Agenda Item Summary:
The emergency ordinance adopted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic ordered certain businesses where people gather for discretionary socializing and entertainment to close or alter their operations by ceasing to serve patrons for on-site consumption of food and beverages. This order is set to expire on April 22nd. The ordinance gives the Council the ability to extend this closure for an additional period of time.

If you take no action, the order will automatically expire on April 22nd.
