Clarification of COVID-19 Public Health Orders on Municipal Operations
1) Council meetings and any other public meetings or hearings being held by the municipality that are open to the public are considered pubic events, therefore subject to the Public Health Order. This means mandatory masking (effective September 17, 2021), and verification of proof of vaccination (starting Oct. 1, 2021).
2) For Citizens attending municipal offices to pay taxes, utilities or other municipal business, mandatory masking applies. As this is not an event, municipalities do not have to verify vaccination status on individual citizens looking for service.
