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 temporary Emergency Powers Authority of the City
for public health purposes. The Ordinance was effective for 182 days and expired on September 18, 2020.
On August 27, 2020 Council directed staff to prepare a regular Emergency Powers Ordinance for adoption into the City Code pursuant to Idaho Code 67-6509. The Idaho Code requires a public
hearing of the Ordinance in front of the Planning and Zoning Commission. The Commission conducted the public hearing at their regularly scheduled meeting on October 6, 2020. One person
testified during the public hearing that the Emergency Powers Authority Ordinance was not necessary. No written testimony was received.
After discussion and consideration of the testimony received, the Commission by majority vote recommended moving the Ordinance forward for consideration by Council; that Council hold
a second public hearing on the Ordinance; and that Council consider revising the language in section 7 D to limit the duration of public health orders issued under the Ordinance to
45 days. Notices for the November 5, 2020 public hearing were published in the Star News as required.
If adopted, the Ordinance will be codified as Chapter 9, Title 5 of McCall City Code.
