Prince Rupert City Council members will be asked to review and approve a range of re-opening policies related to how the City has approached the COVID-19 situation in British Columbia.
The reading material for the Council members comes from City Manager Robert Long, though the document more identifies the problems and challenges that COVID has created; rather than to explain any of the steps proposed or already taken towards the city's reopening plans moving forward.
Among the themes noted in the report is the city's limited financial and human resources, as well as its limited expertise and capacity for any testing or technical or medical responses.
The purpose of the report was to provide direction to ensure the safety of staff and the community during a re-opening to mitigate the risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
As part of the preparation of the documents, civic departments were requested to provide safety plans for all areas of reopening in accordance with recommended Provincial Health Authority and Work Safe B.C. Guidelines.
Council is requested to approve by resolution, the policies.
As part of the review of policies, City staff created policies for seven areas, which included:
Reopen plans for Recreation and Community Services
Exposure Control at City Hall
Exposure control for City workers with the RCMPdetachment
Exposure control for the Cow Bay Marina
Exposure control for the Operations Department
Exposure control for Prince Rupert Fire/Rescue Department
Hopefully, residents of the city may learn more about the measures and policies to be approved tonight when the Council members review the report.
