Summary
The Village of South Range Common Council revised its COVID-19 policy at its Jan. 20, 2022 special meeting to add PPE in vehicles, require masking when 6 feet cannot be maintained, provide a one-time 40-hour COVID pay benefit, and require masking for close contacts; the clerk was directed to contact WUPHD for PPE.
The Village of South Range Common Council voted to revise its COVID-19 workplace policy on Jan. 20, 2022, following a motion by Trustee Justin Marier that was seconded by Trustee Kerry Jutila. The minutes record the motion as carried.
According to the minutes, the revised policy includes providing Lysol wipes and masks in all village vehicles, requiring masking when employees cannot maintain 6 feet of separation, offering a one-time 40-hour (five-day) COVID pay benefit, and directing close contacts to mask for five days unless symptoms develop. Employees are to follow the guidelines listed in the updated policy.
The minutes further state that "Clerk will contact WUPHD about PPE for the Village Employees as directed by the Village Council." The minutes use the abbreviation WUPHD and do not expand it or provide contact or timing details.
The vote in the minutes is recorded as "Yeas: George Eakin, Kerry Jutila, Paul Saaranen, Justin Marier, Terry Parolini, & Kerry Jutila; Nays: None." The minutes contain duplicate name entries and list Paul Saaranen as absent in the attendance line while also including him in the yeas; these discrepancies are noted in the record and were not resolved in the minutes.
The council adjourned at 6:32 p.m.
