COMMUNITY NEWS JULY 2020
News from Glendale Mayor Bryan Kennedy
Greetings, Glendale residents and businesses:

The Glendale Common Council passed a resolution mandating face masks for indoor public/private commercial spaces. The resolution was carefully written to provide support for our 600+ commercial venues that proudly call Glendale “home.” We strongly encourage every business to require masks for their staff, customers and patrons. However, each individual business has the flexibility to choose their own MASK POLICY. The City of Glendale will support your requirements.

We trust our Glendale business owners. You ultimately want to keep your doors open while protecting your employees and customers. If you implement a mask policy and someone refuses to abide by the rule, Glendale PD will assist you in educating and/or removing that person from the premises.

I have heard from many residents and businesses regarding the resolution. Most have appreciated that we give businesses flexibility, and many businesses have indicated that they want to require masks to protect their employees and customers. Glendale’s resolution makes it easier for you to do that and to have city support. As with any major decision, the challenge for our council has been... safeguarding public health while protecting individual human rights.  

We are encouraging everyone to continue to patronize Glendale's businesses...while following each business's designated mask policy.

In Community,
Bryan Kennedy, Ph.D.
Mayor, City of Glendale
