The council rescinded a previous motioned that prevented them taking any future action. Written By: Rebecca C. Mariscal | 10:38 am, Feb. 16, 2021 × HUDSON -- The council opened up its options for future COVID-19 measures by rescinding a September 2020 decision that denied establishing an emergency order and putting citywide preventions in place. The move does not adopt any measures, but clears the deck, City Attorney Catherine Munkittrick said. The previous decision blocked the council from any future action on the topic, and rescinding it now allows members to act if the council so chooses. “It just neutralizes the topic,” Munkittrick said. Council member Paul Deziel requested the action after the state mask mandate was first revoked and then reinstituted. As a public official, he said, he felt uncomfortable with the situation.
