Alderman Caron
Yes, thank you. Aquick question to Attorney Bolton, if we don’t approve this amendment it doesn’t change
the fact that we still have this mask ordinance, am | correct.
Attorney Bolton
You are correct, it does not affect the current requirements that you adopted by Ordinance 20-018.
Alderman Caron
Ok thank you.
President Wilshire
Alderman Lopez?
Alderman Lopez
| have a question to Attorney Bolton as well just because one of the communications we had some
misinterpretation of it | think so | just wanted to clarify. Is the Ordinance requiring any businesses to block
people from entering their business?
Attorney Bolton
No, the word “block” is not contained in the Ordinance.
Alderman Lopez
So the intention is that if somebody were not to serve somebody coming in the business and that person
refused to leave, they would then call the Police and let the Police handle it like they would any other
situation where someone was not following their rules.
Attorney Bolton
It is exactly the same thing as if someone walks into a restaurant or a grocery store without wearing shoes.
It is the exact same thing.
Alderman Lopez
Thank you.
President Wilshire
You're welcome. Anyone else? Alderman Lu?
Alderwoman Lu
Thank you. Just two points, | wanted to clarify, there’s a little more to it than just the requirement for a note
if you are not going to wear a mask. Isn’t there also the change that proprietors or managers are ordained
to not permit or not transact, sorry it’s late, to do the transaction with someone that does not wear a mask?
Attorney Bolton
When | describe Section 17, which is the amendment that was made, that just concerned the document
