In the meeting, the Jackson County Legislature voted 5-4 to not implement a new mandate.
Still, the Blue Springs City Council said it wanted to make its position clear on any future mask mandates.
“Even though the Jackson County Legislature did not pass the mask mandate on today’s County agenda, the Blue Springs City Council felt it was important to pass this resolution in order to reiterate our position that we are opposed to any further mask mandates on Blue Springs residents and businesses,” Kent Edmondson, council member and mayor pro tem of Blue Springs said.
