Body
BACKGROUND / RATIONALE:

The executive order allows businesses and other establishments to require employees and/or customers to follow additional measures, including the wearing of a face covering and limiting their operational capacity. Cities fall under the category of “other establishments” and thus staff is looking for direction form the Mayor and City Council on whether to require customers wear marks at city facilities and whether to operate city facilities at 100% occupancy.
