Michael,
If the city council intends to move forward with another reading on a gas ban I can assure you there
will be no social distancing in place. I strongly urge the city council to kick this can down the road to
adhere to public health safety measures. Please don't force my hand in bussing in hundreds and
hundreds of pissed off people potentially adding to this pandemic.
We will pull permits and close streets and have a massive protest on April 7th. Now is not the time to
do this. Please tell mayor harmon and the rest of the council for the sake of people's health, that their
efforts are better focused on how to better deal with this pandemic than to stir up all the emotions of
people losing their jobs along with this disease. Let's be smart about this
Let me know how you'd like to proceed.
-Eric

Hello Mr. Hofmann,
As of today we have closed all City facilities and will need to conduct all of our meetings going forward over the phone.
However, City Council meetings are moving forward with social distancing measures in place. I would suggest that we
keep our meeting scheduled for Friday and use the time to discuss how we can best accommodate your input, while also
keeping everyone safe.
This is intended to be an open conversation to develop an understanding of the logistics associated with a lot of public
testimony during a time when we are supposed to keep our distance from one another. It is difficult to predict what our
environment will be like come April 7, but we are looking towards technology and other methods to accommodate those
who want to provide testimony to the City Council on their agenda items.
I’ll have a conference call line for you for Friday’s meeting shortly. Thank you for your consideration. -Michael

good morning Chris,
We could potentially make that time work; however something to flag for you and your team. With the
potential threat of COVID-19, does the city council really still want to proceed with their April 7th
reading of negatively impacting my Union members?
If the answer is yes, then we will be there at 10:00am. Again, if the council wants to continue in this
direction, I must warn them that the UWUA will have no choice but to have an overwhelming
presence at the city council meeting on April 7th. A presence that will make the last one seem
insignificant.
Please let me know how the council would like to proceed.
Thank you,
Eric Hofmann
