Chamblee unveils plan to restart government services

With the reopening of businesses and state government, the city of Chamblee released a plan to bring back operations at city facilities:

• The city will install plexiglass "cough shields" at all public windows in city facilities that will remain in place until further notice.
• Guests will be restricted to lobby areas or designated meeting rooms off the lobby in each city facility.
• Bathrooms will be locked and not open to the public. Water fountains will be disabled.
• Teleconference meetings are the primary way to meet with city staff. Should a face-to-face meeting request be granted, customers will be required to wear masks to meet with city employees. Masks will be provided if necessary. No employee is required to meet with someone if that person is unwilling to wear a mask and maintain social distance, is presenting symptoms of a virus or flu, or becomes argumentative.
• All departments are asked to minimize the number of employees in the office on any given day. The use of rotating schedules (where several employees telework on some days or work non-standard shifts) is authorized, as appropriate, and will limit the number of employees in the office.
• The city will provide staff with face masks, gloves, antibacterial gel and Lysol. A limited supply of bagged masks will be made available to provide to the public if necessary.
• Lobby areas will be marked off with signage that clearly represents social distancing recommendations.
• City facilities will be deep cleaned and sanitized every Friday. Nightly cleanings will include a cleaning of common areas with traditional spray/wipe products.
• Rental of city facilities will not be permitted.
• Park open areas and trails will remain open for individuals practicing social distancing.
