Fenlon, Administrator REPORT DATE: July 24th, 2020 EXPLANATION: Due to the increased number of COVID-19 cases locally and out of an abundance of caution that preserves the Village of Little Chute’s ability to maintain services, protect the public, and protect our staff, the following proposal is submitted for the Board of Trustees to consider. For review please see the attached a memo to be released coving the above policy, face covering notice, staff survey data, and CDC considerations for wearing a face mask. This proposal for masks in Village owned facilities is as follows: • Effective immediately – The use of face coverings will be required by all staff in indoor common areas in all village-owned and operated facilities. • “Common areas” refer to indoor spaces that are not an employee’s assigned workspace. For example: kitchens, breakrooms, restrooms, hallways, lobbies, reception areas, library, civic wings, board room, conference rooms, vehicles, etc. Kitchens, restrooms, and other enclosed buildings in parks are also considered indoor common areas. • Employees are required to wear a face covering when social distancing cannot be maintained (i.e. staying at least 6 feet or about two arms’ lengths away from other people) or as directed by your supervisor. • Village employees will be required to wear a face covering when interacting with residents at their homes, work sites and/or businesses. • Village employees will not be required to wear face coverings when they are alone in their designated workstation or office. • Residents, visitors, and customers in Village of Little Chute facilities are strongly recommended to wear face coverings. Exceptions to this requirement may be necessary in certain specific circumstances for issues of health and safety and will be at the discretion of the village department. • Violations of these expectations will not be tolerated and will be subject to discipline, up to and including termination. Exceptions to this overall policy will be evaluated and will take into consideration specific circumstances of an employee’s individual health needs, or situations where the use of face coverings might create additional safety hazards for an employee. • Departments may, when necessary, implement stricter guidelines to protect staff and the public from COVID-19. People who are exempt from wearing a face covering: o Children two (2) years old and under. o Children two (2) through twelve (12) should only wear a face covering if a parent or guardian monitors to make sure it is worn safely. o All children under twelve (12) years old should remain within six (6) feet of parent/guardian or household unit. o Anyone with a disability that makes it difficult to put on, wear or remove a face covering. o Anyone consistently interacting with a person who is deaf or hard of hearing and primarily relies on lip reading. o Anyone who has been advised by a medical professional not to wear a face covering because of personal health issues. o Anyone who has difficulty breathing or is incapacitated. o Public safety officers and personnel. RECOMMENDATION: Review the proposed face covering policy and attached documents and approve the policy effective immediately. C:\Documents and Settings\jfenlon\Desktop\Village Board and Notes\IFCs 7/24/2020 9:46:30 AM To: Village of Little Chute Employees From: James Fenlon CC: Village of Little Chute Board of Trustees Date: July 24, 2020 Subject: Face Coverings and COVID-19 Leave Due to the increased number of positive COVID-19 cases in Outagamie County and the Village of Little Chute, it is important that we take this step to maintain our ability to deliver services to our residents. Effective immediately ALL Village staff are required to wear masks when social distancing requirements cannot be met. Face Coverings as an Effective Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): The Village of Little Chute recognizes the importance of face coverings in controlling the spread of COVID-19. A face covering is generally a cloth, bandana or other type of material that covers a person’s mouth and nose. All employees will have access to face coverings provided to them by their department. Employees are welcome to obtain and use a face covering of their preference if they are professional and in good taste. Employees should contact their supervisor if they need a face covering. Expectations regarding personal protective equipment include the following: • Effective immediately – The use of face coverings will be required by all staff in indoor common areas in all village-owned and operated facilities. • “Common areas” refer to indoor spaces that are not an employee’s assigned workspace. For example: kitchens, breakrooms, restrooms, hallways, lobbies, reception areas, library, civic wings, board room, conference rooms, vehicles, etc. Kitchens, restrooms, and other enclosed buildings in parks are also considered indoor common areas. • Employees are required to wear a face covering when social distancing cannot be maintained (i.e. staying at least 6 feet or about two arms’ lengths away from other people) or as directed by your supervisor. • Village employees will be required to wear a face covering when interacting with residents at their homes, work sites and/or businesses. • Village employees will not be required to wear face coverings when they are alone in their designated workstation or office. Note: Customers in lobbies will be strongly recommended to wear face coverings. Exceptions to this requirement may be necessary in certain specific circumstances for issues of health and safety and will be at the discretion of the village department. • Violations of these expectations will not be tolerated and will be subject to discipline, up to and including termination. Exceptions to this overall policy will be evaluated and will take into consideration specific circumstances of an employee’s individual health needs, or situations where the use of face coverings might create additional safety hazards for an employee.  • Departments may, when necessary, implement stricter guidelines to protect staff and the public from COVID-19. • People who are exempt from wearing a face covering: o Children two (2) years old and under; o Children two (2) through twelve (12) should only wear a face covering if a parent or guardian monitors to make sure it is worn safely; o All children under twelve (12) years old should remain within six (6) feet of parent/guardian or household unit; o Anyone with a disability that makes it difficult to put on, wear or remove a face covering; o Anyone consistently interacting with a person who is deaf or hard of hearing and primarily relies on lip reading; o Anyone who has been advised by a medical professional not to wear a face covering because of personal health issues; o Anyone who has difficulty breathing or is incapacitated. o Public safety officers and personnel. To get the most benefits from a face covering: • Make sure it completely covers your nose and mouth. • Read the directions for use (if provided). • Wash your hands before and after removing it. • Try not to touch your face when you adjust it throughout the day. • Keep cloth coverings clean by washing daily, or more often if contamination occurs. • Do not let others wear your face covering. • Keep face coverings away from machinery that it could get caught in. • If using disposable face coverings, do not reuse them, and throw them away in the appropriate trash receptacles. • Do not lay your face covering on any surface that may contaminate either the covering or the surface. • Do not use the face covering if it is damaged or has holes, unless it is the only accessible face covering.  Notice: Face Coverings Strongly Recommended Response to COVID-19: The Village of Little Chute is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for all residents who enter public facilities. As the nation’s response to COVID-19 virus continues to change and evolve, the village remains steadfast in communicating with residents. Effective Immediately: • The use of face coverings is strongly recommended by all people in indoor common areas in all village-owned and operated facilities. • Disposable face coverings will be provided. • All resident services can be accessed virtually, over the phone or online.

People get so angry if 7/21/2020 1:16 PM you don't wear a mask as if you don't care about others, and others get mad if masks are required. I will support whatever the administration decides. 3 it would be impossible to do the job of public works with a face mask and I think its a total joke 7/21/2020 12:41 PM 4 I do not feel a mask off any kind is needed in my current work environment, and I would be 7/21/2020 12:13 PM extremely uncomfortable wearing one. 5 what is going to happen when school starts. some of us have kids in school and if they shut 7/21/2020 9:22 AM down or have to close how will that work if we need to care for out child during the school year 6 I think the way it's being handled right now is good. We've been doing this now for about 4 7/21/2020 7:50 AM months and I feel comfortable using my own judgement on when to wear/not wear a mask. 7 if other employees do not follow the distance rules outside of work should they be able to work 7/21/2020 7:26 AM with others 8 I would prefer it to be up to each individual. Having to work outside all day, it would not be 7/21/2020 7:16 AM comfortable to wear a mask all day 9 In my opinion masks should be worn in all public indoor areas. I feel that given the information 7/21/2020 7:11 AM we have regarding the virus it is the safest alternative to staying home. However I also feel that we need to continue to explore safer alternative ways to conduct business to protect those in our families, communities, and beyond - especially those that are most vulnerable. This seems like a small price to pay if we could save even one person in the community from complications of the virus. As Village of Little Chute employees we all serve our village residents in one capacity or another. I feel it is our duty and responsibility to protect ourselves and those we serve. 10 Would you consider mask wearing only if we are sharing a room with others? 7/20/2020 3:38 PM 11 Wearing masks protects you and me! 7/20/2020 3:21 PM 12 Communications on the phone are difficult with a mask on which is why I answered the first 7/20/2020 3:05 PM question as preferring not to wear a face covering all day. Also, I think that if anyone entering the building be required to wear a mask and employees could put a mask on when dealing with the public and/or are away from work station or not able to maintain 6 feet, that would be better than closing the building completely down. 13 "All we need is the right crisis and the people will accept the New World Order" - David 7/20/2020 2:58 PM Rockefeller 14 I am in favor of wearing a face covering when social distancing is not posible 7/20/2020 2:48 PM 15 I have already been wearing a mask during any contact with anyone, in particular indoors. I 7/20/2020 2:39 PM don't think we should be bringing anyone into the pd unless they are a victim of a violent crime or suspect in custody. I would not feel it is necessary to wear a mask in the squad car. 16 I like the idea of having to wear masks when in direct contact with the public, but the idea of 7/20/2020 2:37 PM wearing a mask whenever I am closer to six feet in proximity to one of my co-workers seems very cumbersome. 17 I believe masks should be provided by the village to all employees. I feel that there should be 7/20/2020 2:33 PM some requirements to when we are supposed to wear them, but wearing them for the entirety of the day when we can socially distance within our buildings seems a little much. 18 It looks like face coverings/masks are the best tools we have to combat the spread of COVID- 7/20/2020 10:23 AM 19. As it stands, it is even better than hand washing, although hand washing is still an excellent idea. If we want to make our communities safer and return to normalcy sooner, we need to take steps to reduce spread. Face coverings/masks and social distancing are minor inconveniences to restore our freedoms and safety. Common areas with food/drink, such as break rooms, remain a tricky area. If someone has an office space that is not frequently occupied by others, they should have the right to take off their face covering. 5/5 7/22/2020 COVID-19: Considerations for Wearing Cloth Face Coverings | CDC Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Considerations for Wearing Cloth Face Coverings Help Slow the Spread of COVID-19 Updated July 16, 2020 Print CDC recommends that people wear cloth face coverings in public settings and when around people who don’t live in your household, especially when other social distancing measures are di cult to maintain. Cloth face coverings may help prevent people who have COVID-19 from spreading the virus to others. Cloth face coverings are most likely to reduce the spread of COVID-19 when they are widely used by people in public settings. Cloth face coverings should NOT be worn by children under the age of 2 or anyone who has trouble breathing, is unconscious, incapacitated, or otherwise unable to remove the mask without assistance. Evidence for E ectiveness of Cloth Face Coverings Cloth face coverings are recommended as a simple barrier to help prevent respiratory droplets from traveling into the air and onto other people when the person wearing the cloth face covering coughs, sneezes, talks, or raises their voice. This is called source control. This recommendation is based on what we know about the role respiratory droplets play in the spread of the virus that causes COVID-19, paired with emerging evidence from clinical and laboratory studies that shows cloth face coverings reduce the spray of droplets when worn over the nose and mouth. COVID-19 spreads mainly among people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet), so the use of cloth face coverings is particularly important in settings where people are close to each other or where social distancing is di cult to maintain. Who Should Wear A Cloth Face Covering? General public CDC recommends all people 2 years of age and older wear a cloth face covering in public settings and when around people who don’t live in your household, especially when other social distancing measures are di cult to maintain. COVID-19 can be spread by people who do not have symptoms and do not know that they are infected. That’s why it’s important for everyone to wear cloth face coverings in public settings and practice social distancing (staying at least 6 feet away from other people). https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/cloth-face-cover-guidance.html 1/4 7/22/2020 COVID-19: Considerations for Wearing Cloth Face Coverings | CDC While cloth face coverings are strongly encouraged to reduce the spread of COVID-19, CDC recognizes there are speci c instances when wearing a cloth face covering may not be feasible. In these instances, adaptations and alternatives should be considered whenever possible (see below for examples). People who know or think they might have COVID-19 If you are sick with COVID-19 or think you might have COVID-19, do not visit public areas. Stay home except to get medical care. As much as possible stay in a speci c room and away from other people and pets in your home. If you need to be around other people or animals, wear a cloth face covering (including in your home). The cloth face covering helps prevent a person who is sick from spreading the virus to others. It helps keep respiratory droplets contained and from reaching other people. Caregivers of people with COVID-19 Those caring for someone who is sick with COVID-19 at home or in a non-healthcare setting may also wear a cloth face covering. However, the protective e ects—how well the cloth face covering protects healthy people from breathing in the virus—are unknown. To prevent getting sick, caregivers should also continue to practice everyday preventive actions: avoid close contact as much as possible, clean hands often; avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands; and frequently clean and disinfect surfaces. Who Should Not Wear a Cloth Face Covering Cloth face coverings should not be worn by: Children younger than 2 years old Anyone who has trouble breathing Anyone who is unconscious, incapacitated, or otherwise unable to remove the cloth face covering without assistance Feasibility and Adaptations CDC recognizes that wearing cloth face coverings may not be possible in every situation or for some people. In some situations, wearing a cloth face covering may exacerbate a physical or mental health condition, lead to a medical emergency, or introduce signi cant safety concerns. Adaptations and alternatives should be considered whenever possible to increase the feasibility of wearing a cloth face covering or to reduce the risk of COVID-19 spreading if it is not possible to wear one. For example, People who are deaf or hard of hearing—or those who care for or interact with a person who is hearing impaired—may be unable to wear cloth face coverings if they rely on lipreading to communicate. In this situation, consider using a clear face covering. If a clear face covering isn’t available, consider whether you can use written communication, use closed captioning, or decrease background noise to make communication possible while wearing a cloth face covering that blocks your lips. Some people, such as people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, mental health conditions or other sensory sensitivities, may have challenges wearing a cloth face covering. They should consult with their healthcare provider for advice about wearing cloth face coverings. Younger children (e.g., preschool or early elementary aged) may be unable to wear a cloth face covering properly, particularly for an extended period of time. Wearing of cloth face coverings may be prioritized at times when it is di cult to maintain a distance of 6 feet from others (e.g., during carpool drop o or pick up, or when standing in line at school). Ensuring proper cloth face covering size and t and providing children with frequent reminders and education on the importance and proper wear of cloth face coverings may help address these issues. People should not wear cloth face coverings while engaged in activities that may cause the cloth face covering to become wet, like when swimming at the beach or pool. A wet cloth face covering may make it di cult to breathe. For activities like swimming, it is particularly important to maintain physical distance from others when in the water. People who are engaged in high intensity activities, like running, may not be able to wear a cloth face covering if it causes di culty breathing. If unable to wear a cloth face covering, consider conducting the activity in a location with greater https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/cloth-face-cover-guidance.html 2/4 7/22/2020 COVID-19: Considerations for Wearing Cloth Face Coverings | CDC ventilation and air exchange (for instance, outdoors versus indoors) and where it is possible to maintain physical distance from others. People who work in a setting where cloth face coverings may increase the risk of heat-related illness or cause safety concerns due to introduction of a hazard (for instance, straps getting caught in machinery) may consult with an occupational safety and health professional to determine the appropriate face covering for their setting. Outdoor workers may prioritize use of cloth face coverings when in close contact with other people, like during group travel or shift meetings, and remove face coverings when social distancing is possible. Find more information here and below. Cloth face coverings are a critical preventive measure and are most essential in times when social distancing is di cult. If cloth face coverings cannot be used, make sure to take other measures to reduce the risk of COVID-19 spread, including social distancing, frequent hand washing, and cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched surfaces. Face Shields It is not known if face shields provide any bene t as source control to protect others from the spray of respiratory particles. CDC does not recommend use of face shields for normal everyday activities or as a substitute for cloth face coverings. Some people may choose to use a face shield when sustained close contact with other people is expected. If face shields are used without a mask, they should wrap around the sides of the wearer’s face and extend to below the chin. Disposable face shields should only be worn for a single use. Reusable face shields should be cleaned and disinfected after each use. Plastic face shields for newborns and infants are NOT recommended. Surgical Masks Cloth face coverings are not surgical masks or respirators. Currently, those are critical supplies that should continue to be reserved for healthcare workers and other medical rst responders, as recommended by current CDC guidance. Cloth face coverings also are not appropriate substitutes for them in workplaces where masks or respirators are recommended or required and available.
