Please let me know if any additional information or back-up is required in support of the above spending plan. Respectfully, Mark D. Mathes City Manager 22 South Orange Street Fellsmere, Florida 32948-6700 Phone: 772-571-1616 Fax: 772-571-8615 Spending Plan for CARES Act Funding Provide for Hazard Pay to Police Officers $35,000 Police Officers have been responding to public emergencies throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. The hazard pay will be provided to officers on payroll as of the effective date of the CARES Act Funding Agreement between the City of Fellsmere and Indian River County and shall be based on the duty time during the pandemic. Hazard Pay shall be provided retroactively to March 1, 2020 through December 30, 2020. Conduct Public Outreach/Education on Covid-19 prevention and Mask Order $ 4,067 Fellsmere has seen a spike in COVID cases and has a population that has shown reluctance to mask wearing, a proven action to reduce the spread. The City will utilize a variety of means to share information on the value and benefits of wearing a mask in protecting yourself and others. Funds will be used to prepare, copy, and distribute information regarding mask wearing. Funds may also be used for community testing. Install Ion Generators in AC System of City Hall and PW/PD $25,000 Ion Generators are a proven technology for the reduction of harmful agents such as bacteria and viruses. Ion Generators will be installed in all air conditioning systems within the City of Fellsmere City Hall and Police/Public Works complexes. Provide for sealed doors/pass-throughs for Utility Cashiers $75,000 Current operations for Utility Cashiers include half partition walls in open air rooms with open pass throughs. Given the airborne nature of the Covid-19, a new wall will be constructed to provide an air -tight separation between the public and employees and will utilize intercom communication and pass-through drawers to ensure constant separation of air spaces. - Provide for sealed doors/pass-throughs for Police and Public Works Lobby $75,000 Current operations for both the Police and Public Works lobbies include open air pass throughs and non -air -tight doors. Given the airborne nature of the Covid-19, a new wall will be constructed to provide an air -tight separation between the public and employees and will utilize intercom communication and pass-through drawers to ensure constant separation of air spaces. Renovate Council Chambers to allow for social distance seating $95,000 Current operations in the City Council Chambers do not allow for social distancing of council members, staff or the public. Joining Council Chambers with an un -used adjacent room would allow space to spread seating for staff and the public to maintain social distancing, a proven means to mitigate the spread of Covid-19. This would also then allow the City Council members to spread across the entire dais providing social distance for the Council members as well. Surplus Funds Upon obligation of the above tasks, if surplus funds exist, the City will purchase and install technology in the Council Chambers and scanning technology to allow for virtual meetings, enhance document presentation at such meetings, and to allow document access for remote employees. 22 South Orange Street Fellsmere, Florida 32948-6700 Phone: 772-571-1616 Fax: 772-571-8615
