Memorandum
Date: August 11, 2020
To: The Honorable Moke Simon, Chair, Lake County Board of Supervisors
From: Carol J. Huchingson, County Administrative Officer
Subject: Approve additions to the COUNTY OF LAKE COVID-19 PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY Return to Work - Worksite Protection Protocol, authorizing the County Administrative Officer or her designee to initiate the meet and confer process with labor groups.
Executive Summary: (include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
As your Board recalls, when you first approved the COVID-19 Return to Work Protocol on May 19, 2020, you directed that it be reviewed no less frequently than every 30 days. Review and revisions have previously occurred on June 16, 2020, July 14, 2020 and July 21, 2020.
As you know, staff fully expected that the Protocol would be a living document and issues continue to arise leading to proposed revisions for the consideration of your Board.
The revisions recommended today primarily focus around employee exposure, testing and return to work from quarantine and most importantly, include insertion of a hyperlink to new state guidance, “COVID-19 Employer Playbook”. While the guidance included in our Protocol is solid, the Playbook goes into considerably more detail and should be a great resource to our departments. In addition to this insertion, we have added guidance as to the need to coordinate with the County Administrative Office for a Press Release regarding any known positive, as has become commonplace for local businesses.
Attached for your review is a track change version of the document, a final version, and the Playbook since the hyperlink is not likely to work from a pdf file.
