Andy,
As a follow up on our conversation you can shut down the restrooms at all parks. Post a sign on the door that says, “Do to concerns with the COVID-19 virus, the restrooms will be closed until further notice.” If we have an issue locking the doors that have been broken into then put latches and PW locks on the doors. Once done, please let Darlene know so she can post the message to the website and FB pages. Thanks.
Frank,
Per direction to shut down the restrooms, please pass on to your officers so they know that no one should be in them. Trespass and vandalism to those you find. Thanks.
Regards,

Subject: Public Restrooms Question
Gents, our staff this morning had a concern about the Public Park Restrooms and I promised I’d bounce it off you:
First, Molalla has not historically provided soap in the park bathrooms, so until we get some new dispensers on order no one can really wash their hands properly. Second, there is no real way to follow the CDC guidelines of waiting 24 hours after use by an infected person before Cleaning/disinfecting (because we don’t know if an infected person used the bathroom!). Finally, we certainly don’t provide the PPE the CDC is recommending, such as gowns. That seems like overkill to me but I’m not the CDC, nor am I the one cleaning the bathrooms normally! Thoughts?
