Item No. 5.3.
Use of Face Masks for Coronavirus Protection
Sponsor:Brian Piscacek, Assistant to the City Manager
Reviewed By CBC:City Council
Agenda Caption:Presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding the use of face masks for
Coronavirus protection.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
Good Governance
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends Council receive the presentation and provide direction as
desired.
Summary: On June 16, 2020, the mayors of nine of Texas’ largest cities requested that Governor
Abbott allow local governments the authority to require the use of face masks in public. Governor
Abbott’s Executive Order GA-26, issued June 3, 2020, provided that “individuals are encouraged to
wear appropriate face coverings, but no jurisdiction can impose a civil or criminal penalty for failure to
wear a face covering.”
However, Governor Abbott clarified the order on June 17, 2020, adding that while individual liberty
may not be infringed, local governments can require stores and businesses to require masks. In
response, judges in Bexar, Hidalgo, and Cameron counties, along with the mayor of the City of
Austin, have issued orders that require commercial entities to implement a policy that calls for
employees and visitors to wear face coverings when in close proximity to others. Fines may be
issued to a business not complying with the order.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends wearing cloth face
coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain,
especially in areas of significant community-based transmission. In addition, people should continue
to observe social distancing, frequent handwashing, and self-isolation when sick.
