The repeal of the mask mandate passed 4-3, with Council Members Grif Chalfant, Andy Morris, Joseph Goldstein and Johnny Walker in favor, and the other three Council Members — Cheryl Richardson, Michelle Cooper Kelly and Reggie Copeland — opposed. The repeal also calls for city staff to phase into a "normal" workplace environment at the discretion of the city manager, and for the removal of signs "of restrictive mask nature" from the buildings.
