City Board of Health
Resolution 173-20 was passed on June 24, 2020 to re-establish a City Board of Health to invest the board with such powers and impose upon it such duties as shall be necessary to secure the city and its inhabitants from the evils of contagious, malignant, and infectious diseases.
A City Board of Health is empowered to adopt such rules and regulations, not inconsistent with the public health laws of this state nor with the orders and rules of the State Board of Health; and the significant rise in COVID-19 cases justifies the reinstitution of the City Board of Health and the re-establishment of the position of City Health Officer to assist the City with its response to the pandemic.
