Memorandum of Understanding with Prince George’s County
end
Suggested Action:
recommendation
I move that the Mayor and Council authorize the City Administrator to negotiate and enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Prince George’s County to fund overtime costs for police and/or traffic controllers to support an additional Hyattsville COVID testing site day(s).
end
Summary Background:
The Hyattsville COVID testing site began operating its second cycle on September 14, 2020. The site presently operates two (2) days a week. A third day is being considered. Unfortunately, a third day is not financially and logistically supportable at this time and would have to be funded by the County. The MOU will allow an avenue for support and/or reimbursement from the County.
Next Steps:
If authorized, the City Administrator will await confirmation from the County and negotiate an MOU to support an additional test site day/s.
Fiscal Impact:
This MOU would allow the City to offer a third testing day with $0 net effect on the overtime budget and staffing levels.
City Administrator Comments:
