SUMMARY STATEMENT:
On January 7, 2021, Council adopted Resolution 21-04 to implement a health advisory order to assist efforts by Central District Health to minimize and mitigate effects of the COVID-19
pandemic. The resolution included a reference to Central District Health’s Mask Order for Valley County. On February 19, 2021, Central District Health’s Board lifted the Mask Order
for Valley County.
Dr. Gregory Irvine of St. Luke’s hospital and Commissioner Elt Hasbrouck who serves as the Valley County representative on the Central District Health Board will give an update to the
Council on the state of the pandemic and local concerns.
Council has the authority under Ordinance 995 to issue its own Public Health Order for facial coverings applicable to an area encompassing 5 miles out from the city limits for a duration
up to 45 days. In the alternative Council can choose to retain the current Public Health Advisory issued by Resolution 21-04 with the understanding the Central District Health Mask
Order is in no longer in effect and use of masks is still strongly encouraged.
A Resolution mandating the use of facial coverings (masks) for 45 days is attached for Council’s consideration. The Resolution includes a $100 penalty for failure to comply and allows
those cited an affirmative defense based on medical exemption.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Move to Adopt Resolution 21-10 Mandating Requirement to Wear Face Coverings in Public Places and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
