Some of the language 32 seems a little vague in some sense. He was reading through it and there are pieces that states 33 “staff would be advised or encourage to do a certain thing in virtue of the protocol that is 34 recommended by Minnesota Department of Health” and it seems a little vague and up to the 35 discretion of individuals rather than it being more specific and mandated by management so that 36 there is a consistency among what the protocol would look like among all staff. Mr. Casey 37 stated in crafting this document staff looked at it from the approach of following within MDH 38 and CDC’s guidelines and regarding the implementation of it as long as staff is making sure 39 these are filled within the intent of those guidelines. He has confidence in staff’s ability to make 40 sure that they are applied to the fullest extent beyond adding any additional language. 41 42 Motion carried 5-0. 43 44 VII.
