This is a remote assignment. This is a special meeting of City Council to consider a resolution submitted by a group of alders who oppose the city employee vaccine mandate. They seek to recognize natural immunity (determined by a test that identifies the presence of COVID-19 antibodies) as an alternative to reporting vaccination status.
