No decision made on Cape Coral mask mandate, plan to vote Monday

After a long and heated meeting Thursday, the decision on a mask mandate in Cape Coral will have to wait.

Cape Coral leaders held a special meeting Thursday to discuss implementing a mask mandate, however, a decision was not made. Two of the councilmembers left the meeting early and they did not have enough members there to properly vote. In addition, there is no quorum since there were not enough members present, making the entire meeting invalid.

They say they will reconvene on Monday at 4:30 p.m. to hear more public comment before taking a vote.
