Garden City’s face covering ordinance has been extended.
The Garden City Commission approved a 30-day extension to its face covering ordinance at its regular commission meeting Tuesday.
The extension was approved by a 3-2 vote, with Commissioners Manny Ortiz and Roy Cessna dissenting.
Originally, the ordinance approved at the city’s Nov. 17 regular meeting was designed to expire after 30 days unless extended by a majority vote of the commission prior to its expiration.
The commission will review the ordinance again at its Jan. 5 regular meeting.
Callie Dyer, executive director of LiveWell Finney County and a member of the city’s Community Health Advisory Board spoke on behalf of CHAB in favor of the ordinance’s extension.
