The Garden City Commission considered a petition put forth by Lindsay Byrnes to implement a citywide mask mandate at Tuesday’s regular board meeting. No action was taken at the meeting. However, the commission will hold a special session at 10 a.m. Nov. 11 to consider putting an ordinance in place requiring the wearing of masks. Byrnes is the Finney County medical director, but said she put forth the petition neither as an employee of the county health department nor is she speaking on behalf of the county. She did so as a physician and someone who’s invested in the community.

Bryce Garner, 26, will be sworn in Jan. 13, 2021, as the youngest Stafford County commissioner on record when he assumes office representing District 3 following the 2020 general election. “I’ll be wearing a smile, that’s for sure,” Garner said. “It’s not that I wanted to set a record, but I am pleased that my generation will have a voice in decisions that will impact their futures. “I’m a fifth-generation Stafford County resident and that makes me dedicated to wanting to assure a good future for all Stafford County residents.” With family ties that trace back nearly a century, Garner is following in the footsteps of his great-grandfather Victor “Vic” Garner, who served as 3rd District county commissioner from 1969-1976.
