for masks in McCall.
Please continue requiring a mask mandate in mccall. It will keep us saf
Please extend the mask mandate in McCall. It is a critical time to maintain maximum safety until most Americans have received the vaccine. We must remain vigilant because of the new
Covid variants. It would be such a shame to become lax when our biggest tourist season is beginning. Please continue to protect the McCall locals by extending the mask mandate.
Please continue the Mask Mandate for the health of everyone.
Thank you
Please consider the health of our population and keep the mask mandate!
Mccall should re-implement a mask mandate, both indoors and out in public areas. Masks have proven to be effective both to lessen the incidence of infection and decrease spread of virus.
Please lean on science/data/facts and what the medical community continues to recommend regarding the mask mandate. There is no evidence in support of removing the mandate. Now is not
the time to make any changes, with new and more aggressive strains now emerging, and the majority of citizens not vaccinated yet. In addition, our community continues to see a surge
in population/guests/visitors traveling here from all over the country.
We see what happens when a mask is simply recommended. Individual choice and decisions about behavior is why we are exactly where we are close to one year later.
Consider our local small business owners and employees, and their need for the consistent backing of the city administration here. Please help in our collective efforts to keep as many
community members safe, healthy, and alive as possible. Thank you for your thoughtful consideration of this reality.
I am writing to ask you to please reinstate the mask mandate for the City of McCall. Until such time as a significantly larger percentage of the population is vaccinated, we must do
everything we can to reduce the opportunities for the virus to spread. Not only is McCall a tourist attraction, but it is the commerce/shopping center for the region from Riggins to
Council to Donnelly and beyond. There are many workers who also commute into/out of McCall. Because of this, there are not only increased opportunities for the virus to be brought into
the community, but also for it to be spread out of the community to the surrounding areas. Yes, individual businesses can implement their own mandates, but having a community wide mandate
takes some of the pressure off those businesses, and shows city support for the health and welfare of not only the local citizens, but the visitors alike. Realistically, having a mandate
will keep more businesses open in the long run because infection rates will be kept lower.
Thank you for your consideration of the health and safety of the broad community.

The 13% increase on the golf fees would appear to be excessive. This increase in cost will have a negative effect on both local golfers and elderly golfers that live on fixed incomes.
Do not price out the local people and the elderly. The McCall Muni Course is a true gem. It should not be reserved for the more wealthy out of town visitors.
In order to continue to keep the residents of Valley county safe please continue to enforce the mask mandate. Help schools and businesses from having to deal with irrational people
who will take every opportunity to make this about them and their liberties once the county lifts the ban. Not wanting to abide by that place of businesses or schools rules regarding
masks, it will cause undue stress and headaches for those who just want to keep Valley county moving in the right direction. We haven’t even made it to green yet, seems pretty preemptive
to roll back precautions at this point.
Please extend mask mandate until we have higher rates of completed vaccinations. With so many out of towners here, we the permanent residents become prisoners in our own homes if people
aren't required to wear masks. We need to be able to shop and get our services. We live here, we have no place else to go.
Please keep the mask mandate. We have SO MANY out of county out of state people coming through everyday
Our community desperately needs to keep our mask mandate intact for the health and safety of locals as well as tourists, not to mention the operation of our many local businesses is
put at risk if the mask mandate is lifted. Our economy relies on tourism and to ensure everyone’s safety masks are absolutely necessary. Especially with the cold, snowy weather over
the next month or two when people will be congregating indoors. It’s been hard enough for our local businesses to enforce masks within their spaces, if we lift the mandate now it could
be detrimental to those businesses and business owners who are trying to keep their employees and patrons safe and healthy.
Members of the McCall City Council,
Please continue to mandate that masks be required in public places in McCall. We're potentially near the home stretch in this health crisis, but we're not there yet. If we don't stay
the course until a substantial part of the population is vaccinated and warm weather allows for easier social distancing, we could face setbacks, especially in light of new coronavirus
variants now detected in Idaho.
Thankyou.
I'm writing to support the continuation of McCall's mask mandate, to keep residents and our community safe, and to support local businesses that require patrons to wear masks. With the
emergence of new, more virulent Covid-19 variants, now is not the time to let down our collective guard. Until a majority of people receive vaccinations, the sensible thing to do is
to continue encouraging masks in indoor public spaces and outside when social distancing isn't possible, a simple and effective means of hindering transmission of the novel coronavirus.
Thank you.
I am writing to urge you to extend the mask mandate into Spring and Summer. With influx of even more tourists and the increasing presence of new virus variants, protecting our populace
becomes even more challenging. Please don't allow us to lose the progress we've made.
Please, please, please keep the mask mandate until at least summer. Sometimes, it is the only way I can get people to wear a mask without a conflict in my business. Since the county
stopped theirs, I have had to have way too many conversations about this AGAIN. We are all tired of wearing masks but until our numbers are down and most people are vaccinated... I
would appreciate the support of the City to keep the Mask Mandate. Thank you-Kilmeny
I would like to encourage the City Council to maintain our mask mandate for the city of McCall. Even with vaccination rates improving, masks provide our best defense against the virus.
Masks will help keep our businesses open and our economy strong. Masks keep kids in school. Please continue our mask mandate.
Respectfully,
Sandy Christensen
I would like to thank to City Council members for supporting the mask mandate to date and in the future. The mask order protects my family, my business and visitors alike. Let’s keep
the masks on and the infection rate low
Please continue to support the use of face masks, physicaldistancing. This is not a political issue it is a public health issue. Unfortunately, many people have turned this around. Our
committee needs a public mandate to encourage people to do the right thing as many have made it obvious they will not without the mandate in place. Thank you.
Please maintain a mask mandate in McCall. We do all of our shopping in McCall and also support restaurants through takeout. We will not go into businesses that do not have a mask requirement.
A few more months of caution will get us through this. Let's have the discipline to finish the job.
After a record number of rounds and revenue the decision to increase rates 13 -24 % for annual golf passes seems misplaced.Golf has enjoyed unprecedented increase in participation due
to Covid-19...how that plays foreword we will see however we should be careful not to create rates that eliminate or discourage older fixed income golfers and participants new to the
game...some moderation of the increase would be wise..thank you
I encourage the City Council to continue the current COVID guidelines for the City of McCall, including the mask mandate. The sustained level of spread, arrival of new variants in Idaho,
and our unique quality of being a highly visited recreational site all support continuing guidelines and support for the health of our community individuals and businesses. Thank you
for your efforts to keep our community safe.
Why would we not want to maintain our mask mandate when we are a tourist destination, bring in many new visitors from many different locals. Idaho’s infection rate is still very high
even though it is subsiding some. Let’s error on the side of science and eliminate the mandate later when it is much safer. Having it in place is not going to impact our businesses,
but it will keep the community safer.
I am writing in response to the CDH Board’s vote to downgrade the mask mandate. Clearly their vote represents an irresponsible and purely political viewpoint of this critical component
to impede COVID-19 spread. We are far from receiving adequate numbers of much needed vaccines in our area, and the scientific community is still grappling with the efficacy those vaccines
have on the ever evolving variants. We are not in the clear yet. Being a vacation destination, we have all witnessed personal responsibility going out the window as visitors let their
guard down all to often. This puts undue stress and liability on our businesses and citizens, which can simply be circumvented by requiring masks. It’s easy, safe and the right thing
to do to protect and prevent serious illness, resulting challenges, and yet more loss of life in our community. Please keep the mask mandate in force at this time.
Please reinstate the mandatory mask mandate for the City of McCall. The CDC recommends the continuation of COVID safety protocols including masking and social distancing even with more
people becoming vaccinated. We live in a destination community where visitors come from all over making it important to reduce the risk of COVID transmission from other areas by mandating
mask wearing. Please vote to protect our community.
We need to stay safe from COVID. Even when some people are vaccinated we need the mask mandate to protect everyone not vaccinated from the disease. We are all tired of COVID, but now
is not the time to let our guard down. Especially with all of the tourists. Who knows what variant they are bringing into our town. Protect us please!
Please make sure that we have a mask ordinance in place. Thank you all for keeping us safe!
To protect individuals and businesses in McCall, I urge that Council extend the current mask ordinance through Labor Day. There will be, I'm sure, an influx of summer visitors from
across the country carrying with them unknown risks related to the transmission of COVID-19. CDH recent decision regarding masks reflects an irresponsible and uninformed attitude/belief.
But as some say, "there ain't no way to fix stupid", and that certainly applies to CDH. Please do better to continue to protect our community.
Please keep the mask mandate in place. Give us the Freedom to stay safe!
That seems like a fairly substantial rate increase. Why not propose a 5 year rate plan? Please put some thought into the possibility of two rates - one for locals and one for visitors
in the area. Couple of other thoughts - why not have a fee for people walking the golf course in the winter? Secondly, why not do a fund raiser (live auction) for the new golf master
plan in the Summer at the golf course? Let the people at the golf course run it with the help of the women's club and men's club and not the city. Have a dinner, drinks music, someone
well known to host the event? How about a golf tournament to raise money? It's time to think outside the box.

Re: Agenda Item - COVID-19 Update
The St. Luke’s McCall Medical staff would like to express our gratitude to the City Council and your employees for your efforts and contributions to educate, support and serve our community
members throughout the past year as we have all had to adjust and innovate to balance our desire to both keep our community safe and our economy going.
We realize you have made many difficult decisions throughout the pandemic. You now have another one in front of you as you consider implementing a mask mandate for the City of McCall
given the recent decision by the Central District Health Board to lift the order mandating face coverings be worn in Valley County.
We know that wearing face coverings, has been one of our most effective actions to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
We also know that actions taken by civic leaders to provide clear guidance and set expectations has been helpful in accomplishing this objective.
We respectfully request that you continue to share clear guidance and set expectations for wearing masks with a mask mandate, and here are the reasons why it is important:
• Setting and communicating clear expectations regarding wearing face coverings provides clear direction and supports consistent and shared behavior from residents, businesses, and visitors.
• The virus is still active in our region. The number of COVID-19 cases has declined in Valley County and throughout Idaho in February. The decline follows a three-month spike in cases.
COVID has not gone away and risk for community spread remains. Wearing face coverings is a simple thing we can all do to help prevent the spread.
• COVID-19 vaccines are another tool we now have that will help us get through the pandemic. However, it is going to take time to vaccine the community.
• We must remain vigilant now that the South African and United Kingdom variants have been detected in Idaho. These variants are more transmissible and may cause more severe illness.
The number of COVID cases could rapidly increase locally and throughout Idaho, if fewer people choose not to wear masks.
• It helps businesses and schools stay open.
• Setting clear direction and expectations with a mask mandate also supports our businesses and supports them to require their employees and customers to wear masks.
Until we can expand the number of people who are vaccinated, we strongly recommend everyone to continue to follow the recommendations from the CDC, Idaho Department of Health and Welfare
and Central District Health.
• Wear a face covering around anyone who is not a member of your household.
• Avoid indoor social gatherings.
• Avoid large indoor gatherings.
• Continue, or if not already in place, implement workplace safety practices.
• Wash hands frequently.
• Get a COVID-19 vaccine.
The vaccine supply is limited at this time. Everyone who wants a vaccine will be able to get one, but its going to take time.
We can beat this together if we follow the guidelines that we know work,

Please continue to enforce a mask mandate. The research and medical gurus are advocating this. Valley County and the towns within this county need to adhere .
Hello McCall City Council,
I am writing to ask that you implement a mask mandate for the city of McCall. With CDH lifting the Valley County mask ordinance, our local businesses need support for asking patrons
to mask up. Schools need support in requiring masking, so our kids can continue in-person learning. Masking has been shown to be effective in slowing the spread of COVID19, and with
new variants now appearing in Idaho, is even more important now. Until our vaccination rates provide effective herd immunity, we need to continue to do everything we can to ensure
people are following the CDC guidelines (masking, distancing, handwashing, staying home when sick or exposed) to help keep the vulnerable parts of our population safer. Thank you for
your service to our community, Regan Berkley
Over the past couple of weeks as our COVID19 positive cases have been declining and we are increasing the amount of vaccines distributed to our community I have felt an overwhelming
optimism that I have not felt in almost a year.
As a community member and the administrator of your local hospital, I too would like to return to a state in which masks are not mandatory, my kids could go to school everyday and we
can enjoy the company of others. We are so close to the finish line, however now is not the time to let up on the gas. We have ONLY been seeing a decline in the COVID cases this month.
If we do not continue to support a mask mandate it is likely we will see increasing numbers through out our county in which we will later be faced to impose mandates yet again. If
we can manage to continue on our course for just a little longer we may be able to remove restrictions without relapse or potential to reimpose mandates later this spring.
Please reinstate a mask mandate for the city of McCall.
It is my opinion that if Central District Health believes an advisory is enough then we should remain with the advisory. All along it has been said that we are following the guide lines
of Central District Health, why should we change those guide lines now? In talking with friends and family, I do not think I am the only one who is of this opinion. As I ask those around
me to make their voices heard in a public comment they all refuse, as they fear reprisal for not agreeing with those stating the opposite opinion loudly and forcefully. I myself have
wanted to comment before now and thought long and hard before commenting today for the same reasons. But I also do not want to live in a world where people fear to say what they believe.
Being a resort town with many visitors and until we are closer to herd immunity, I am in favor of continuing with a mandatory mask order. Having walked throughout town and the variety
of stores, I am seeing quite a few more people ignoring the 'strong recommendation' of wearing masks in places of business. It feels as though by lifting the recent order, people are
freer to do as they wish by not wearing masks.
We live in a resort community. We need to protect the community and the visitors. There are variants of the virus in Idaho
Please continue the mask mandate to keep us all safe .
McCall has a great golf course and while the increase in prices is significant it's not that far out of line. However, I don't believe it's fair that you simply keep taking from your
residents whatever the market will bare. That is not the right way to run a city or a golf course.
I'm assuming that most of the people who buy season passes are McCall residents, to them having such a nice course to play is indeed a plus to living in and supporting the city. However,
in buying the pass designed to let you play the entire season you then double dip having events and tournaments that take many of the weekends depriving those that work the opportunity
to play. As members many of us can never get into the tournaments because they are full of nor-resident players. I agree that this is good for McCall and the visitors bureau.
However, there are some residents who believe this has been pushed past the extreme. If you take and take, shouldn't you give something back?
Thank you,
C David Rolfe
I think this is a bad look for the city. It’s a muni course..locals should have one place they can afford to play golf. An increase this significant coming off a record year in revenue
as well? Will the course open 9 holes in May and allow us to play earlier? Will it not close in October? The season is already short enough and the fact that it doesn’t open until
Memorial Day weekend when often times the weather is accommodating earlier yet they can’t open 9 holes for play? The rates go up every year and I think most of us can accept a 3 percent
increase a year. A 24 percent increase to the after 2 pass will result in fewer passes sold. That pass is for people who might be new to golf, or the working person who can’t play
during the day. Seems like price gouging to me. I love the course and the people who work there but it’s a local course it’s not a resort course.
I hope the council will consider extending the mask mandate for a bit longer. It has been tough on everyone, but with the variants entering the state, I feel like it’s too soon to lift
the mandate, especially when only a very small part of the population is vaccinated. It is hard for businesses to require masks if they do not have the mandate to back them up. The
heavy amount of tourism we have been experiencing makes us more vulnerable to exposure to the virus and the new variants. Please consider extending the mask mandate for just 2 more
months. Thank you.
I am here to advocate for a continued mask ordinance. The progress the local schools, businesses and hospitals have made are good examples of keeping a tight control on CDC recommendations.
The nuances of this virus is still unknown, especially considering the new variants from the UK and South Africa that have both been identified in Ada County. It would be irresponsible
to lift the ordinance after a year of hard work to protect our fragile community. If you remove masks, you're making a bold statement to our educators, health professionals, emergency
workers and everyone on the front lines, that their efforts do not matter. In addition, we are still in the first phases of vaccines. Most, people in the first phase (teachers, 65+
people) still cannot get a vaccine because of repeated shortages. The people that are in high contact with the public, service industry and grocery attendants are not even eligible
yet. People that are high risk are not even eligible yet. Please take these variables into careful consideration. Now, that Idaho has publicly lifted the mandate as a state- we are
the biggest attraction in the United States. Thank you for your mindful care and attention during this vulnerable time.
McCall City Council,
I am writing to you today to express my support for a mask mandate in the City of McCall.
The evidence is clear that masks work in reducing the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
Things are getting better with the decline in positive cases and the availability of vaccines, but the pandemic is far from over.
Wearing masks sets a clear expectation to our community members, businesses, and visitors. It also supports our schools and students by doing whatever we can to keep our community healthy
so kids can go to school in person.
It was unfortunate that the Central District Health Board, with full support from all Valley County Commissioners, chose not to support preventative measures to protect our citizens’
health during a pandemic.
We are so close to getting through this, we can’t give up now.
Please pass a mask mandate to support the citizens of McCall and all who visit our beautiful town.
Thank you for your consideration,
Laura Crawford
McCall, Idaho
I am strongly in favor of keeping a mask mandate in McCall.
Thank you.
It is so, so important for those of us in the service industry in McCall to have the backing and support from our city to continue to protect our staff and customers with a mask mandate.
Please consider those who keep this town running when making this decision that impacts them the most! Thank you! 💜
Please continue to support the Mask Mandate in McCall and actually in all of Valley County. Protect the locals! With mask-wearing a proven effective method of reducing the spread of
Covid germs, it only makes sense to require all of us, including numerous tourists who visit our area, to wear masks. Let's be safe, not sorry... We're not out of the woods yet!
I support the City of McCall extending the mask ordinance. March will bring our community four contiguous weeks of spring breakers from all over the US. McCall has already established
itself as a pro-mask community and the extension will demonstrate our City's support and prioritization of the health and safety of our residents and visitors.
Dear Members of the McCall City Council,
I'm grateful for the measures you took last summer to put a mask mandate in place; I urge you to continue the mandate through the summer. The vaccine roll-out will take time and we are
now dealing with the UK variant that has been detected in Boise. It spreads more easily. According to Dr. David Pate, member of the Idaho Coronavirus Task Force, "The highest attack
rate is in children five to nine years old." The mask mandate will protect our children. Not only are our children more vulnerable with this new strand of Covid, but so is McCall's
workforce; many of our frontline workers, those that work in stores and in the service and tourist sector do not yet qualify for a vaccine. They will be most at risk if a mask mandate
is not enforced. Finally, let's help out our businesses and support their efforts to continue social distancing and masking.
Thank you for considering my comments.
Sincerely,
Melissa Coriell
McCall
We still need a mask mandate! Tourists continue to pour into McCall and its import our citizens are protected. Yes, many have been vaccinated, but the majority of the community hasn’t.
Spring break is around the corner and we’ve seen spikes around holidays.... it’s too soon to lift the mandate. Also, if want want schools to continue running in any form of in person,
masks mandates for the community will make that more possible. If we lift too soon, it could have adverse affects on schools and families.
I wholeheartedly support the continuation of the City of McCall's mask mandate. By wearing masks per CDC guidelines and by social distancing we protect ourselves and everyone else in
our community: schools are safer for our children, businesses are keeping customers and employees healthy, families are safer when they venture out into the community and the hospital
won't be overwhelmed by an explosion of Covid cases. Thank you City Council members for supporting this mandate and please continue to do so.
Thanks to McCall City Council members for supporting the mask mandate. In these times it is uplifting to see leaders looking out for the health and safety of the people and businesses
of the community.
I would really like to see Valley County take the same approach. We are all affected by the traffic to McCall.
Thank you,
Linda Jarvis
Please extend the mask mandate in McCall. While the latest covid-19 numbers are encouraging, now is not the time to relax covid protocols. As a resort community, McCall attracts many
visitors and part-time residents from areas where covid infections are still having a high level of occurrence. Where there are encouraging trends with the incidence of covid infections,
it is essential to extend the mask mandate, especially with the new variants. Most of our local businesses will require masks, but without the support of a city mask mandate it puts
the burden on employees to require masks. If you want to support our local businesses, extend the mandate. As full time residents, we spend $1,000s locally, however we only use businesses
where masks are worn. Without the mask mandate we will be forced to take our spending to other communities or on-line. Please follow the advice of medical professionals and do not
allow politics to decide a health and safety issue.
Thank you
I feel it important for McCall to require wearing masks in all public buildings, businesses etc. Even though the number of cases of COVID 19 have gone down we need to continue safe
health practices which includes mask wearing.
Don't repeal the mask mandate at this time. To do so would be reckless and foolish.
Dear City Council,
I'm writing my letter in a plea to please not renew a mask mandate for our city. I am not against wearing masks, I'm just asking that you let individuals and individual businesses be
allowed to make this decision. My plea for your vote against the mask mandate is based on a step to create unity in our community again. When Covid 19 started to impact our community
over a year ago I feel we were all united by fear and concern for our health and loved ones but it soon became a very political and divisive climate that has separated the "maskers"
and the "anti-maskers".
McCall is a unique community with strong, resilient, and adventurous citizens and it breaks my heart to see relationships and businesses torn apart. We all live here because we love
what McCall offers and have built great friendships. Without the mask mandate we can take away some of the division, let people make decisions for their health individually. If someone
feels they are at risk, or even not feeling well, they can determine if they go into a store or restaurant, or wear a mask.
On another note, I feel that not instituting a mask mandate is a step in the right direction to return to normalcy in our community and beyond. I'm the rehab director in our local nursing
home. Our facility took very strict PPE precautions and followed guidelines for the protection of our patients during 2020, as we always do being that we work with a very vulnerable
population. There is not one resident that does not have several co-morbidities putting them at risk for life threatening illness. We lasted until December, when Covid swept rapidly
through our building, infecting both staff and all but 3 residents. Of those, none were hospitalized. None. They have all successfully recovered. But, prior to our Covid outbreak in
December, we had 9 residents die in 2 months. NINE. That is a lot in a small facility that has at most 30 residents at a a time. Some of these residents died of natural causes but I
believe even more died from loneliness. I watched the light and passion for living leave these residents as they gave up on life. These were not just residents, these were a part of
my family.
They died indirectly from Covid. Every staff member that walked into their room had to at the minimum be wearing masks and faceshields. Most of the time staff was also gowned and gloved.
A significant amount of time the residents had to stay quarantined in their room. No family. No human contact. Please remember that the majority of our patients are hard of hearing
and depend on lip reading. Now, we look like hazmat workers and we are yelling at them. Many are confused by dementia and it's hard to understand a phone call or a zoom meeting. Many
depended on volunteers that visited, hugged, brought pets in, played music, did crafts ect. to feel loved, a basic human need. That was all gone. Families that typically came almost
weekly were no longer allowed. Our patients have suffered and it was not from the actual infection of Covid 19. It was from isolation and the inhumane treatment enforced by government
entities. Most days our staff wants to cry when they see the loss in these residents eyes. It feels like torture.
I say all this only to tell you that my hope is as a community we can start making decisions to get back to some sort of normalcy. Please consider voting no to implement a mask mandate.
Let people make their own health decisions. Don't underestimate the intelligence of our community to make good decisions. There are always radicals on either end of the spectrum, please
make this decision for the majority of our community.
Thank you for taking the time to read my letter.
Very respectfully,
Jenny Sowers
Mayor and Council Members
Please vote no on any further mask mandates.
The people of McCall are healthy, intelligent, capable and well educated. Over the past year our government servants at every level have insisted that they are more of all these things
than any of us. For our own City Council to believe that the Citizens of McCall have to be told how to care for themselves and keep themselves healthy through years of mandates is ridiculous.
Continuing health orders, such as mandatory mask wearing, is not necessary. We are beating COVID, we have done as asked and the cases are low. Every week and month for the past year,
the professionals from the various health agencies have threatened and warned that "if we let down our guard, we will overwhelm the hospitals and have substantial loss of life". None
of the horror stories have come true. Take credit where you want, for our health, our low rates, and low deaths. Take credit where you wish for the healthy people of McCall caring for
themselves. But please, vote no on a continued mask mandate. It is not wanted. If a "mask is 95% effective" as Dr. Irvine claimed in is May 5th, 2020 Open Letter to the community. On
February 19th, 2021, CDH Director Russ Duke, Valley County Commissioner Hasbrouck and Central District Health members all agreed on removing mask mandates for their respective districts.
Let the people of McCall make their own choices and end this divisive mandate.
As you consider this evening the continued wearing of masks in our community I urge you to continue the policy for the protection of all of us and our visitors. We have reached 20%
of our county receiving the vaccination so we are not past this we are improving. Let's continue a safe practice so we can hopefully open up more and enjoy more outdoors this summer.
We discussed this at Krahn's yesterday and we will continue to ask those entering our store to mask and social distance. Let's do our part and protect each other.
Hello, I am hoping the City Council will extend the mask mandate. The majority of locals are wearing them because they realize it is required and that encourages tourists to do the same.
The few businesses where the owners are not wearing masks are being avoided. With possible Covid variants and the number of tourists not wearing masks in the summer without a mask mandate
McCall would be a hotbed for Covid. Please extend the mask mandate. Thank you. Ingri Millemann
To McCall City Council:
Lifting the mask mandate in our county right now is reckless. During the winter season, we are facing the greatest threat from COVID-19 as groups convene indoors. President Biden's appointee
for the CDC has publicly spoken about how this is not the time to lift mask mandates due to the large number of daily cases and deaths nationwide. McCall is not immune to these statistics.
As a bustling resort town, we are all at a higher risk of exposure. Lifting the mask mandate will increase the odds of becoming infected exponentially.
Only a small proportion of our county is vaccinated as new variants of the virus are being transmitted. As case rates continue to grow nationwide, the vaccine roll out has been slowed.
With more vaccinations on the way as we work through the roll out, we are too close to safely ending this pandemic to throw it all away now. This is not the time to let fatigue and
preferences guide our actions.
Nobody is excited about wearing a mask, but we are becoming more accustomed to masks. If it's decided that we should lift the mandate, many people will discontinue this public health
and safety practice, which undoubtedly increase case rates in Valley County.
Repealing the mask mandate puts the burden of handling a global health crisis on local officials, medical professionals, and public health departments. These people are already overburdened
and often under attack for doing their jobs. Please consider the health and safety of our most vulnerable citizens when you make your decisions. Please don't prolong this pandemic by
lifting a simple and effective public health and safety measure.
Sincerely,
Kathy Schon
I strongly feel that McCall needs to continue to have a mask mandate. I believe that the mandate has in no way negatively impacted our economy, rather it has helped us to be able to
keep our staff safer and our businesses open.
As business owners, we will continue to require that all our staff, and request that all our customers, wear masks. Without CDH, county and city mandates, this is made more and more
difficult. We have already seen increased push back and aggression from a handful of customers in the last few days. Without a clear mandate from the city, it definitely makes it harder
for us to insist on masks, and is an unfair burden on our staff.
It is encouraging that our numbers are lowering, however, with our large number of tourists, we are vulnerable to people bringing in new potentially more contagious strains.
It would be wonderful to be able to seriously look at bringing our kids back to school full time. In order to do this, we should look at doing everything we can to keep our numbers lowered.
Masks are an easy, proven way of doing this.
Thank you for your leadership during the pandemic, and the difficult decisions you have had to make over the past year. Please hold steady now.
Please support a mask mandate! We are presently rendered unprotected by the actions at the state and CDH level, as politics hold sway over science and public safety. The CDH Board
is now overwhelmingly composed of members who discount or disbelieve the scientific facts, or, worse yet, bend to fear of a very small minority of threatening extremists holding us
all , and this process, political hostage. Our own commissioner, and those board members from Elmore and Boise counties, and now, shockingly, with the inclusion Raul Labrador, a political
opportunist who has publicly disparaged safety measures, are either deniers or unwilling to take clearly necessary steps in the public interest they perceive as being against the will
of their constituents. Well organized smear campaigns by violent extremists through social media with email and letter drives, coupled with actual physical threat, have rendered
reason helpless. This, in spite of new, more transmissible and more deadly variants descending on our state, and, especially McCall, through tourism, from those very areas where
they are spreading the fastest. Sadly, the US has had the worst track record in the world as far as controlling spread, solely because of unwillingness to initiate and maintain those
very measures which have been proven successful elsewhere. Foremost among these is effective, mandatory masking. Congregation of unmasked disbelievers can only set us back, and McCall
is one of the most vulnerable towns in the state.
The McCall City Council acted decisively and correctly back in the spring by implementing a city-wide mask mandate. I urge the City Council to continue with the mask mandate until we
are clearly out of the woods with the coronavirus pandemic (eg summer/fall). Masks work.
Do you have children? Have you ever had to ask them to wash the dishes or clean their room? Which is the better scenario; you ask the child to please do the dishes or clean their room
and they understand, as they have been taught, the importance of having things tidy, of pitching in and helping the family? Or the scenario where you demand they do the chore, they
fight you tooth and nail, and it ends with threats of grounding, devices being taken away, constant threats of punishment and whether you will manage to follow through? With my own
children I much preferred the former to the latter. If you watched the CDH meeting on Friday it was evident that they had come to the same conclusion. Let us educate, appeal to the
good sense of our citizens, and ask them to do the right thing. No one there was anti-mask, there was great emphasis put on continued vigilance in keeping people safe. But there was
the sense to treat adults as adults and not as unruly children who don't have the ability to do the right thing when asked. I ask that you consider doing the same.
Please, as a nurse in this community who cares for the health and safety of our friends and family, I ask you to continue the mandate for mandatory masks in valley county. We have so
many travelers that come through to enjoy all our town has to offer, let’s continue to protect our community who makes McCall so amazing.
Continuing a mask MANDATE will cause public unrest and division. Please allow those of us that want to wear masks to make the choice and not forcing others.
No more mask mandates please
I am AGAINST a mask mandate for the city of McCall. The city needs to leave the decision to wear a mask, up to the business owners and citizens.
It would be very nice as a manager of a business to have it very clear to guests coming from out of town what we want them to do. Wearing a mask is the best way for us to keep are staff
safe. I'm worried we will start to loose staff members if customers don't wear masks. I would vote for masks. Thank you
I urge you to again pass a mask mandate for the City of McCall, now in the absence of the Central District Health mandate that was recently rescinded. Now is not the time to let down
our guard. Letting people take personal responsibility to wear a mask does not work any better than it would for people abiding by speed limits without it being a law. Without a doubt,
I have observed many more people wearing masks when there is a mandate than when there was not. Let’s keep our businesses open and hospitals accessible by continuing a mask mandate.
I’m writing to you today to urge you to lift the mask mandate and allow the people to choose for themselves. Encourage sovereignty in your community, where people can make their own
decision about what is best for themselves. The mask mandate was a continuation of the government overstepping their bounds, after the lockdown, and its time to give people back their
freedoms. It seems like the government needs reminded they are not responsible for people’s health. If you insist on giving out health advice, why not encourage proper nutrition, exercise,
and rest, instead of instilling more fear. The mask mandate is a slippery slope as the covid vaccine is being pushed. Will that become mandated too? Let’s get back to what America has
always stood for - freedom. Where every individual has the right to bodily autonomy, has the right to choose what is put into and on to their bodies, and has the right to choose what
is best for their health. It’s none of your business. What IS your business is preserving health freedom and upholding basic constitutional rights. Mandates have no place in a free
society.
I think that leaving mask requirements to individual businesses at this point in time is a better idea than this new order. The hostility, hatred and at times violence that can come
out when someone is confronted about mask wearing is frankly not something that we should want to see more of. I choose to wear a mask and will continue to do so as long as it is recommended.
I think it is likely that others who already have complied will keep doing so, and those who don't will unfortunately not start doing so now no matter the orders in place.
I DO NOT want mccall to have a mask mandate
I DO NOT want mccall have a mask mandate
Although not a citizen of McCall, I am a frequent (sometimes daily) customer and I have a 2nd job in McCall, I request that the City of McCall reinstate a mask mandate within the city
limits. I believe the virus is on the way out, however, this is not the time to reduce our diligence. At my 2nd job, my employer requires mask wearing for employees and customers.
We want to stay open and if one of us that works there gets ill, we have to close.
I remember several years ago that the city council turned down $30,000 a year from Verizon as rent on a proposed cell tower. You were not thinking about the long term effects of that
decision nor how far that money would have gone to fix the MGC. Tax's paid by those who own property on the golf course are much more than those that don't. Those extra monies should
be put into the golf course remodeling. The Golf course brings more money to the city than the Library ever will. You need to get your priorities straight.Try thinking out of the box
and away from the small group that you listen to.
I support continuing the mask requirement for the City of McCall until our health care professionals believe it is prudent to discontinue it or revise it to an advisory of sorts. They
are the experts who have the big picture on this horrible pandemic and what is needed to protect our citizens. The continued influx of resort visitors to McCall along with the unknowns
relative to the spread of COVID variants should create enough caution to continue the mask mandate. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this matter.
Dear McCall City Council,
I am writing to request that the city of McCall maintain a mask mandate. Though the number of COVID cases in Valley County has declined significantly, as a resort town McCall is more
vulnerable than most communities to COVID due to the many visitors both summer and winter coming from other areas. Masks, along with other safety protocols such as physical distancing,
provide the safest environment for both local residents and visitors.
Vaccinations are only getting started and according to experts, it is projected that it will not be until late summer to early fall that all who want to be vaccinated will receive it.
Employees of local businesses are frontline workers and are not even eligible yet to begin the vaccination process. At the same time, there is already one known case of a coronavirus
variant in Idaho and variants are considered to be more easily spread. Maintaining a mask mandate will keep businesses open, and provide for the safety of frontline workers, residents,
and visitors.
I understand that all of us are certainly ready to move past this pandemic and seeing case numbers decrease so significantly brings a great deal of hope that an end is in sight. At
the same time, we must all recognize that there is still a long road ahead and we must remain diligent. It would be most disheartening to see a reverse in case trends because decisions
to relax protocols and mandates were made too quickly.
Thank you for your support of the mask mandate so far. I know local businesses have felt supported by the council’s decision to implement a mask mandate, and I am personally grateful
that the McCall City Council has recognized the importance of wearing masks.
Thank you for considering my comments.

i manage a restaurant in town, we will continue wearing masks with or without the mandate. in the last week we've seen a definite rise is people not wearing masks and being rude/combative
to our staff when they're asked to put one on. please make our jobs easier and put a mask mandate back into effect.
i was listening to the radio when it was reported that the CDH mandate had been repealed, literally the next story was about the south african variant being found in sw idaho. i'm not
sure why we're trying to convince ourselves that we're ok without masks when it seems pretty obvious that we're not quite out of the woods yet
I DO NOT want a mask mandate for McCall!
McCall City Council, Please stay the course. Now I'd not the time to modify the mask mandate. First responders have just begun to get their second vaccine. Many of our local businesses
barely made it through the rise over the holidays. Our local community remains at risk due to the influx of visitors coming from outside the area. We appreciate and want them to come!
The mask mandates has not slowed the visitation to our area. Our Little Ski Hill was just closed for a COVID outbreak 3 weeks ago! Let's give this more time and keep doing the right
thing. I urge you to continue the local mask mandate! Thank you!
Dear City of McCall Council,
I am writing to urge reinstating the mask mandate for the City of McCall. Being able to lean on a city mask mandate has been an incredible "tool" when talking to people in my store
who refuse to wear a mask. The mask mandate serves to validate those requests. In the few days since the mandate has been removed, I have seen a rise in very difficult situations
when requesting guests to wear masks. Not being able to rely on my standard (but official sounding) phrase of, "I am sorry--masks are mandated in McCall," has made such requests seem
invalid.
As a resident of McCall, I have also been alarmed by the recent increase in people not wearing masks in our local grocery stores. I want to make sure we are doing everything we can
to stay healthy and to stay open for our residents and tourists.
I am lucky to work for a company that allows me to address wearing masks in all our indoor areas. Many employees in town are not allowed to do so. I firmly believe that having a mask
mandate encourages more people to wear masks and helps keep our local workers safer. I think removing the mandate has created the impression that it is okay not to wear a mask during
these still uncertain times.
Please vote for reinstating the official mask mandate for McCall. Thank you for all you time and effort.
Sincerely,
Kelly Miller

My wife and I live in Cascade, but do business in McCall about 5 days a week. Given that objective science shows that masks harm people more than reducing infection spread (if at all),
I am supportive of ending the mask mandate in McCall. If it is anything like the CDH mandate, it is unenforcable (not according to me, but according to Idaho Law). Please use up to
date and complete data when considering current covid responses, rather than the original projections which turned out to be severely flawed (I'm pretty sure we should all be dead according
to the original models). We have nearly a year's worth of data, but you have not changed your response to be in alignment with the reality of the situation.
Covid is a seasonal bug, which targets the typical demographic. There is no reason to hamper business as usual.
Best,
Brad
Pls do not extend the mask mandate in McCall. Our CDH has removed theirs, and they are supposed to be the group most in tune with health related matters. Cases are significantly declining
and the recent lawsuit made it clear in its precedent that the mandate is largely unenforceable anyway. I would recommend removing the mandate and issuing an advisory in its place similar
to what CDH did. Thank you.
Keep Mask Mandate in McCall. Before the Mandate I saw a number of people without masks in the local food stores, once the city had a mask mandate the locals and visitors responded overwhelming
in wearing masks in public indoor spaces. City Government has a responsibility to protect people and when it stands up, people listen. Making Mask wearing just recommended only, enforces
the false belief that the pandemic is not serious but it is. We are getting our citizens vaccinated but it will take time to get to herd immunity, please make masks mandatory in public
spaces in McCall. We are a tourist town, just like Ketchum and are very open to community spread. Let's stay safe, protect our citizens. Do the right thing. Keep Masks Mandatory in
McCall
Masks cause bacterial pneumonia. Not only are young people becoming sick from them, elderly are not helped when forced to wear. Masks are a disservice to human health, only when heavy
particles are in the air should they be used, ie; when cutting materials in the construction field or heavy dust in the air from sweeping. Common sense should be used, not flip flopping
opinions based on false data. Thank You for considering.
I vote for masks to NOT be mandatory.
I do not agree with the proposed rate increase at the Mc Call Golf Course for this next season. The golf course must have had its best year ever in assets for 2020. Golf was the one
sport people could enjoy and it seemed the course was its busiest ever. Many patrons have suffered losses in wages this past year also. A $100 hike in seasons pass dues seems excessive.
Many of the women that play in the league buy season’s passes and are happy to contribute each year to our fundraiser that supports improvements on the course. Hope the board will reconsider
this decision.
I accepted two weeks of lockdowns to flatten the curve. Then a few months. Then, if you’d just wear the mask, life could get back to normal. I did that too, but where and when does it
end? Life continues to be anything but normal. Please stop telling us how our lives must be tailored to the commands of local officials. We were told that CDH would make determinations
for our community and now it will once again be the decision of our City Council. It is one thing for a business owner to ask its patrons to wear a mask but entirely different to continue
these edicts based in unsubstantiated dogma simply because the business owners don’t want to be the bad guy. I respectfully request the McCall City Council (most of whom I have voted
for and assumed had my best interest as an American citizen at heart) not reinstate your previous mandate as it will only perpetuate the growing divide in our community. Let the business
owners make decisions for themselves. All of the science shows the spread is most significant at the family level...please follow the science.
I urge you to reinstate the McCall Mask Order. Now is not the time to become complacent about keeping our community safe and healthy.
Well, the Health District has stepped up and made the wrong decision to move from a mandatory mask, social distancing, and crowd size requirement to a voluntary compliance standard.
I can only hope the McCall City Council will do what the City of Boise has done to continue to require the recommended CDC standards for masks, distance, and crowd size. Unfortunately,
the new and more contagious varieties of COVID are in neighboring states and now in Idaho. Now is not the time to let our guard down, especially with the difficulty of getting appointments
for vaccinations because of limited vaccine supplies and difficult reservation systems—Cascade Medical Clinic’s process being the exception.
I strongly disagree with Commissioner Hasbrouck who says, "The whole intent of the orders were to keep the hospitals from getting overwhelmed so ,,," That was one goal. The other goal
which has not been met is to eliminate community spread of the virus.
Valley County Cumulative Incident 6.934.7Rate per 100,000 cases continues to climb according to the State of Idaho dash board data. It has steadily climbed week to week and as of yesterday
stood at 6.934.7. The new standard for protecting others and yourself is doubling up on masks. While I commiserate with the businesses that are struggling because of the pandemic,
most seem to be surviving and it is reported the local option tax has exceeded prior years revenue. One can presume the masking, distance, and crowd size requirements have not drastically
reduced the flow of tourism dollars. What will have a negative impact is a serious jump in cases making McCall and Valley County less safe.
Last Friday night my wife ordered a takeout dinner from the Mill (our attempt to support local businesses). I went to pick up the meal only to find that hardly any of the patrons were
wearing masks while waiting seating. The manager was not masked and the waitresses were masks but not wearing them properly. Last night will be the last time I patronize the business.
The UPS store employees have gone unmasked during the entire pandemic thus far and there are no barriers to protect customers. Another “local” business that has lost my patronage—a
real concern as postal service continues to decline.
My family has been unfortunate in experiences with COVID with two of my sons who work in public safety having contracted the disease. One son with cancer was overcome by the COVID and
died on February 2nd. The other son fortunately recovered with minimal after effects. My two grandsons, one a contractor and the other a high school student, both recovered with only
mild illnesses.
A Boise attorney who has a second home in McCall e-mailed me that he doesn’t mask up because he is demonstrating his bravery and independence—the Donald Trump attitude—by not wearing
a mask. Shameful.
Please continue ( and Enforce!) the mask mandate. People continue in numbers to recreate here, most coming from the Treasure Valley , which every week continues to be the most contagious
area in Idaho. So many of these tourists still refuse to wear masks. Let us follow the advice of this nation's experts and scientists, and not let our guard down. Please do not respond
to the pressure of those who are blinded by political opinion and/or false information. Let us set the mark, be an example for other communities, continue keeping the citizens of our
community safe, and hopefully reap the benefits of such actions..
Thank you! Jeff Sheldon
