SUMMARY STATEMENT:
As part of the City’s response to the SARS-COV-2 (Coronavirus) Pandemic, Council enacted Ordinance 986 on March 20, 2020 to establish Emergency Powers Authority of the City for public
health purposes. The Ordinance is effective for 182 days and expires on September 18, 2020. Any Public Health Orders issued by Council pursuant to this Ordinance cannot extend past
the effective date of the Emergency Powers Ordinance. To sustain restrictions established by an emergency ordinance or moratorium beyond the 182-day period, a governing board must adopt
an interim or regular ordinance, following the notice and hearing procedures provided in section 67-6509, Idaho Code. These are the procedures followed by the Planning & Zoning Commission.
The Council has issued one Order under this authority to mandate the use of facial coverings in all public indoor and outdoor places where 6 feet of physical distance cannot be maintained,
with some exemptions. Resolution 20-12 expires on September 1, 2020. The attached proposed Resolution 20-20 extends the date to September 18, 2020 to coincide with the expiration date
of the Emergency Powers Ordinance.
On August 11, 2020 the Central District Health Board issued a Mask Order for Valley County for an indefinite time period. Valley County Commissioner Elt Hasbrouck serves on the Central
District Health Board and will be available during this Council meeting for discussion of next steps and coordination.
Given the upcoming expiration dates of McCall’s authorities and the recent action of the CDH Board, the City Manager recommends that Council discuss whether Council wishes to retain
authority for issuing Orders such as the Mask Requirement, or allow it to expire and default to the current and any future CDH Orders. If Council wishes to retain authorities, a new
Emergency Powers Ordinance will need to be prepared and adopted according to Idaho Code 67-6509.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution 20-20 Extending the Mask Mandate, Direct staff to prepare a new Emergency Powers Ordinance per Idaho Code and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary
documents.
