Councilmember Musgrove stated that she would prefer one letter as it would cause additional staff <br />time and cost to complete a separate mailing. <br /> <br />Councilmember Menth asked and received confirmation that the City’s utility billing will be <br />sending the mailing. He believed it would then be easy to differentiate between residential and <br />commercial customers. <br /> <br />Finance Director Lund stated that could be a possibility but noted that she would need to verify <br />whether the customers that receive their bill electronically could be differentiated. <br /> <br />Councilmember Menth stated that he likes the idea of keeping it simple and creating one residential <br />and one commercial letter. <br /> <br />Finance Director Lund confirmed the consensus of the Council to create one residential letter and <br />one commercial letter. She stated that she will follow up to determine how the determination could <br />be made on who receives which letter. <br /> <br />Councilmember Specht suggested using additional communication methods such as the City <br />website and social media. He stated that perhaps all the information could be placed on the website <br />and social media for those that would be interested in both residential and commercial rates. <br /> <br />Finance Director Lund confirmed the consensus of the Council to send the letter separately if the <br />differentiation cannot be made through the utility billing. <br /> <br />2.02: Discussion Regarding Executive Order 20-81 – Face Mask Mandate <br /> <br />City Administrator Ulrich reviewed the staff report. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove stated that she appreciates the process of members of the Commission <br />coming to staff to ask for clarification. She stated that she would have hoped that the matter would <br />have come to the Council before going to outside sources for information. She stated that she <br />appreciated Planning Commission Chairperson Bauer reaching out to her through email. She <br />noted that the Council is very receptive. She asked if paragraph 10C can be interpreted in more <br />than one way. <br /> <br />City Attorney Langel replied that it probably could be interpreted in more than one way because <br />it is a broad statement but believed that the intent is clear. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove stated that she believed that the decision of the Council was that once <br />seated and socially distanced, the members of the Council would not be required to wear masks as <br />that would comply with the rules and would also ensure that members of the public could clearly <br />hear the words of the Councilmembers. <br /> <br />Councilmember Riley stated that he believes this is a solution looking for a problem. He stated <br />that modifications have been made to the meetings and safety protocols have been implemented, <br />therefore he did not find a reason to change things further. He stated that emails do not take the <br />City Council Work Session / September 22, 2020 <br />Page 3 of 9 <br /> <br />
