DUNCAN â Tempers ran high at Thursdayâs special meeting of the Duncan City Council, but in the end, Mayor Ritchie Dennington says there may be a resolution coming soon.
Duncan City Council held a special meeting Thursday to discuss the definitions of a mask ordinance resolution. The council also allowed the public to speak and voice their concerns for and against a potential mask mandate.
The small city council chamber was packed with citizens, about half of whom were wearing a mask, seemingly eager to express their thoughts and concerns about a potential mandate.
Various doctors expressed the need for a mask mandate and several citizens came forward as well to tell the council their views on a possible mandate. The real debate, however, occurred away from the speaker podium with attendees arguing with each other from across the room and shouting accusations at each other.
