  3. I further suspend all regulatory provisions of the Codified Ordinances of the City of Bellefontaine as necessary to allow for the continued ability of the City to meet payroll, process insurance benefits, and pay vendors during the time of the emergency.
  4. The City apply for emergency public assistance funds resulting from the National Emergency declared on March 13, 2020.
