8.D. ORD 20-028 Second Reading and Action on Ordinance 20-028, an Emergency Ordinance Amending Emergency Ordinance 20-010, as previously amended, to Extend and to Comprehensively Adopt Provisions to Address a Public Health Crisis and to Revise Certain Measures which are Necessary for the Immediate Preservation of the Public Health, Safety and Welfare of the City and are Necessary to Slow the Community Spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) in the City of Brookings, South Dakota.
I was a consulting and city engineer for the first 20 years of my career. I attended a lot of council meetings regularly. I understand the challenges facing our city leaders on complex issues. A recent published study indicated that universal mask wearing could save well over 100,000 lives through the end of February. I just support your decision to do everything we can to all wear masks, social distance and keep our businesses open.
I encourage the Council to heed the scientific consensus and take all necessary precautions to protect the health of Brookings area residents.
