A
Good
afternoon
welcome
to
the
Aiken
City
Council
special
meeting,
July
2nd
2020,
we're
going
to
call
our
meeting
to
order
we're
going
to
open
with
an
invocation
and
and
I'm
going
to
ask
captain
after
our
invocation.
Would
you
be
willing
to
lead
us
in
our
pledge?
Captain?
Ok,
thank
you.
If
you're
so
inclined,
please
feel
free
to
stand
with
us.
A
Let's
pray,
Heavenly
Father!
We
come
before
you
today,
Lord
with
open
minds,
open
hearts.
Listening
to
your
guidance
and
praying
for
your
wisdom,
we
ask
Lord
that
you
would
touch
and
protect
our
city.
We
ask
Lord
that
you
would
give
wisdom
to
this
council
Lord
as
we
try
to
do
what
is
best
and
in
the
best
interest
of
those
we
represent.
We
say
that
ask
to
hope
that
everything
we
say
will
be
pleasing,
unto
you
and
your
name.
We
ask
it
amen.
B
B
C
D
C
A
We
move
down
our
agenda
to
new
business.
We
have
one
item
for
consideration
today.
The
item
is
a
resolution
encouraging
individuals
to
wear
face
coverings
in
retail
and
food
service
establishments
as
matters
related
thereto
and
by
Titleist,
a
resolution
encouraging
individuals
to
wear
face
coverings
in
retail
and
food
service
establishments
and
matters
related
thereto.
At
this
time,
I
would
entertain
a
motion.
E
F
G
Thank
you.
We
do
have
this
resolution
that
is
encouraging
individuals
to
wear
the
face
coverings.
As
the
mayor
noted,
as
of
today,
we
just
got
information
the
update
from
DHEC
there's,
thirty,
nine
thousand
five
hundred
eighty-seven
cases
in
the
state,
including
29,
reported
new
today
in
Aiken
County.
G
The
today
we're
not
seeing
infections
at
a
level
of
other
parts
of
South
Carolina,
but
council
has
to
express
this
desire
to
be
proactive
and
encourage
residents
to
wear,
face
coverings
and
practice
social
distancing
where
appropriate
and
this
resolution
does
that,
and
it
is
before
council
for
consideration
this
evening
mayor
mr.
mayor
and
council.
Thank.
A
Would
that
I
would
be
happy
at
this
time
to
open
up
comments
to
the
audience?
Let
me
say
everyone
will
be
given
everyone
will
be
given
five
minutes.
All
your
comments
should
be
directed
to
the
chair
and,
if
you
raise
your
hand
out,
I
will
recognize
you
when
you
come
up.
If
you
would
please
state
your
name
and
address
so
that
we'll
have
it
for
our
records
that
I'll
open
up
comments?
Yes,
sir,
yes,
sir,
come
up
there,
there
should
be
a
line
in
front
of
here,
so
we
can
pick
that
up
for
the
record.
H
You,
my
name,
is
Arnold
Gelman
I'm,
a
retired
physician
I
live
in
Woodside
at
1:26,
Holly
Ridge,
Road
I
have
my
address
on
here
in
contact
and
I
also
have
with
me
some
photographs
which
were
on
CNN
just
recently,
and
there's
lots
of
places
that
you
can
find
material
about,
masks
and
I.
Just
think
we
should
have
those
things
around
town
things
that
people
can
see.
Not
everybody
watches
the
news,
not
everybody
reads.
H
The
newspapers
and
I
think
there's
a
false
sense
of
security
that
people
have
and
we
have
to
kind
of
bring
it
in
front
of
them
so
that
they
realize
that
this
is
a
serious
issue
and
that
masks
can
make
a
huge
difference.
I
mean
doesn't
matter
if
I
sit.
You
know
like
a
foot
or
two
away
from
this
gentleman
here.
If
he's
not
coughing
or
if
he
is
coffee
and
he's
capturing
it
in
his
mask,
I
still
have
really
good
protection,
but
without
it
six
feet.
Eight
feet
ten
feet.
H
If
there's
fans,
air
conditioning
I,
don't
believe
that
the
germ
is
stopping
at
the
six
foot
or
eight-foot
margin,
so
I'm
very
much
in
favor
of
the
fact
that
you
guys
are
thinking
about
having
some
way
to
get
masks.
What
I
don't
understand.
I'd
like
you
to
address
is
why
everybody
in
city
state
county
government
keeps
saying
we
don't
have
the
ability
to
enforce
masks.
I
mean
what
is
the
legal
concept
that
says
we
can't
enforce
masks.
We
can
tax
people,
we
can
make
adjustments
for
their
cars.
You
can't
do
this
with
your
car.
H
A
H
H
Not
having
signs
and
other
things
and
I
don't
know,
I
mean
I'd
love
to
go
to
eat
and
it's
one
of
those
things.
My
wife
and
I
really
enjoys
to
go
out
to
eat,
but
I
can't
see
having
a
mask
on
protecting
myself
and
then
sitting
in
a
restaurant
with
5125
people,
whatever
it
is
and
having
these
germs
floating
around
we're
so
lucky
here
in
Aiken,
so
glad
I'm
here.
H
A
A
B
B
B
However,
when
I
go
to
Publix,
that
does
everything
it
can
to
protect
people.
Everything
and
you
see
people
walking
around
without
masks
it's
threatening
it's
very
threatening
because
I'm
at
a
stage,
if
I
get
it
that's
the
end,
I
mean
there's
no
question
about
that
and
I
saw
today
in
the
letter
where
that
there
is
going
to
be
some
kind
of
promotion
about
wearing
a
mask
and
I
think
that's
so
vital
because
I
think
many
people
don't
read
the
newspaper,
don't
listen
to
news
reports.
B
B
J
My
name
is
fran
Gelman
or
meri.
Gelman
is
my
legal
name
I've
been
trying
to
kind
of
think
of
what
would
stimulate
the
twenty
to
thirty
year
olds
to
start
wearing,
masks,
okay
and
obviously,
if
y'all
said
that
you
were
going
to
close
bars
in
akin
they
were
or
if,
if
the,
if
the
level
of
incidents
of
the
digit
of
the
virus
didn't
start
going
down,
that
y'all
were
going
to
consider
closing
bars.
That
would
get
their
attention.
J
So
my
when
you
think
about
your
at
effort,
your
promo,
etc,
I
think
you
should
introduce
the
concept
that
if
everybody
in
this
city
started
wearing
a
mask
tomorrow,
it
would
take
two
to
three
weeks
to
start
seeing
the
numbers
go
down.
We
are
then
into
the
decision
of
our
of
the
schools.
That's
August
1st
right.
Are
we
going
to
open
the
schools
and
if
we
are
up
to
2,000
people
a
day
or
over
by
August
1st?
What
are
you
really
gonna
do
about
the
schools?
You
know
what
I'm
saying
yes,.
A
J
J
J
Put
something
up
that
says:
do
not
enter
unless
you
have
a
mask
when
this
whole
thing
started:
Kroger,
some
Publix
and
all
the
grocery
stores,
etc.
I
mean
the
other
stores
were
closed,
but
all
of
them
had
these
signs
up.
Now
they
have
these
very
professional
signs
up
that
say
if
you
want
to
avoid
getting
sick,
etc.
Wash
your
hand
stay
within
six
feet
of
people,
there's
about
six
different
things,
and
nowhere
does
it
say
anything
about
masks
that
is
very
misleading
and
they've
taken
the
signs
down
in
the
grocery
stores.
J
A
J
E
E
J
A
Know
you
know,
I
will
tell
you
I
I
can't
speak
for
anyone
else.
Okay,
I
was
contacted
by
a
lot
of
businesses,
in
particular
small
businesses,
who
are
encouraging
an
ordinance
which
is
more
than
a
resolution,
but
before
us
today
we're
discussing
the
resolution
and
and
I
think
councilman
Wilson's
writing
sure
will
have
further
discussion
on
it.
Did.
A
J
A
J
I
Sorry
give
me
your
last
name:
yelman,
mrs.
Gelman,
mm-hmm
I,
think
that
it's
important
as
this
resolution
moves
forward
in
hopes
it
moves
forward
that
the
citizens
of
Aiken
and
I
have
received
many
emails
and
calls
regarding
masks
in
the
last
week
actually
longer,
but
significantly
in
the
last
week
and
I
encourage
and
challenge
each
one
of
you
and
us
to
communicate
to
the
public's
and
the
Kroger's
and
the
grocery
stores
to
to
to
request
masks,
because
it's
a
food
establishment
mm-hmm.
I
B
I
I
F
C
J
A
K
My
name
is
Kelsey
Dotson
I,
look
at
177,
HP,
Drive
and
I'm
here,
just
to
reiterate
items
from
the
CDC
website,
specifically,
which
state
that
cloth
face
coverings
recommended
here
are
not
surgical,
mask
or
respirators.
Those
are
considered
critical
supplies
which
have
been
reserved
for
health
care
workers
and
their
first
responders,
and
that
cloth
face
coverings
are
not
personal,
protective
equipment
or
PPE.
They
are
not
appropriate
substitutes
for
PPE
such
as
respirators
as
in
95,
mass
or
medical
facemask,
surgical
masks,
and
so
they
are
not
the
exact
same
as
what
it
is
that
will
protect.
K
Someone
now
I
do
understand.
This
is
a
resolution
and
not
an
ordinance.
However,
as
you
pointed
out,
mr.
Austin
is
that
a
lot
of
cities
are
moving
towards
this,
and
my
real
concern
here
is
that
if
it
starts
off
as
a
resolution,
then
wouldn't
that
be
really
superfluous,
I
mean,
wouldn't
it
just
be
the
city's
job
to
better
informed
the
public
get
more
information
out
there
about
what
they
can
be
done
and
pushing
again
the
CDC
guidelines
of
maintaining
safe
distances,
washing
hands
and
wearing
whatever
masks
you
feel
is
appropriate
for
yourself.
K
Continuing
on
CDC
states
that
their
numbers
for
weeks
24
through
25
of
this
pandemic,
based
on
death
certificate
data,
the
percentage
of
deaths
attributed
to
pneumonia,
influenza
or
Kovan
decrease
from
nine
and
a
half
percent
during
week,
24
to
six
point
nine
percent
during
week,
25
and
while
it
is
above
baseline,
this
is
still
the
ninth
straight
week
that
deaths
have
gone
down.
In
other
words,
the
CDC
guidelines
are
working.
We
have
slowed
the
spread,
maybe
not
of
the
virus,
but
many
people,
nine
weeks
in
a
row,
less
and
less
Americans
are
dying
so
again.
K
I.
Just
reiterate,
this
is
a
slippery
slope.
If
you
wish
to
encourage
people,
then
encourage
them
with
more
advertisements,
encourage
them
with
signs
put
out.
You
know,
encourage
them
with
hand.
Sanitizer
stations
encourage
them
with
free
mask
giveaways,
encourage
them
with
many
other
options
that
you
can
do,
rather
than
stating
something
that
could
later
be
the
building
block
for
a
mandatory
ordinance,
which
I
personally
feel
is
violation
of
my
rights
and
I'll
leave
off
with
this
from
the
Constitution.
We
hold
these
truths
to
be
self-evident.
K
All
men
are
created
equal
that
they
are
endowed
by
their
creator
with
certain
inalienable
life
liberty
and
the
pursuit
of
happiness
that
secure
these
rights.
Governments
are
instituted
among
men
deriving
their
just
powers,
from
the
consent
of
the
governed.
Let's
now
make
that
slippery
slope
and
take
away
the
option
of
consent,
it
starts
with
that.
There
are
many
many
other
ways
that
do
not
require
passing
a
law
I.
Thank
you
all.
C
Goldman
Sachs
editor
or
put
out
a
statement,
an
article
that
national
mass
mandates
could
save
the
US
economy,
one
trillion
dollars
now,
I
know
here
in
Aiken.
Many
of
our
businesses
aren't
open
at
full
capacity
and
just
know
want
to
know
how
long
they
go
on
like
that.
Some
of
the
businesses
hadn't
opened
back
at
all
I
heart
this
one
of
them
they
hadn't
opened
up
and
some
of
the
others
that
do
and
take
out
orders
they're
not
making
as
much
money
as
they
would
if
they
could
open
completely.
C
So
we
need
to
think
about
that,
but
also,
if
they're,
not
opening,
then
all
of
the
people
that
was
working
for
them
are
furloughed
or
laid
off.
They're
at
home,
I
see
the
lines
for
the
food
giveaways,
the
food
pickups
with
Golden
Harvest.
The
actor
lines
are
miles
and
miles
with
people
that
are
hungry
because
they
don't
have
a
source
of
income
anymore
and
that
shouldn't
be,
but
also
the
children
are
usually
in
school
or
some
program
and
they
usually
get
fed
and
they're
not
also.
C
C
C
Some
of
them
gone
much
too
soon.
I
know
the
severity
of
this
virus
and
it
impacts
people
differently.
It
affects
people
differently.
You
know
some
of
the
older
people
with
underlying
health
conditions,
yeah.
Those
are
the
ones
that
usually
die,
but
you
hear
about
a
lot
of
young
people
dying
too,
and
the
young
people
are
out
now
they
think
they're
on
vacation.
We
open
up
dis
community
and
we
expected
people
to
do
the
right
thing:
we're
a
mess.
It's
all
about
respect
and
protect.
C
C
The
young
people
a
lot
of
young
people
having
called
it
19
parties
just
to
see
how
they'll
get
it
and
then
once
they
get
it,
they
they
take
it
home
to
mom
and
daddy
or
grandparents
nursing
home
I
just
had
a
relative
to
die
yesterday,
she's
been
in
the
nursing
home
at
Harper.
Is
it
Harper
chase
she's
been
in
the
nursing
home
and
she
did
not.
She
could
not
understand
why
her
family
members,
her
children,
couldn't
come
in
and
see
her.
C
C
C
C
C
You
take
every
child,
that's
up
right
now,
I'm
motivated
to
learn,
know
and
for
the
ones
that
don't
have
broadband
and
don't
have
educated
parents
to
teach
them
what's
gonna
happen
to
them
when
they
get
back
to
school
and
they're
behind.
We
gotta
think
about
that.
You
know:
I've
got
grandchildren
here
in
Aiken
and
it
breaks
my
heart
for
my
grandson
not
to
eat
your
grandson,
the
cry
and
said
Gigi
I
want
to
go
to
the
movies.
We
can't
go.
Gigi
I
want
to
go
to
the
playground.
C
C
That's
all
he
want
to
do
is
go
and
play
with
his
five
friends,
my
dog,
my
granddaughter
Harper,
it's
at
me,
st.
Mary's.
They
hadn't
made
the
decision
when
they
going
back
right
now,
she's
ready.
She
is
like
she
just
want
to
go
back
to
school
and
I
know.
We
are
hearing
people
say
well,
you
know
it
know
it
is
gonna
go
away.
This
virus
is
not
going
away
right
now.
C
It
was
too
many
willing
host
everybody
that
walk
around
with
no
mess
and
they
are
asymptomatic
and
they're
passing
it
on
to
everybody
else
their
host.
We
gotta
think
about
that.
They
don't
think
so.
I
would
say
at
the
thrift
store
yesterday
and
there
was
a
couple
in
there
not
knowing,
because
they
come
to
my
health
center
and
they
weren't
wearing
masks
and
I
asked
them.
Why
are
you
in
there
because
they're
there,
all
the
people?
Why
do
they
live
with
no
mask
on?
And
so
the
life
proceeds
to
tell
me
that?
C
C
Politics
so
I'm
just
I
just
want
to
say
that
we're
here
today,
the
past
resolution
to
encourage
people
to
wear
masks
what
we
did
in
the
beginning
encourage
people.
The
government
encouraged
people,
but
you
go
in
a
store
now
and
most
of
the
people
aren't
when
and
if
you
ask
them,
they
actually
get
belligerent.
C
C
Family
members
that
I
want
to
see
soon
I'm
used
to
Sunday
dinners
with
my
family
there's
six
I
have
five
siblings
and
every
Sunday
after
church
we
have
Sunday
dinner.
We
hadn't
been
able
to
do
that
since
March
I
just
want
to
be
with
my
family.
Is
that
too
much
to
ask
for
let
the
children
go
back
to
school
weatherman
and
eventually
we're
going
to
be
able
to
open
up
the
entire
economy
again.
C
E
Agree
with
her
100%
I
think
we
should
be
really
I
will
vote
to
pass
this
resolution
now,
but
we
really
should
be
looking
at
ordinance
passed
and
put
some
teeth
into
it.
Making
just
a
suggestion
is
not
worked,
it
hasn't
worked,
it's
not
going
to
work,
people
aren't
listening
and
an
ordinance
for
we
can
have
a
little
more
pressure
on
people,
be
it
so
I
I
think
I
mean
we
force
now.
Is
this
resolution
it's
better
than
nothing
but
not
much?
It
should
be
in
ordinance
and
that's
what
we
should
be
doing.
I
I
would
like
to
I
agree
with
Councilwoman
Diggs
I
am
I
think
we
are
all
in
the
same
boat.
It's
not
just
geared
to
one
individual.
You
know,
we've
all
had
to
sacrifice
and
been
completely
removed
from
many
aspects
of
our
daily
lives,
and
society
might
same
with
my
daughter.
I
have
an
only
child,
she's
bored
out
of
her
mind,
I'm,
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
keep
her
busy
what
to
do
and
it's
affecting
her
it's
affecting
kids.
I
So,
yes,
absolutely
I
agree
with
everything
that
you
said,
but
in
this
is
this
a
step
in
the
right
direction,
a
resolution
and
I
hate
to
say
this,
but
the
city
of
Aitkin
has
not
encouraged
educated
and
put
out
the
material
that
needs
to
be
put
out
in
the
proper
manner.
So
we're
taking
this
resolution
as
a
step
in
the
right
direction,
from
leadership
to
encourage
strongly
recommend
and
make
sure
that
people
in
our
community
understand
not
only
the
gravity
but
the
repercussions
that
can
happen.
I
If
we
are
not
socially
responsible
and
to
your
point,
not
everybody
can
wear
a
mask.
I
have
a
parent
that
can't
wear
a
mask,
so
she's
cooped
up
and
locked
up
in
her
house
every
day
she
has
to
go
to
the
grocery
store
in
an
emergency.
She's,
not
gonna,
walk
around
with
her
medical
file,
but
that
does
not
excuse
the
rest
of
us
from
wearing
a
mask
and
doing
what
is
right.
I
A
I
That's
why
we're
here
to
do
what's
right
for
the
community
and
the
right
step
for
this
community
is
to
wear
your
masks,
encourage
your
businesses.
Yes,
encouraged.
This
is
the
first
step
we
may
end
up
with
an
ordinance,
but
we've
got
to
try.
First,
when
we
met
in
March
and
April,
we
were
not
adamant
about
it.
We
know.
Quite
frankly,
we
were
just
following
state
orders.
If
you
want
to
think
about
it,
this
isn't
about
the
state
anymore.
It's
about
the
city
of
Aitkin.
I
What
are
we
going
to
do
to
make
sure
that
we
take
the
right
steps,
and
this
is
the
first
correct
step.
We
need
business
to
function
Perry
at
the
end.
We
all
know
that
I
think
we've
all
resonated
that
and
reckless
people
are
gonna
result
that
that
doesn't
happen.
My
kid
does
need
to
go
back
to
school.
Every
child
should
go
back
to
school
and
yes,
who's
responsible
for
that.
We
are
each
and
every
single
one
of
us.
I
So
we
as
leaders
need
to
resonate
that
message.
We
need
to
recommend
it.
We
need
to
encourage
it
and
right
now
make
drastic
steps
to
try
to
limit
the
spread
of
this
virus,
but
we
have
to
start
somewhere-
and
this
is
a
good
starting
point,
because
we
do
live
in
a
community
and
I
trust
our
community
to
be
receptive,
and
we
do.
We
live
in
an
amazing
community
where
9
out
of
10
people
will
do
the
right
thing.
I
So
we
need
to
trust
each
other
and
work
with
each
other
to
move
the
needle
in
that
direction.
His
life
does
need
to
come
back
to
normal,
but
attitudes
is
gonna,
get
us
nowhere.
Just
do
the
right
thing.
Wear
your
masks
and
support
small
business.
That's
really
what
it
comes
down
to
right
now,
I
I
get
calls
all
the
time
from
business
owners
who
are
just.
They
don't
know
what
to
do
and
they
want
people
to
wear
their
masks
in
their
establishments,
encourage
it.
F
Mayor,
you
know,
someone
had
said
we're
very
fortunate
and
we
are
because
Aiken
County
is
the
second
lowest
incidence
in
all
46
counties
of
the
state
into
California
and
Gregory's
at
point,
I.
Think
that
says
something
about
our
area
and
I
think
we
do
need
to
be
knew
more
to
tell
people
to
be
respectful
to
care
for
your
fellow
man
and
you
I
think
we
can
all
agree
that
the
science
that
came
out
initially
was
very
confusing.
F
F
You
know
we're
all
going
this
way.
Oh
wait.
We
need
to
go
this
way
and
a
vaccine
I
don't
want
us
to
be
thinking,
that's
going
to
be
the
end-all,
because
any
of
you
I
was
on
hospital
board
for
over
18
years.
So
to
you,
doctor
I
appreciate
what
you've
you're,
what
you've
done
all
your
life,
but
we
understand
that
viruses
mutate
and
by
the
time
you
get
the
vaccine
ready.
F
Guess
what
and
that's
why,
when
we
have
flu,
we
can't
say
how
it's
going
to
act
or
if
our
vaccine
is
going
to
be
totally
effective,
we're
hoping
to
have
the
best
combination.
But
we
don't
know
that
that's
going
to
be
case,
and
let
me
tell
you,
since
this
has
happened.
I've
made
it
my
point
to
do
my
own
research
and
there's
some
epidemiologists
that
had
been
doing
this
for
years
and
years.
F
Several
one
gentleman
that
has
over
a
hundred
peer
review
pieces
that
he's
put
out-
and
he
said
we're
using
mask
excuse
me-
is
giving
some
of
us
a
false
sense
of
security,
because
these
masks
and
even
the
n95
not
do
not
always
stop
those
super
fine,
aerosol
particles,
which
is
what
spreads
kovat
and
the
look,
and
he
says
also:
it's
not
the
casual
going
by
someone
it's
the
time
in
an
enclosed
area.
The
longer
that
time,
the
more
the
exposure.
F
F
You
know
that
that
we
can
call
on
if,
if
laws
took
care
of
everything
there
wouldn't
be
people
in
jail,
you
know
and
again
I
think
here
in
Aiken
we
are
very
blessed.
We
do
have
people
and
we
can
bring
to
what
should
we
say,
bring
to
bear
on
our
fellow
citizens
and
our
friends
to
say
come
on.
Do
you
want
this
to
get
worse
help
us
help
us
keep
it
from
getting
worse.
D
D
Safety
thanks
to
God
what
I
cannot
fathom
a
really
understand
is
why
we
have
to
repeat
something
over
and
over
and
over
again
again
again
about
the
safety
concerns
of
being
in
close
proximity
to
each
other
of
the
distance,
and
even
though
my
colleague
says
that,
based
on
information,
she's
read
that
information
has
been
shared
with
me.
I
do
believe
the
mass
serves
as
some
protection
for
us.
We
have
a
resolution
in
front
of
us.
D
Having
said
that,
unless
and
until
you
have
seen
family
members
friends
died
in
a
hospital,
you
don't
take
this
seriously
and
from
my
understanding
there
are
betting
with
younger
folks
going
on
to
see
which
one
can
contract
it
first
for
the
highest
bidder
to
spread.
That
is
the
seriousness
of
this
kovat
19
episode.
It's
a
game
to
some
and
some
believe
that
there
are
kinds
of
things
that's
being
circulated
as
to
why
the
disease
started.
D
Who
are
the
main
carriers
of
disease,
not
many
reasons
as
to
why
this
disease
is
spreading
and
I
can't
understand
for
the
for
the
life
of
me,
why
everybody
can't
uniformly
isolate
themselves
for
15
to
20
days?
I
said
get
rid
of
this
stuff?
Why
is
that
so
hard,
instead
of
month
after
month
after
month,
repeating
repeating
repeating?
D
Obviously
we
don't
want
our
economy
to
get
to
where
it
was
I'll
move
on,
and
that
is
because
we
have
not
taken
this
seriously.
We
want
to
debate
the
point
too
much
and
debating
is
not
getting
us
anywhere
while
we're
debating
for
week
after
week
we
could
have
been
isolated
and
really
had
this
under
better
control.
This
is
no
game.
This
is
serious.
Business
and
people
are
dying,
and
you
know
us,
even
though
stats
show
it.
There
are
people
that
don't
believe
the
numbers
there's
something
sick
and
I.
D
Don't
use
the
term
sick
about
that
when
you
look
at
the
numbers
state
after
state
and
people
are
not
taking
the
number
seriously,
this
is
not
a
game.
This
is
serious
business
and,
and
some
people
are
dying.
Family
members
are
dying,
I
have
people
in
my
family
that
are
of
the
age
they
could
contract
the
disease,
given
their
health
concerns,
I
don't
want
to
bring
it
into
my
home.
D
My
son
share
it
with
us
last
week
that
he
was
not
coming
to
visit
us
because
he
was
in
a
restaurant,
where
someone
said
that
they
had
come
in
contact
with
the
disease.
He
quarantined
himself
I,
respect
that
and
that's
what
we
should
all
do
when
you
feel
when
you
know
that
someone
in
the
area
has
come
in
contact
the
disease,
quarantine
yourself
for
15
days
and
people
are
not
doing
that.
They're
ready
to
spread
and
I
know
that
some
do
not
have
symptoms.
D
A
C
C
A
Diggs
I
was
saying:
I
may
I
may
refer
to
mr.
Beaton
Bo,
but
I'm
a
tyrant.
It
Melony
our
next
councilmember
any
one
of
our
council
members
can
ask
the
city
manager
to
bring
forward
an
ordinance.
It's
not
just
the
mayor,
so
any
any
one
of
us
could
if
we
wanted
to
that
would
be
a
week
from
Monday.
So
there's
certainly
that
opportunity,
I,
think
the
mayor
or
humming
or
special
meeting
for.
I
We
recommend
a
time
frame
if
we
come
together
as
a
council,
whether
it's
in
a
month-
and
we
see
there-
is
absolutely
no
improvement
because
I
mean
it's
visible.
I
mean
I
think
this
is
something
that
we
can
pretty
much
visibly
attest
and
look
at
numbers,
whether
it's
maybe
a
30
days,
I,
don't
know
and
revisit
I
think
that
would
be
a
fair
approach.
I,
don't
know
if
requesting
an
ordinance
within
the
next
week
is
appropriate.
I
think
the
numbers
are
cus.
We're.
C
A
E
Support
what
you're
saying
because
I
don't
think
we
have
the
luxury
of
time,
I
mean
if
you
read
the
paper,
dr.
pouchy
says
we're
going
the
wrong
direction.
The
thing
to
do
is
to
wear
a
mask
and
ain't
Stewart
correct
me.
If
I'm
wrong,
even
with
this
resolution,
you
can't
instruct
your
people
today
that
the
city
boys,
don't
have
to
wear
a
man
well.
G
E
I
D
D
A
D
D
G
Ordinance
for
consideration,
it
would
be
I
would
and
I'll
talk
to
the
city
attorney,
but
right
now,
I
think
the
best
approach
would
be
an
emergency
ordinance
which
has
an
effect
of
61
days.
Okay,
passed
before
for
electronic
meetings
and
such
for
council
contemplation
and
comment
from
the
public.
Thank.
A
G
D
D
I
E
A
I
I
think
it
needs
to
be
a
valid
source
of
this
conversation
and
we
need
his
input
and
we
need
to
figure
out
how,
if
we
go
to
an
ordinance
how
we're
going
to
if
we're
going
to
mandate
it,
how
are
we
gonna
control
it
who's
going
to
be
in
charge
of
taking
the
911
calls
who's
going
to.
We
need
to
talk
to
chief.
C
I
think
he
has
a
representative
here
today
that
I
spoke
with
the
chief,
because
I
was
concerned
about
his
public
safety
officers
not
wearing
masks
when
they
arrest
people,
because
you
don't
know
what
these
people
got.
When
you
arrest
them,
I
mean
people
could
have
it
have
no
symptoms,
so
they're
putting
themselves
at
risk.
So
I
encourage
all
the
law-enforcement
officers
when
they
go
out
to
wear
mass
one.
D
A
G
F
Underscore
what
Councilwoman
Gregory
said,
I
really
think
that
chief
needs
to
be
have
input.
I
read
in
a
paper
about
in
California,
of
course,
we're
not
California
and
I.
Don't
think
we
can.
We
don't
have
that
kind
of
problem
that
went.
They
have
they're
talking
about
strike
groups
to
go
out
and
enforce
this
kind
of
thing.
A
A
F
A
I
would
say:
I
think
there's
been
conversation
with
chief
continuously
on
this
already
a
dis
anticipating,
but
we
did
a
reservation
resolution
which
I
think
takes
a
positive
step.
I
think
we're
going
to
start
a
program
immediately
with
with
educating
educating
our
citizens,
they
even
beyond
with
with
our
CDC
guidelines
and
other
things
and
I,
do
think
social
distancing
and
those
washing
your
hands.
I
mean
we
take
for
granted.
A
I
think
mask
certainly
not,
and
we've
heard
from
a
lot
I
had
no
idea
how
many
small
businesses
we
would
hear
from
over
bringing
this
up
and
I
think
that's
been
good,
because
it
really
has
given
an
opportunity
for
for
a
lot
of
our
businesses
to
voice
their
desire
to
be
able
to
regulate
and
so
and
I'll,
say.
Cuz.
We've
had
a
conversation
with
chief
about
this.
A
A
But
it
helps
a
lot
of
those
businesses
I
understand
where
they
are
and
I
think
we
all
have
a
voice,
a
lot
of
concern
for
it
today.
I
think
we
should
just
close
by
saying
we
hope
our
citizens,
who
watch
and
see
this
and
maybe
read
about
in
the
paper.
If
this
gets
in
please
be
safe
over
the
fourth
of
July
be
smart.
