We are still in the midst of a global pandemic. Our numbers of positive cases have declined since the mask mandate. We urge City Officials to continue this mandate to help protect our citizens, keep businesses open, and keep schools in person. 

Removing the mask mandate could put our city in a position again where our hospitals could be overwhelmed, small businesses could close, and schools could have to go virtual again.

This is bigger than just one person. We have to work together to protect out most vulnerable citizens. If wearing masks while in public could help save one life, it is the least that we can do. 

Masks alone are not enough. We have to continue to be diligent with social distancing, hand washing,  and quarantining after exposure. We all hope that if we continue these efforts, we can start to see our lives and city return to normal. 

Please join me by signing this petition, which will be delivered to our city council members prior to their vote on February 9th.
