County Manager John Crumpton requested direction on how to address opening <br /> facilities and staffing within County facilities. Chair Dalrymple requested that whatever <br /> Resolution is passed that everyone remember that it impacts not only private business <br /> but County staff as well. Dr. Crumpton stated that in talking with staff there are several <br /> issues going on. With schools being closed there are child care issues and with summer <br /> coming up and the probability that at least some of the County's summer programs <br /> may not occur, childcare is going to be a challenge. There was also discussion about <br /> Parks and Recreation programs and the pool. The county is evaluating daily screening <br /> of employees and is working on supplying personal protective equipment in addition to <br /> creating additional separation with the public to protect employees. Local government is <br /> an essential business, but the County has made the decision on its own to close <br /> facilities to further protect employees and the public. Commissioner Smith read the <br /> Resolution. Commissioner Reives requested that the County Attorney contact the <br /> association to find out how many Resolutions have been forwarded to the Governor. <br /> There were three letters and one Resolution. Commissioner Reives suggested a letter <br /> of recommendation and stated that he did not feel comfortable taking these steps until <br /> there was a plan in place. County Attorney Whitney Parrish recommended changing the <br /> date in the Resolution to May 8th to align with the expiration of the Governor's current <br /> Executive Order. Commissioner Smith requested to amend his original motion to <br /> reference Executive Order 135 and to request that the Executive Order expire on May <br /> 8th. Commissioner Reives requested to call the question. <br /> Final Resolution to Phase in Reopening in Lee County.docx <br /> Resolution - Requesting Governor Roy Cooper Allow Executive Order 121 to Expire <br /> and to Reopen North Carolina.doc <br /> Motion: Motion to approve "Resolution Requesting North Carolina Governor Roy <br /> Cooper Allow Executive Order 135 to Expire and Reopen North Carolina for <br /> Business, Education, and Social Activity." <br /> Mover: Kirk Smith <br /> For: 5 - Kevin Dodson, Arianna Del Palazzo, Dr. Andre Knecht, Cameron Sharpe, <br /> Kirk Smith <br /> Against: 2 - Amy Dalrymple, Robert Reives <br /> Motion Result: Passed <br />
