I urge the city council to work with the county commission and the GC Health Dept to develop a policy to mandate
the wearing of masks in businesses ( both staff and customers). I find the apparent dependence on social-media
jawboning and posters to be… well, sad. We KNOW there’s only one way to stop/slow the spread. That is for
people to wear masks, keep social distance, avoid touching surfaces and wash hands. “Encouragement” isn’t going
to do it.
The number of cases is skyrocketing in Montana. Please don’t wait for more people to die before you take the
necessary action.
On another subject, which I have discussed with Parks Dept personnel and the Mayor, is the sad condition of our
parks. The bathrooms were closed for budget reasons, I was told, and all that is available is inadequate, poorly
maintained porta-potties.
Please find the money and direct the Parks Dept to open, and maintain the bathrooms, and to turn on the water
faucets as well. Now that they’re open, the parks are crowded with people and we need better facilities (especially
children and older people)
Thanks,
Emily Sieger
