6.A. ORD 20-007 First Reading and Introduction of Ordinance 20-007, an Ordinance Amending Emergency Ordinance 20-005 (Revised) to Address a Public Health Crisis and to Revise Certain Measures Which Have Been Deemed Necessary to Slow the Community Spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19). Second Reading: April 12, 2020.
Thank you for your time, for your service and your leadership. I have always believed that an elected official should never sacrifice their judgement for my opinion.
We have no idea as to how many people are sick. We are only testing those who are sick enough to go to the hospital. What we have learned from the US Navy is, that 60% of the positive tests were from sailors who showed no symptoms. We should continue to keep the most vulnerable safe, as the existing ordinance does.
The city decided that these actions were satisfactory enough to open the city owned liquor store and golf course at a previous date, while not giving that same opportunity to all the other small businesses within Brookings city.
I want to know why now you are stating that Food Service places need to wear masks. We all been open this entire time and did not have any requirements to wear a mask before so why now are you stating we have to. I don't believe you need to make things harder for business to operate during this tough time we are all going through.The CDC doesn't even say you are required to wear a mask. It is a recommendation. Its a personal choice to wear one.
