Councilmember Randle commended Bonnie and Linda on a great job. He does not know if 1 apartment managers would be willing to give out the names of new residents but they could 2 assist with the distribution of information. 3 4 Mayor Stille suggested individual house rentals could be contacted by using the rental permits 5 issued by the City. Mayor Stille asked how often the distribution is done. Ms. Brever stated the 6 30 that will be distributed next week will cover January – March. Ms. Brever stated they try to 7 distribute the information each quarter. 8 9 Councilmember Webster thanked Ms. Brever and Ms. Foster for their efforts on this and for 10 leading the Kiwanis organization. 11 12 III. CONSENT AGENDA. 13 14 A. Approve May 25, 2021, Council meeting minutes. 15 B. Licenses and permits. 16 C. Claims. 17 18 Motion by Councilmember Webster, seconded by Councilmember Jenson, to approve the 19 Consent Agenda items. 20 21 Councilmember Walker stated at the last meeting, he and the Mayor made comments about 22 COVID and the low infection rate that is seen now. He wanted to clarify the comments he made 23 about the various vaccines and issues of infection about COVID. He strongly recommends that 24 St. Anthony Villagers get the vaccines that are available as they are very effective. The current 25 infection rate is lower than it was in March 2020. Clearly the numbers speak for themselves and 26 this is a result of the vaccine. His comments did not reflect the comments he made about 27 infection for fully vaccinated people. At the last meeting, Councilmembers made the comment 28 that what the CDC reports, the approved vaccines Moderna, Pfizer and J&J prevent sickness and 29 destroy and shorten the viability of the Corona viral particles that may exist and harbor in fully 30 vaccinated people. Fully vaccinated people can still carry the virus, and thus potentially infect 31 others but the chances of this happening is very low as the viral particles do not last very long in 32 fully vaccinated people. The possibility is there particularly for non-vaccinated people who are 33 immune compromised. Those that are fully vaccinated should not be cavalier about the vaccine, 34 while the possibility of infection is low, the virus can be transferred to others for brief periods of 35 time depending on the duration of the exposure, the immune system and how much the virus is 36 within a given community. He stated we do well to respect the virus given the CDC guidelines 37 and this is a clarification of what was said at the last meeting. The minutes do not need to be 38 revised as this is just a clarification of what Councilmember Walker wanted to say. 39 40 Motion carried 5-0. 41 42 IV. PUBLIC HEARING - NONE. 43 44 V. REPORTS FROM COMMISSION AND STAFF – NONE. 45 46 12
