It’s getting very difficult to run a business with all the COVID cases and cancellations. We had no problems with people arguing when there was a mandate and now it’s so nerve wracking. Let’s help each other please? As of this morning, the entire state of Idaho's health system is operating under the Crisis Standards of Care. Some communities in our state have reinstated a mask mandate. I feel strongly that it is time to do the same thing for our highly transient, tourist destination town. Masks are now required inside all City facilities - it is time to extend that same order for the town. Many businesses are doing that on their own, but patrons pay far more attention if there is a city mandate backing businesses up. I work part time at Barn Owl Books here in McCall. Fortunately, my boss feels strongly about patrons having to wear masks to enter. But it would be so much easier for all of us - owner and employees - if we could simply say, "It's required by the city" to those who balk at wearing a mask. I've had several people say to me, "I'll wear a mask when the City mandates it". Thank you for your consideration.
