City Council <br />Meeting Minutes <br />April 28, 2020 <br />Page 3 of 6 <br /> <br />- Public safety measures including sanitization/cleaning, masking of staff and <br />patrons, temperature monitoring of staff and patrons, etc. <br />- Social distancing at 6 feet, supported by floor markings and physical barriers <br /> <br />We are awaiting additional public health guidance and there may be other factors and <br />accommodations to be made. Assuming we have the infrastructure to meet the public <br />health requirements, facilities may begin opening in late May or early June. Other <br />municipalities along the Front Range are working on the same timeframe. Staff is also <br />looking at the financial impact of this process. <br /> <br />Staff has provided an initial plan for reopening major facilities but is seeking feedback <br />from Council on some specific facilities including Memory Square Pool and dog parks. <br /> <br />Deputy City Manager Davis added that the reopening plan will include a robust <br />communication strategy. The City will provide updates regarding restored services, hours <br />of operation and all public health safety information on its webpage and through <br />community announcements and e-notifications. <br /> <br />Public Comments <br /> <br />Julian Suarez, 921 Garfield Avenue, recommended the City consider a temporary closure <br />of Main Street to allow restaurants to spread out to run at greater capacity and be <br />compliant with distancing requirements. <br /> <br />Mayor Stolzmann asked Council to start the discussion around the principals. <br /> <br />Councilmember Leh suggested adding the word “robust” to the final principal; looking for <br />robust engagement. <br /> <br />Mayor Pro Tem Maloney asked if the principals are guided by the Health Department. <br />City Manager Balser stated the City is taking guidance from BCPH on all aspects of <br />reopening. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dickinson noted the City is doing it the right way which is to follow the <br />guidance of the Health Department and doing it consistently with our neighbors. <br />Councilmember Fahey agreed we need to be consistent with the rest of the County. <br /> <br />Members accepted the principals with the one change to add robust as suggested. <br /> <br />Memory Square Pool <br /> <br />Mayor Stolzmann stated that the question about Memory Square Pool is with group size <br />still limited to 10 people and with what we expect for social distancing requirements: is it <br />reasonable to expect to open the pool this summer? <br />
