WHEREAS, Parkinson’s disease is a chronic, progressive, neurological disease and is
the second most common neurodegenerative disease in the United States; and
WHEREAS, Parkinson’s disease is estimated to affect approximately one million
people in the United States and that the prevalence of this disease is expected to rise to 1.2
million people by 2030; and
WHEREAS, Parkinson’s disease is the 14th leading cause of death in the United
States according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; and
WHEREAS, the combined direct and indirect cost of Parkinson’s, including treatment,
social security payments and lost income, is estimated to be nearly $52 billion per year in the
United States alone; and
WHEREAS, medications cost an average of $2,500 per person each year and
therapeutic surgery can cost up to $100,000 per person; and
WHEREAS, approximately 163,00 of the 300,000 Americans with Parkinson’s who
visit a hospital each year experience unnecessary complications due to missed, omitted,
delayed or substituted medications; and
WHEREAS, research suggests that the cause of Parkinson’s disease is a combination
of genetic and environmental factors, but the exact cause and progression of the disease is
still unknown; and
WHEREAS, there is no objective test or useful biomarker for Parkinson’s disease,
neither is there a cure, nor is there a drug capable of slowing or halting the progression of the
disease; and
WHEREAS, the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease vary from person to person and can
include tremors; slowness of movement and rigidity; difficulty with balance, swallowing,

the City of Golden Valley to be affixed this 21st day of April, 2020.
Shepard M. Harris, Mayor
REGULAR MEETING MINUTES
The meeting began at 6:30 pm in the Council Conference Room.
Present: Mayor Harris and Council Members; Rosenquist, Fonnest, Sanberg and Harris.
Staff present: City Manager Cruikshank, City Attorney Cisneros, Parks and Recreation Director
Birno, and Park Maintenance Supervisor Lundstrom.
1. Medley Park Off-Leash Pet Exercise Area and Community Garden Proposal
Parks and Recreation Director Birno presented the staff report which included results from the
2016 community survey. The key takeaways were recreation amenities requests to be included in
park planning. The two amenities that topped the request list were a community garden and an
off-leash pet exercise area. Funding was allocated by City staff in the 2019 and 2020 Park Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP) budget. The Open Space and Recreation Commission (OSRC) has held a
public input session where resident comments were taken and tabulated into a community input
report. The OSRC provided the Council with a unanimous recommendation not to add and off-leash
pet exercise area to Medley Park and not to reconstruct tennis courts due to poor soil conditions
The Council discussed the condition of the soil that is under the asphalt pads and the possibility to
utilize raised containers that would aid in the aesthetic of the garden area as well as provide ADA
compliance to allow people with disabilities to access the garden with ease. The Council also
discussed potential tree removal, landscape restoration and sustainability in the Medley Park area.
The Council thanked staff and OSRC members for their work
2. Control of Animal Ordinance Discussion
Police Chief Sturgis presented the staff report including recommendations to update the City’s
control of Animals ordinance which has not been updated in several decades. Staff recommends
updating City Code Sec. 6-33 since current language allows for any dog or animal to be “under
control and direction of the person having control or custody so as to be as effectively restrained
by command as by leash”. The proposed amendment would not allow for voice command as a form
of control and would require the use of a leash no longer than six feet.
The Council discussed the proposed language and communication methods as public information
campaigns outlining issues and to gather community input.
Communications department will include a brief survey in both online and printed versions
(available for six weeks). City website will also contain information as well as CityNews and social
media posts.

February 11, 2020 – 6:30 pm
The Council will take formal consideration of the proposed ordinance language changes tentatively
in April 2020.
3. MnDOT Highway 55 Trail Project — Winnetka Avenue North to Glenwood Avenue
Physical Development Director Nevinski presented the staff report. MnDot has plans to resurface
Hwy. 55 form General Mills Blvd to Hwy. 100 in 2021. There is a proposal to construct a multi-use
trail along the south side of Hwy. 55 between Winnetka Ave and Glenwood Ave. Mr. Nevinski
indicated that the trail is identified on the City’s bike and pedestrian plan and is the first section of
a larger route for the Hwy 55 corridor.
The Council discussed the construction of the trail and the City’s responsibility to maintain it as it
will become a Golden Valley trail. The Council also discussed impacts to trees in the right of way
during the eight-week estimated duration of the construction.
The Council also discussed public engagement and communications associated with the project.
The City will link information to the project through its website to MNDot’s. The City is estimating
to hold an open house this spring to gather community feedback (including residents along Hwy. 55
who may be impacted by the project).
4. Census Enumerator Access to Multi-Family Buildings
Planning Manager Zimmerman presented the staff report. The 2020 U.S. Census is scheduled to
begin April 1st. The City has coordinated efforts with other State offices to create awareness. Mr.
Zimmerman elaborated on the State’s demographer request to communities to take an additional
step by passing an ordinance to ensure census workers have access to multi-family buildings.
The Council discussed the implications of considering the passage of such ordinance. The Council
took into consideration the number of multi-family buildings currently in Golden Valley and the
implications of Census workers being able to access such units to conduct the Census. The Council
considered how a local ordinance can provide enforcement support while also clarifying
protections for renters (who historically have a lower response rate in U.S. Census)
5. Amendment to the Proclamation, Resolution and Letter of Support Policy
City Manager Cruikshank presented the staff report. City Council has expressed interest in
amending the Proclamation, Resolutions and Letter of Support Policy. City Manager Cruikshank
outlined the proposed changes presented in the attachments. The Council reviewed the proposed
changes on the Golden Valley Proclamations, Resolutions and Letters of Support Policy.
6. Council Review of Future Draft Agendas, City Council February 18, City Council March 4, and
Council/Manager March 10, 2020
No changes were submitted for future draft agendas.

4B. Public Hearing – Adopt Special Assessment for 2020 Pavement Management Area
Assistant City Engineer Kakach and Finance Director Virnig presented the staff report and answered
questions from Council. City Manager Cruikshank and City Attorney Cisneros answered questions
from Council.
Mayor Harris opened the public hearing.
Ms. Andrea Lentini, 2540 Zealand Avenue, said she was concerned about the assessment fees
amounts because of the COVID-19 Pandemic. She said she agreed the streets need repair, but asked
if the Council may consider different options for the project’s financial impact on residents. She said
some options to be consider may be to move the first assessment payment’s due date from
November 2020 to November 2021, leave the same due date but wave the first year of interest or
delay the project for one year. She said another option to be considered made be to narrow the
streets to 26 feet, even through some neighbors advocated for 28 feet, if it would save cost.
Ms. Maureen Ziezulewicz, 2380 Zealand Avenue, said her current assessment fee is $8,646 and
because of the change in the standard width from 26 feet to 28 feet that her assessment fee was
increased by $1,116. She said she knows the 28 feet standard was lobbied by a citizen group but she
felt it did not reflect the feelings of all 88 homes in the PMP area so she felt the matter should be
revisited so that all of the households could be involved. She said she rejects the current assessment
fee and asked the City to revisit it.
Ms. Cindy Dill, 2325 Zealand Avenue, said she thinks that the homeowners in the PMP area would
be concerned with the movement around the streets because she was not sure what the street
conditions would be like for bikes and stroller during the construction phase especially if the stay at
home order was still in place. She said the construction workers would need to understand that
there are many children in the area. She also said she agreed with the first caller that there should
be some adjusts to the fee payments during the pandemic.
Mayor Harris closed the public hearing.
There was much Council discussion regarding the special assessments for the 2020 Pavement
Management program including the financial impact on both the City and the residents due to the
COVID-19 Pandemic. The Council discussed postponing the PMP project until 2021 and the cost
involved with that.
Mayor Harris called for a motion to adopt and confirm the assessments for various public
improvements for streets in the 2020 Pavement Management Area. None of the Council Members
offered a motion, therefore the motion failed.

Announcements
Staff Member Santelices updated the task force that the three openings may be filled very soon, as
the Council is scheduled for interviews on February 11 and 18 to fill the spots. Santelices also shared
an opportunity for the Task Force to participate in a survey created by the City's HRA consultant. This
survey gives the members an opportunity to provide feedback on the strategic housing priorities for
the next 10-15 years. Staff will send the survey to the members directly.
Staff Santelices presented the task force with a sweet potato pie on behalf of Hennepin County
Commissioner Irene Fernando and her group members at the Sweet Potato Comfort Pie event on
January 19, 2020.
The Task Force then discussed the election of a Vice Chair. Member Alexander shared interest.
Member Johnson nominated Member Alexander, seconded by Member Paradise. No other
nominations, unanimous vote.
Open Forum Planning
The group discussed ways to get more people involved in the work of the task force, including letting
people know that they can get involved as much or as little as they wish, and do not need to make a
full commitment in order to give their feedback or input. Discussed including language on materials
like the agenda that says "all are welcome to attend."

The task force also discussed the traditional set-up of meetings and how interactions with the public
take place at meetings. Member Paradise suggested that the task force consider changing the
meeting format to give 10 minutes of each meeting to the public for an open forum. Members
agreed to continue balancing existing protocols with examining opportunities for new protocols.
The task force discussed the topics of the upcoming open forum and the format of the event. Chair
Allen recommended some way to update the community on the status of the task force’s work since
the last open forum. Vice Chair Alexander suggested creating a handout that addresses some of the
parking lot issues that were not addressed at the last open forum. Chair Allen asked the group if
there were other ways to be more engaging during the open forum. Suggestions included: using large
post-it notes; having the task force members as facilitators rather than participants; asking each table
to focus on different topics, then report out; providing the public a list of questions rather than the
suggestions that the task force has already prepared; allowing the public to self-select the topics they
feel more passionate about; hosting a parking lot again.
Staff Santelices asked if the group would like to conduct an online survey, and if so, what would they
like to include? Additionally, Santelices asked if the group would like to livestream the event. The
group discussed ways to include more people like livestreaming, Web Ex, etc. The group agreed that
this may eliminate some barriers to participation, but it is important to maintain strong facilitation so
that the individuals who are not physically in attendance can still fully participate. Vice Chair
Alexander volunteered to research and determine, with the subcommittee) the best option for the
open forum. Staff will put Vice Chair Alexander in touch with the communications team. Chair Allen
stated that surveys are a good way to allow participation for those who are not comfortable sharing
verbally.
Member Paradise shared an editorial from a newspaper about how people navigate tough
conversations on equity. The group agreed that this appeared to be a 201 forum opportunity, to
include building shared acumen. Chair Allen will also add to the presentation on Mar 11 a slide on the
role and responsibilities of Council, the Task Force, and community members in this important work.
Topic Discussion: Ensuring Equity in City Programming, Services, and Facilities
Members Paradise and Johnson recapped some of the topic conversation from the January meeting,
including a focus on the limited affordable and accessible community facilities. Member Alexander asked
if there were grants the City could apply for to pay for increased access of facilities. The group also
intends to discuss catering options and the use of preferred caterers at Brookview. The topic will be
discussed again at the March meeting.

Open Forum Planning
Chair Allen provided a brief overview of the October 2019 Open Forum, including the purpose, the
set-up, and the agenda. Member Allen read through the draft agenda for the March forum, including
reviewing summary topics, breakouts into table top discussions, and report-outs, with Task Force
members as table captains. The Task Force agreed that the topic of Diversifying Employee
Recruitment and Retention would be presented first, followed by the topic of Eliminating Barriers in
Programming and Facilities. The Task Force agreed that “services” would not be included in the topic
discussion at the forum because the group has not had enough time to adequately focus on the
topic.
The group discussed the option of using Facebook Live to stream the event or recording the event to
place on the website. The group agreed that Facebook Live would best allow people to participate
from a distance. Member Taylor-White volunteered to be the communications/Facebook Live liaison.
The City will promote the event on Facebook and the website. Additionally, the Task Force members
will be prompters and facilitators, but will refrain from participating in the group discussion.
Staff Santelices will look for signs for COVID-19 and hand sanitizer. Member Taylor-White offered to
bring some sanitizer as well. The group discussed the best options for refreshments and agreed that
single-serve items would be most appropriate. Additionally, the group agreed that food options
should be inclusive, with less sugar, and include some protein options.
The Task Force agreed that the full group should introduce themselves, including all participants, and
share their favorite place to go in Golden Valley.

3. E. Assigning General Fund Balance for COVID-19 Expenditures
Prepared By
Sue Virnig, Finance Director
Summary
The City of Golden Valley seeks to have a good balance in its General Fund in order to have sufficient
reserves for cash flow, projects, and unexpected shortfalls or emergencies. In December 2011, the City
established a formal policy that states the level of fund balance should be maintained at 60 percent of
adopted expenditures in the General Fund. Adequate reserves indicate fiscal prudence and help the
City maintain a high rating with bond-rating agencies, which prefer to see very strong and healthy
balances.
When the fund balance is greater than 60 percent, it shall be reduced to 60 percent by using the excess
funds for specific one-time projects, acquisitions, transfers to capital funds, or for long-term debt
reduction to lessen the future impact on the property tax rate.
In 2019, General Fund had unassigned fund balance of $1,351,348. Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic,
staff recommends assigning $1,350,000 for this anticipated future needs in 2020 and 2021. This
assignment will provide resources to assist City departments and offices to operate in support of the
response to this emergency, including the COVID-19 Pandemic Emergency Administrative Actions that
were approved at the April 7, 2020, City Council meeting.
Financial Or Budget Considerations
The assignment of 2019 fund balance will allow $1,350,000 in resources to help City departments and
offices to operate in support of the response to this emergency, including the COVID-19 Pandemic
Emergency Administrative Actions that were approved at the April 7, 2020, Council meeting.
Recommended Action
Motion to adopt Resolution Assigning 2019 General Fund Balance for the COVID-19 Expenditures.

The regular meeting of the Commission shall be held on the second Monday of the month at
Brookview at 7:00 pm. The Commission may, by a majority vote, change its regular meeting dates for
any reason provided proper public notice of the changed meeting is provided.
ii. Annual Meeting
The Annual Meeting of the Commission shall be a regular meeting, typically the first meeting after
May 1 of each year, at which time elections will be held.
iii. Special Meeting
A special meeting may be called by the Chair or whenever three members request the same in writing.
Staff shall give notice to each board member, at least three days prior to any special meeting, of the
time, place, and purpose of the meeting.
B. Attendance
Absences in one year should not exceed three consecutive meetings or more than 25 percent of the total
meetings for the year. If a member is unable to attend a meeting, that member should contact the staff

A standardized letter of warning will be sent from the City Manager’s office to any member after two
consecutive or two total absences for groups meeting once a month. For those meeting twice a month the
letter would be sent from the chair after two consecutive or five total absences. If a member exceeds the
allowable number of absences the City Manager’s office will send a standardized letter stating the member
must step down because of the importance of regular attendance and the number of citizens interested in
serving. If the City Manager’s office feels there are extenuating circumstances in a case of a member who has
not met the attendance requirements, an exception can be made.
Article IV: Rules

i. Minimum Fund Balance
Each January, the City Finance Director shall calculate the annual minimum fund balance (the “Minimum
Fund Balance”), which shall be equal to one and one-half times the actual operating expenses of the
previous calendar year (January 1 through December 31). For purposes of this paragraph, operating
expenses means all approved allocations and all Commission costs and expenses related to fundraising
from the previous calendar year. Allocation recommendations shall be made so that the balance of the
fund at the end of each year is greater than or equal to the annually adjusted Minimum Fund Balance.

requirements are met:
Each recommended recipient is a 501(c)(3) human services agencies whose request meet the

above;
The recommended recipients use the funds to provide services that are related to mitigating the
effects of the local emergency; and
The Minimum Fund Balance requirements of Article IV, paragraph (C) above are or will be met by
the end of the calendar year, or the Council has approved an exception to those requirements.
The Council may only approve an exception to the Minimum Fund Balance requirements for
emergency allocations, and the Minimum Fund Balance must be restored no later than December
31 of the calendar year following the year in which the emergency allocation is made.
The Commission shall verify that these criteria have been met; however, because time is of the essence

3. I. Amendment to Boards and Commissions Attendance Policy in Bylaws
Prepared By
Tim Cruikshank, City Manager
Summary
Staff recommends updating the attendance policy in all board and commission Bylaws as follows:
Attendance:
Members are expected to attend all meetings. If a member is unable to attend a meeting, they
should contact the staff liaison, who will inform the chair. If a quorum cannot be attained, the
meeting will be canceled. Staff liaisons will track attendance at each meeting. Each April, the
City Manager’s office will review attendance records for the preceding calendar year (April-
March) and send a standardized letter of warning to any member that has missed:
• two consecutive or three total meetings for groups that meet once a month; or
• two consecutive or five total meetings for groups that meet twice a month.
Because attendance is so important to the work of the City’s boards and commissions, the City
Manager may ask the member to explain the reasons for their absences. If circumstances
prevent the member from committing to consistently attending future meetings, the member
may be asked to step down. The City Manager will not ask the member to step down if their
inability to attend meetings is due to health reasons. If the member’s attendance does not
improve within 3 months after receiving a warning, the City Manager or their designee shall ask
the member to step down. If the member chooses not to step down, the Council may take
action to remove the member.
The purpose of these changes is to provide clear guidance to commissioners about attendance
expectations and to provide clear guidance to staff about when to send attendance warning letters to
commissioners. The attached redline shows a comparison of this language with the existing attendance
policy.

Temporary Worksite Safety Policies in
Response to COVID-19 Pandemic
Temporary Facial Covering (Masks) Policy
Introduction and Purpose
To prevent the spread of COVID-19 the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
regularly updates its guidance. COVID-19 can spread between people who are interacting in
proximity—for example, speaking, coughing, or sneezing—even if those people are not
exhibiting symptoms. As such, the CDC recommends wearing a cloth face covering in public
settings, particularly where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain. It is the
CDC’s position that a facial covering protects other people around the wearer, but does not
protect the wearer. This policy allows employees to wear a cloth mask or similar face covering
(“Mask”) in the workplace during the COVID-19 health crisis until face coverings are no longer
recommended by the CDC. Employees may refer to the short video guide for proper mask use.
Required Facial Covering
Employees shall wear a Mask while performing on-site job responsibilities where the employee
is working in proximity to another individual and social distancing measures are difficult to
maintain. This includes but is not limited to performing on-site field inspections, police patrol
functions, fire response, public works utility inspections, public works road repairs, vehicle
maintenance repair work, golf course maintenance duties, golf course operations, and City park
and open space monitoring duties. The City shall provide a cloth face Mask to employees who
are required to wear them under this policy. Employees should contact their supervisor to
request a Mask prior to performing responsibilities at a jobsite.
Per CDC guidelines, employees who are not performing the functions of a healthcare worker or
medical first responder shall not be issued surgical masks or N-95 respirators.
Laundering Masks
Masks shall be washed and dried daily following CDC recommendations. Employees shall follow
the instructions below and adhere to any additional department-specific instructions.
Golf Operations and Golf Maintenance
After each use, Golf Operations and Golf Maintenance employees shall place Masks in the
washing machine at the golf driving range.
Physical Development
After each use, Engineering and Inspections employees shall place Masks in the Street
department washing machine.
Public Works
After each use, Utilities Maintenance employees shall place Masks in the Utility Maintenance
washing machine. Street, Park, and Vehicle Maintenance employees shall place Masks in the
Street department washing machine.
Temporary Worksite Safety Policies in
Response to COVID-19 Pandemic
Voluntary Facial Covering
Employees who are not required, but prefer to wear a cloth face Mask, may do so as long as the
employee is still able to perform the essential functions of their job.
The City will prioritize distribution of Masks based on requirements of positions. Employees
who voluntarily choose to wear a Mask may not receive a City-issued Mask.
Homemade Facial Covering
Employees other than healthcare workers or medical first responders may bring their own
Masks. Employees who bring their own Masks are encouraged to consult and follow CDC
Guidelines (Appendix A) and CDC Face Covering Do’s and Don’ts (Appendix B). Employees may
not use materials that violate the City’s Respectful Workplace policy, including materials that
contain offensive pictures or language. Additionally, employees who voluntarily use Masks are
encouraged to consult and follow the CDC guidelines on laundering masks and clothing items.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Employees shall continue to follow all current department policies on the use of Masks and
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). This includes, but is not limited to Police, Fire, Public
Works, and Golf Maintenance.
Temporary Worksite Safety Policies in
Response to COVID-19 Pandemic
Temporary Field Inspections Policy
The purpose of this Temporary Field Inspections Policy is to ensure the safety and health of City
employees while they perform essential field inspections during the COVID-19 health
pandemic. Employees identified to perform such responsibilities are listed on the City’s Critical
Services Determination Table. Under this policy, employees shall follow the procedures
outlined below.
1.Employees shall take precautions by using PPE (including masks and gloves) and by
following the City’s Temporary Decontamination Policy and the Temporary Facial
Covering Policy.
2.To the greatest extent possible on-site field inspections shall be completed through the
use of video, live-streamed video (e.g., FaceTime), or review of high-quality pictures
submitted by the permit holder.
3.Field inspections shall be conducted only when, in the sole discretion of the City
Engineer or Building Official, all of the following requirements are met:
•Pictures, video, or other information are not adequate, practical, or available to
adequately evaluate site conditions or determine code compliance;
•The field inspection takes place outside, such as a new construction site, and the
employee does not enter a building, construction trailer, or vehicle with another
occupant;
•The employee follows all social distancing requirements related to COVID-19 and
recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (as amended from
time to time);
•The job site or inspection location is unoccupied by others; and
•The employee does not enter an occupied or inhabited home.
4.Employees shall follow the City’s Temporary Vehicle and Equipment Use Policy.
Additionally, any employee, upon arrival at a job site, may elect not to complete an inspection if
they determine the conditions are unsafe, unsanitary, or social distancing protocols have not
been or cannot be followed. If an employee determines that an inspection will not take place,
the employee shall immediately notify their supervisor and department head.
Temporary Worksite Safety Policies in
Response to COVID-19 Pandemic
Temporary Public Works On-Site Work Policy

identified to perform such responsibilities are listed on the City’s Critical Services Determination
Table. Under this policy, employees shall follow the procedures outlined below.
1.To the extent possible, only one employee shall perform the required tasks to deliver
critical services and perform daily rounds.

Appendix A: CDC Guidelines Use of Cloth Face Coverings to
Help Slow the Spread of COVID-19
CS316353B 04/04/2020, 12:22 PM
How to Wear Cloth Face Coverings
Cloth face coverings should—
• fit snugly but comfortably against the side of the face
• be secured with ties or ear loops
• include multiple layers of fabric
• allow for breathing without restriction
• be able to be laundered and machine dried without damage or
change to shape
CDC on Homemade Cloth Face Coverings
CDC recommends wearing cloth face coverings in public settings where other
social distancing measures are difficult to maintain (e.g., grocery stores and
pharmacies), especially in areas of significant community-based transmission.
CDC also advises the use of simple cloth face coverings to slow the spread of
the virus and help people who may have the virus and do not know it from
transmitting it to others. Cloth face coverings fashioned from household
items or made at home from common materials at low cost can be used as an
additional, voluntary public health measure.
Cloth face coverings should not be placed on young children under age
2, anyone who has trouble breathing, or is unconscious, incapacitated or
otherwise unable to remove the cloth face covering without assistance.
The cloth face coverings recommended are not surgical masks or N-95
respirators. Those are critical supplies that must continue to be reserved for
healthcare workers and other medical first responders, as recommended by
current CDC guidance.
Should cloth face coverings be washed or otherwise
cleaned regularly? How regularly?
Yes. They should be routinely washed depending on the frequency
of use.
How does one safely sterilize/clean a cloth face covering?
A washing machine should suffice in properly washing a cloth face covering.
How does one safely remove a used cloth face covering?
Individuals should be careful not to touch their eyes, nose, and mouth
when removing their cloth face covering and wash hands immediately
after removing.
Use of Cloth Face Coverings to
Help Slow the Spread of COVID-19

Sewn Cloth Face Covering
Materials
• Two 10”x6” rectangles of cotton fabric
• Two 6” pieces of elastic
(or rubber bands, string,
cloth strips, or hair ties)
• Needle and thread (or bobby pin)
• Scissors
• Sewing machine
3. Run a 6-inch length of 1/8-inch wide elastic through the wider hem
on each side of the cloth face covering. These will be the ear loops.
Use a large needle or a bobby pin to thread it through. Tie the ends
tight.
Don’t have elastic? Use hair ties or elastic head bands. If you only
have string, you can make the ties longer and tie the cloth face
covering behind your head.
4. Gently pull on the elastic so that the knots
are tucked inside the hem.
Gather the sides of the cloth face covering
on the elastic and adjust so the cloth face
covering fits your face. Then securely stitch
the elastic in place to keep it from slipping.
Tutorial
1. Cut out two 10-by-6-inch rectangles of cotton
fabric. Use tightly woven cotton, such as quilting
fabric or cotton sheets. T-shirt fabric will work in
a pinch. Stack the two rectangles; you will sew
the cloth face covering as if it was a single piece
of fabric.
2. Fold over the long sides ¼ inch and hem. Then fold the
double layer of fabric over ½ inch along the short sides
and stitch down.
