Rationale:  Several weeks ago management and staff began planning for altered office procedures due to the growing concern over COVID-19.  The following is a listing of some of the changes that have been made over the past several weeks:
- Office staff has been divided into two work groups, each working 3 days in the office and 3 days remotely from home.
- Staff members who can continue to work outside will do so when work is needed however they will not be permitted to enter any portion of the office.
- While working from home, staff will be available for phone and e-mail communications and understand all job related responsibilities remain.
- Management and staff are conducting daily conference calls at 10 am and 2 pm to maintain aggressive communication lines and insure all staff is up to date with ongoing District workloads.
- Sick leave will not be utilized while staff is working from home.
- The office doors have been locked and the general public is not allowed into the building without an appointment.
- If a walk-up customer needs to drop off paperwork, payment or any other correspondence, staff will go to their vehicle and take care of business outside of the office.
- All staff is being asked to follow generally accepted CDC recommendations when it comes to washing hands, disinfecting equipment and operating as safely as possible in our current working environment.
- Office cleaning crew is disinfecting all solid surfaces, light switches, door handles and public spaces during their regular cleaning and staff is doing the same at the end of the 3 day shifts.
- All staff will remain home and not come into the office if they have any of the variety of COVID-19 symptoms.
- Our NRD recreation areas remain open however we have closed down the Wanahoo playgrounds and all of our recreation site toilets.
- While we can never guarantee the absolute safety to all our employees, we believe these steps and any future steps, will help us achieve our greatest goal, that of protecting the health and well-being of our staff and the general public.
