profits sufficiently enough to pay fines should they be caught three times, as the nuisance chapter allows for three strikes prior to penalty. Safety forces and law provided assurances that the City has additional enforcement authority not written into this legislation. For example, Chief Dunphy stated that there are penalties for failing to cooperate with a direct order of the fire marshal. He explained the department's experiences dispersing crowds at bars by orders music stopped and drinks not to be served. Acting Chief Wilkins stated that since July 2, 2020 the City has done about 16 bar checks per weekend using police body cams and that most establishments have been very receptive. Director Corrigan added that the advantage of using the nuisance chapter is that the process is already established and proven effective, including a built-in appeals process. Councilmember Litten suggested that the negative media attention may be more of an incentive to establishments than any fine, although there was some concern among council that the establishment most resistant to these public safety measures may not see the attention as negative. Tom Fraiser of First Federal of Lakewood expressed support for legislation and enforcement of masks and social distancing. He discussed how he has had 150 employees working from home since March and that employees would feel more comfortable returning to the office knowing that Lakewood is prioritizing safety. Ian Andrews of Lakewood Alive and Patty Ryan of Lakewood Chamber thanked the committee and the administration for listening to and supporting small businesses, most of whom are trying to be safe and want to see universal compliance. The Committee and the Mayor discussed the importance of disseminating the information regarding the legislation, assuming it passes. The Mayor is planning a press release, social media posts, and a virtual community conversation hosted by Lakewood Alive for this Thursday at 6:30pm. She invited all councilmembers to help spread the word within their networks as well. A motion was made and seconded to recommend the substitute version of Resolution 2020-45 for adoption. During the discussion, Councilmember Bullock stated his intention to make a motion at the regular council meeting to amend Section 4 to include language allowing physical barriers, as effectively utilized by some local establishments to be an appropriate alternative to distance. I believe Director Corrigan has included that proposed language in the most recent version emailed to council for tonight's regular council meeting. Though I expressed some lingering doubt over the efficacy of the enforcement I joined councilmembers Litten and Rader in a unanimous vote to recommend the substitute version for adoption. In the interest of time, Councilmember Litten did not address the COVID-19 situation briefing agenda item but advised the committee to refer to the attachments on the docket.
