<br />Page 3 of 4 <br /> <br />Printup asked about the reasoning for the non-overlapping shifts. Printup asked what <br />the City Administrator’s recommendation would be about this. <br /> <br />Rief mentioned that there is a lot of information about this and there are a lot of valid <br />points for implementing a program for this however he could not give a <br />recommendation either way. Rief mentioned he may be leaning more against it this <br />time. <br /> <br />Crosby asked if we did anything different back when we had the H1N1 epidemic. <br /> <br />Farniok responded that the vaccine had been offered after about 4 months at that time <br />and the Governor had not declared a state of emergency at that time. He mentioned <br />that this would occur during this time only. <br /> <br />Printup mentioned that he tends to be in favor of this because it could turn out to be <br />less costly. <br /> <br />Walsh stated he sees both sides of this. He stated to pick one out because the <br />Governor chose who can and can not work it doesn’t add any difference to whats <br />going on. It seems that data shown for people in the field contacting this disease has <br />been mainly from community contact which happens outside of working hours. <br /> <br />Crosby mentioned that we don’t get to pick and choose what we are exposed to. I <br />think the best thing we should do is to make sure the Officers are supplied with the <br />proper PPE. <br /> <br />Johnson mentioned that he feels the best way we can support is deal with it as an <br />officer becomes sick. This seems to be like we are giving people money in case they <br />get sick. We should look at supporting the officer if they get sick. <br /> <br />Seals agrees with Johnson. Possibly looking into options of how we can support staff <br />if they get sick would be appropriate. <br /> <br />Printup mentioned that the option of supporting them after they contact the disease <br />could be more costly. <br /> <br />City Engineer/Public Works Director Adam Edwards mentioned that if a plan does <br />take shape then it should include the maintenance workers and building official as <br />well. <br /> <br />Walsh would like staff to come up with a plan. <br /> <br />Rief mentioned that Workers Comp will cover up to 60% of costs. <br /> <br />Johnson asked the City Administrator to put a formal proposal together. <br />
