MOTION BY ALDERMAN TENCZA TO FURTHER AMEND O-20-018 TO NOT BE REQUIRED TO SHOW
MEDICAL PROOF TO NOT WEAR A MASK
ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Schmidt
Madam President. Jan.

Alderman Schmidt.
Alderman Schmidt
Item #7 says that “a face covering is not required to be worn by any person if said person can show a
medical professional has advised that wearing a face covering may pose a risk to said person for health
reasons”. Is that what you wanted to change Alderman Tencza?
Alderman Tencza
Yes just the language that they have to have some documentation on them in order to justify not wearing a
mask. | think that may be difficult and onerous for some people. Again, this was consistent with what the
Massachusetts Executive Order says that was a good idea and so | am making the suggestion.
President Wilshire
OK, you have heard the amendment.
Attorney Bolton
President Wilshire, Steve Bolton. May | say something?
President Wilshire
Attorney Bolton.
