Prairie Village says new city mask mandates ‘not on the table’ but wants county to act

Prairie Village will not reimpose a citywide mask order, but city leaders are drafting a letter to send to the Johnson County Board of County Commissioners to urge proactive mitigation against renewed spread of COVID-19. Prairie Village was the first Johnson County city with a mask mandate this fall, but that order expired on Oct. 31. At a Monday meeting of the city council’s committee of the whole, several councilmembers said they were against the idea of bringing back a citywide mask mandate. Instead, a majority of the city council agreed that COVID-19 mitigation measures like a mask order should be coming from the county level.
