CC Work Session 2. 1. <br />Meeting Date: 04/28/2020 <br />Information <br />Title: <br />Receive an Update Regarding COVID-19 and Discuss the Timeline to Re -open Public Facing City Facilities <br />Purpose/Background: <br />Matt Kohner, Fire Chief and Emergency Management Director for the City of Ramsey, along with Kurt Ulrich, <br />City Administrator, will provide an update on the current status of the COVID-19 situation. In addition, staff would <br />like to discuss recommendations for the next phases and timeline for reopening public facing city services. <br />As of this writing, the stay-at-home order is set to expire at 11.59 p.m.. on Sunday, May 3, 2020, and is not <br />expected to continue. Once the stay-at-home order expires, the City is expected to continue social distancing <br />practices in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19. Over the last few weeks, staff have made several operational <br />improvements and many remote staff have fine-tuned their off -site work stations. On -site staff have taken the <br />necessary precautions to ensure a safe work place. <br />Community and employee safety is paramount, and it is recommended that remote workers continue working <br />remotely, and when required to work on -site, employees use staggered shifts, appropriate distancing, sanitizing, and <br />protective precautions, at the direction of department heads. Overall, from an Emergency Management perspective, <br />Staff recommends a phased reopening of City Hall to slowly add back staff to in -person office hours, and the <br />eventual reopening of city hall for face-to-face customer interaction. Staff is researching modifications (e.g., <br />plexiglass screens) to counters to facilitate this transition. Public meetings will remain remote while social <br />distancing guidelines are in place. <br />Attachments <br />No file(s) attached. <br />Inbox <br />Tim Gladhill <br />Kurt Ulrich <br />Kurt Ulrich <br />Colleen Lasher (Originator) <br />Tim Gladhill <br />Kurt Ulrich <br />Kurt Ulrich <br />Form Started By: Colleen Lasher <br />Final Approval Date: 04/23/2020 <br />Form Review <br />Reviewed By <br />Tim Gladhill <br />Kurt Ulrich <br />Kathy Schmitz <br />Kathy Schmitz <br />Kathy Schmitz <br />Kurt Ulrich <br />Kurt Ulrich <br />Date <br />04/23/2020 11:38 AM <br />04/23/2020 02:37 PM <br />04/23/2020 03:03 PM <br />04/23/2020 03:03 PM <br />04/23/2020 03:04 PM <br />04/23/2020 03:26 PM <br />04/23/2020 03:26 PM <br />Started On: 04/23/2020 08:38 AM <br />
