To: Members of the City of Lester Prairie - CORONA VIRUS 

Chief Carlson is also the Lester Prairie Safety Director, and we have met to discuss what should be our appropriate action regarding the Corona Virus and how to soften the impact on Lester Prairie.

Because of the great concern over limiting the potential infection and spread of the Corona Virus, the City of Lester Prairie is going to follow the lead of the Center for Disease Control, MN Department of Health and McLeod County and other municipalities at this time. We have employees, family members, and elderly people in our community that are particularly vulnerable during this unprecedented time, and it is imperative that we do all that we can to diminish the risk to everyone in our community.

We will be limiting the number of people in attendance at any meeting to a target of 10. At times this may be only the Mayor & Council, a news reporter, and a few others who are on the agenda. We may need to have people leave as they are done and let in another to insure all are heard, but we are going to do our best to mitigate the risk to the City of Lester Prairie and our township neighbors. We will also be canceling any rentals or other large gatherings that are planned at this time until further notice.

Internally, we will limit contact within the City and meet by telephone whenever that is workable. We will also have increased levels of disinfecting going on before and after meetings, and we will do our best to maintain the 6’ foot rule that is currently recommended. We will encourage only those who have business here to stop at City Hall, and we will be as careful as we are able to be. We will probably be limiting hours of operation and encourage people to drop things into the slot unless you absolutely need to talk with the staff. Please utilize the phone for as much communication as possible.  We will keep everyone updated as we go.

Thank you all for your cooperation during this concerning time.

 

Mike
