8.C. ORD 21-013 Second Reading and Action on Ordinance 21-013, an Emergency Ordinance Amending Emergency Ordinance 21-001 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.
Please support this ordnance in its entirety. Continue to protect the vulnerable population of the city. Brookings has made great decisions regarding the COvid-19 pandemic and restrictions. Now is not the time to let our guard down, Brookings is back in the substantial category, spring break is just over, local cases have been increasing again. Please support a few more weeks of protection for our citizens of Brookings,
This is a good compromise between those that deem mask wearing a sensible choice and those that want businesses to be fully open and because: 1) we're still in a substantial spread; 2) case load has increased in surrounding states; 3) substantial numbers still need vaccinated; 4) variants continue to spread which may impact those who've already gotten vaccinated. I applaud most of the council for their leadership and courage during this difficult past year.
