Foia

Mask Ordinance Complaints Request

I sent a FOIA request to inquire about mask ordinance complaints and associated enforcement

Notes

  • There are only 13 complaints listed in the FOIA request
    • I made a complaint about Lisa Gregory not wearing a mask on August 30th. It was not in the original report, but I've been promised an amended report with that corrected.
  • Each complaint's notes merely list that the "Community Liaison Officer contacted business"

My Request

Hi,

I would like:

  1. To know when the local mask mandate ordinance went back into effect (the one that has fines for not wearing a mask or for businesses not enforcing masking indoors)
  2. A list of all complaints filed since the mask ordinance went back into effect (or since July 1st 2021 if you need a date from me)
  3. A list of all enforcements efforts of the mask mandate ordinance & their outcomes during the same time frame as #2

Thanks! -- Reed

Thank you Kim.

I noticed the complaint I made regarding Lisa Gregory, The City, and the Civic Center is not listed in the complaints pdf file. Do you know why that is? Is there a policy or procedure that omits certain complaints from being recorded?
