Summary Background:
Requesting the purchase of mobile hand washing stations and some foot operated hand-sanitizing stations to assist with stopping the spread of COVID especially amongst the homeless population. Suggested locations will be coordinated with the Department of Public Works (DPW), but currently include the Hamilton Street and Route One corridors.
Next Steps:
Research costs, types, and maintenance of available equipment. DPW, Financial and Legal Review required. DPW will work with County and State on utilization in public right of way where applicable. DPW will purchase, install, and maintain units. Upon approval, staff resources to implement would include Public Works for purchase, location, property owner coordination, installation, parts, supplies and maintenance.
Fiscal Impact:
$15K
City Administrator Comments:
Staff will review existing and potential equipment type and make recommendations on location, property boundaries, and coordination required. Some coordination with business owners and County and State property lines may be required. Regular maintenance will be required for the upkeep of the units and will be done by Parks’ staff. We anticipate some costs for parts and supplies-TBD.
