JONES <br />Re: A RESOLUTION OF THE SOUTH BEND COMMON COUNCIL <br />SUPPORTING THE MEDICAL EDUCATION FOUNDATION'S <br />"OPEN LETTER TO OUR COMMUNITY BUSINESS AND <br />POLITICAL LEADERS" <br />Dear Council Members: <br />As you are all aware, COVID-19 cases continue to rise in our area at an alarming rate. The Medical Education Foundation has issued an open letter to Community and Political Leaders urging support for the science based wearing of masks, social distancing, and regular hand washing, not only to <br />protect each individual, but also for the protection of the most vulnerable residents, especially those with underlying health conditions. The letter calls for passing and enforcement of ordinances that support counties' public <br />health departments as they try to balance economic and community health <br />interests. Such action would be within the jurisdiction of St. Joseph County <br />authorities. <br />This resolution establishes the South Bend Common Council's support for the Medical Education Foundation's efforts. The health and economic well <br />being of our residents is at stake. <br />I ask that this resolution be assigned to a Committee and placed on the Common Council's agenda for its November 9, 2020 meeting. <br />Thank you for your consideration. <br />Sincerely yours, <br />Sharon L. McBride, South Bend Common Council, Third District <br />Bill No. 20-37
