UG Commission to consider COVID mitigation plan tonight

The Unified Government Commission is scheduled to consider a COVID-19 mitigation plan for staff at the 7 p.m. meeting tonight.

Discussed during a Monday night UG committee meeting, the mitigation plan would give $400 each to employees who are vaccinated and also require COVID testing for employees who are unvaccinated. An additional $100 would be given to employees who get a booster shot.

The $1 million for these incentives would come from federal American Rescue Plan Act funds that the UG is receiving.

Those employees who do not show proof of being fully vaccinated would have to undergo weekly COVID testing, under the plan. The testing would start Dec. 1.

The plan does not require vaccinations, but it requires weekly testing of those who are not vaccinated.

Also on the 7 p.m. agenda is an amendment to the West Lawn Development Agreement at the Legends Outlets allowing for the disbursement of the remaining funds in the community improvement district bond project fund, on the condition that the developer either pave the parking lot or the UG approve a redevelopment plan for the parking lot by Nov. 30, 2022.

There also will be a special session at 5 p.m. tonight to discuss how to spend ARPA funds.

A number of planning and zoning items, and Land Bank items also are on the 7 p.m. agenda, which can be found at https://civicclerk.blob.core.windows.net/stream/WYCOKCK/648d9a4b16.pdf?sv=2015-12-11&sr=b&sig=%2B2FqSnJDMRIyGrBC6x0nBH%2FN%2Fibn8DdvyyJCkG34ITw%3D&st=2021-09-30T19%3A59%3A42Z&se=2022-09-30T20%3A04%3A42Z&sp=r&rscc=no-cache&rsct=application%2Fpdf.
