Council to consider order for face covering in public at special session
The Town Council will convene in a special session on Friday, June 19, at 3 p.m. to consider whether to mandate the use of face coverings by all persons in public.
The decision follows an updated Executive Order by Governor Doug Ducey which authorizes cities and towns to require the wearing of face coverings in public in order to limit the spread of COVID-19.
The staff report to the council states that several cities and towns in Arizona are enacting similar emergency orders in an effort to stem the spread of the virus. The staff report also states the council does have the authority to issue such an emergency order.
