COMMISSION DISCUSSION

During Thursday’s meeting, Perry said the proposed ordinance was less intrusive means address face coverings and she noted the Bradenton ordinance has not been challenged in court.

Perry said the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office and local law enforcement agencies are responsible for enforcing the county resolution.

“The Bradenton ordinance takes that onus off the police officer and places it on those who are engaging in business. They need to be the ones who are policing the masks. It’s a bit of a friendlier approach towards the mask policy, as opposed to the Manatee County mandate,” she said.

“It’s mandating that businesses place mask notices on all of their locations, but it allows the business owner to decide whether or not they want to make that a mandate of their store or not,” Perry clarified in response to a question posed during public input.

Vosburgh referenced the 4-1 commission consensus reached during the commission’s emergency meeting on July 28. With Cole in opposition, the majority consensus reached that day was to not take any action and remain under the umbrella of the county resolution.

“Frankly, I was very surprised we put this on the agenda because we just voted on this a week ago. With what’s going on in Bradenton Beach, I reluctantly have to vote again to go along with the county,” Vosburgh said.

Spooner asked Lt. John Cosby if the city’s police officers had encountered any problems or confrontations since the county resolution took effect.

“No, we haven’t had any reported problems up to this point,” Cosby replied.

“I’d like to just stay in line with the county if there hasn’t been any problems with enforcement,” Spooner said. “I don’t want to have the businesses and their employees get in confrontations with people. Right now, it’s real easy for the employees to say, ‘It’s the law,’ and that kind of ends any confrontation.”

Chappie then made a motion to adopt the proposed city ordinance. After the tie vote occurred, Perry said the commission could continue the matter until next week, when Cole would be present to serve as the tie-breaker. Chappie made that motion and Maro seconded it, but Vosburgh and Spooner opposed the continuation and the motion failed as the result of another 2-2 vote.
