He would like discussion added relative to the existing condition 21 of the road section between West Shadow Drive and the s-curve. The County indicated 22 that if they proceeded with the two cul-de-sac option, they would include a mill and 23 overlay of this section as part of the project. 24 25 Item 3A, Adoption of the Pandemic Response Plan – Administrator Karlson reviewed the 26 plan, noting that it lays out staff’s response currently and intents going forward with the 27 pandemic emergency situation. 28 29 Councilmember Stoesz asked if the City is well stocked with needed consumables (i.e. gas, 30 paper products). Director Swenson said he has spoken with Public Services Director 31 DeGardner on that matter. Levels have been evaluated and that will continue. Mr. 32 Swenson added that the Public Safety Department is watching its needed stock (i.e. rubber 33 gloves, masks) and monitoring what will be needed going ahead in a fragile environment. 34 35 Mayor Rafferty asked how this plan is needed in addition to the Declaration of Emergency 36 approved by the council last week. Administrator Karlson explained that staff wishes that 37 the council see and approve this plan that provides details to carry the City’s response 38 moving forward though the emergency; the city council will be asked to approve certain 39 items along that route. Mayor Rafferty asked if it would be appropriate for the Council to 40 “accept” rather than approve the plan. Mr. Karlson said staff is requesting adoption. 41 42 The meeting was adjourned at 6:30 p.m. 43 44
