The Mitchell City Council will consider rescinding or extending the citywide mask mandate on Tuesday, which could determine the fate of the ordinance that's been in place for two months.
If the council opts out of rescinding or extending the mask ordinance during the 6 p.m. Tuesday meeting, the mandate will automatically expire on Jan. 27, marking the 60-day period set by the council. In recognition of Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday, the council will meet Tuesday at City Hall.
