This special meeting is being held to discuss the merits of a mask mandate in Cedar Falls; due to the public health concerns surrounding this topic, I have determined that a special meeting is appropriate, rather than waiting until the next regular council meeting on September 8th. No other topics will be discussed, nor will a public forum be held.
The meeting will start promptly at 5:30pm, and is slated for 75 minutes. The public is invited to attend via the links below, and to participate in the public comments section prior to final council deliberation and vote.

Roll Call
New Business
1. Resolution adopting a face mask mandate for the City of Cedar Falls. This matter has been brought before the City Council as a discussion topic, partly due to Waterloo's recent adoption of a mask mandate for that city. The Cedar Falls City Council will have an opportunity to review Waterloo's resolution, hear from the public on this topic, engage with the Black Hawk County Public Health Director, and make a determination on next steps (approve, amend, table, or reject).
