APPROVED: The City Attorney is directed to advise Council on potential State restrictions on the City’s implementation of COVID vaccine mandates and databases of vaccine compliance for City employees. This resolution is a response to language in State Senate Bill 82 that withholds State funding to any “department, agency, board, commission, or public officer” that requires vaccination or proof of vaccination as a condition of employment.
