The Fresno City Council will vote on a resolution requiring city employees to wear face coverings while at work Thursday afternoon.
Included in the resolution is language directed at councilmember Garry Bredefeld: “For willful and persistent violations by a Councilmember, that Councilmember shall forfeit the opportunity to serve on any Council committee or leadership position.”
Item Added to Agenda Wednesday
Fresno City Council Member Miguel Arias filed the item for today’s meeting Wednesday afternoon.
Bredefeld said this is a direct shot at him.
“No matter what Arias does in terms of his bullying tactics, it might have worked with some people. (It) will never work with me. Ever,” Bredefeld said at a Thursday morning news conference. “So with that, I hope the council does the right thing (and) rejects this absolutely idiotic stupid proposal.”
Bredefeld Won’t Wear Mask
“I support washing your hands, I support the distancing, but I’m not going to wear a mask, I don’t feel it’s important for me to do it,” Bredefeld said. “I don’t feel comfortable wearing the mask. I don’t want to breathe in my own carbon dioxide, but I also respect people who want to wear a mask.”
“He (Miguel Arias) wants to remove me from committee assignments and leadership positions if I don’t adhere to his edict to wear a mask.”
Resolution Would Apply to All City Employees
If the council adopts the order, it would apply to all city employees.
The proposal states: “Emergency order No. 2020-18 shall be applicable to all City Departments and officials, including the Mayor, Manager, Councilmembers, Council Offices, City Clerk’s Office, and City Attorney’s Office. For officials and employees other than Councilmembers, the failure to comply with the order may result in discipline, similar to violations of other City policies.”
