Robbins board approves state-funded COVID-19 testing agreement for village employees
Summary
The Village of Robbins on Jan. 20 approved a month-to-month COVID-19 testing agreement with Humility Health Care, paid by the state at no cost to the village, covering rapid tests and PCRs for village employees and cancelable with 48 hours' notice.
The Village of Robbins Board of Trustees approved a month-to-month COVID-19 testing agreement with Humility Health Care at a special meeting on Jan. 20, 2022. Mayor Darren E. Bryant presented the agreement and Trustee Tiffany S. Robinson moved to approve; Trustee Gregory N. Jackson seconded. The roll call recorded votes in favor by Robinson, Jackson and Michael Collier; Trustees Sharon Dyson, George Brewton and Ernest Maxey Jr. were recorded absent. The motion carried.
According to the meeting record, the testing agreement is funded by the State at no cost to the village, can be canceled with 48 hours’ notice to the facility, and will provide both rapid tests and PCR testing for village employees. The mayor noted this service is provided by a different agency than the one operating at the community center. The minutes do not record a start date or whether the service will be extended to non-employee groups.
During public comment, David Bryant asked whether the state-funded service could be extended to the library; the minutes record the question but do not show a board response or decision to expand coverage. The agreement as recorded is limited to village employees.
The board approved the agreement; no further implementation details or timeline were recorded in the meeting minutes.
