he City of Glendale continues to take an aggressive approach to the fight against COVID-19 by enacting strict measures for the use of facial coverings. On Tuesday, July 21, 2020, the Glendale City Council affirmed the imposition of fines for those who do not comply with the Public Order to wear a face covering. Previously, the City modified its Face Covering Order originally issued on April 10, 2020 to become one of the first municipalities in the region to require that all persons wear face coverings when leaving their places of residence, employment, or otherwise out in public for essential activities. Under the Order, businesses can refuse service to any person who does not wear a face covering or fails to comply with social distancing. Businesses must also take all reasonable steps to ensure those in line or entering their business wear face coverings and comply with physical distancing requirements. The Order also authorizes administrative citations for failing to wear face coverings, for individuals, as $400 for a first violation, $1,000 for a second violation, and $2,000 for a third violation. For businesses, the fines associated with the administrative citation are the same. To prevent the spread of COVID-19, individuals in Glendale must wear a Face Covering when outside their household, living unit, or other place they reside at all times, except as follow: • You are alone or with household members only
