Notes

The same proclamation sequence carried Pima County's face-covering mandate (Resolution 2020-49, June 19, 2020; Resolution 2020-96, Dec. 4, 2020; Ex. MET-PHX-007) and, in December 2020, the county curfew that the Pima County Superior Court enjoined in January 2021 (Next Level Arcade Tucson, LLC v. Pima County). Tucson applied the May 13, 2020 county regulations within the City by the Mayor's May 15, 2020 proclamation (Ex. MET-PHX-021).
