AGENDA ITEM – 1G <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />DATE: September 21, 2020 <br /> <br />TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers <br /> <br />FROM: Dave Perrault, City Administrator <br /> <br />SUBJECT: COVID-19 Update <br /> <br /> Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source: <br /> N/A N/A N/A <br /> <br />For Council Consideration <br /> <br />Council may consider providing staff further direction on City operations during COVID-19. <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />Staff will provide a verbal update for any applicable changes regarding COVID-19. As of <br />September 16, 2020, the Governor has not issued any new guidance regarding his Stay Safe <br />Orders. The City Council may want to weigh in on any of the below, or provide guidance on <br />items not listed: <br /> <br />-City Hall remains closed to the public, and staff is circulating into the office as needed; <br />however, most staff continues to work remotely if able. There is not a right answer for cities on <br />whether or not they are opening to the public, some cities are completely open while others <br />remain completely closed. For our surrounding cities, New Brighton and Mounds View are <br />closed, but both are planning on opening their doors in the near future. <br /> <br />-City Council meetings are still being held remotely and closed to the public. <br /> <br />-The Public Works Crew is still split into two shifts. <br /> <br />-The Recreation Coordinator is still on a temporary layoff. <br /> <br />Other items: <br /> <br />-Staff received a quote to have an air purifier installed in our air handling units totaling $4,117, <br />which would be eligible for CARES funding. This is not related to our current HVAC project; <br />this is the same equipment that LJFD installed in their buildings.
