Regular Council
STAFF MEMO
Meeting: Regular Council - May 13 2021
Staff Contact: Jeremy Allen, Village Manager Department: Manager
Approve Temporary Mask Policy
On Monday, May 3rd, Governor DeSantis signed Executive Order21-102 which eliminates any existing
emergency order or ordinance issued by a county or municipality that imposes restrictions or mandates
upon businesses or individuals due to the COVID-19 emergency. This order eliminates and supersedes
any existing emergency order or ordinance issued by a county or the Village that imposes restrictions
or mandates upon businesses or individuals due to the COVID-19 emergency.
The Village will continue the Temporary Mask Policy through May 30th, of requiring employees to wear
a mask and asking employees when possible to observe social distancing, monitor employee
symptoms, perform regular cleaning and disinfecting. The following circumstances require employees
to wear a mask while on duty.
• When traversing through any Village facility
• When working in an enclosed work area (e.g., front desk, counter area, cubicle, areas of confined
space) with another person(s)
• When the Department Head deems it necessary to maintain the health and safety of staff and/or
community
'The Village will issue facemasks if requested by employees. If there are additional people barriers
needed to ensure safety we can supply those as well.
1. Social Distance: The employee should maintain 6 feet and practice social distancing as work
duties permit in the workplace.
2. Disinfect and Clean work spaces: Clean and disinfect all areas such as offices, bathrooms,
common areas, shared electronic equipment routinely.
Management is keeping existing policies in place through May 30th in order to keep employees and
residents safe, while sharing useful information, and giving all employees an opportunity to get
vaccinated which should help curtail the spread of communicable diseases.
