Town Suaervisor. 215 North Tioea St.. Ithaca.

MEETING OF THE ITHACA TOWN BOARD Monday, July 27, 2020 TB Resolution 2020 - : Approval of Return to Work Following Out of State Travel- Due to COVID -19 Policy Whereas, the State of New York has successfully slowed the transmission of COVID-19 but many risks remain; and Whereas, the State of New York has gone from having the highest infection rate to one of the lowest in the country and is actively taking measures to contain the continued spread of COVID- 19; and Whereas, certain other states are experiencing an increased spread of COVID-19; and Whereas, New York Governor Andrew M. Cuomo issued Executive Order No. 205 on June 24, 2020 directing the Commissioner of the New York State Department of Health ("Commissioner") to issue a travel advisory stating, in relevant part, that all travelers entering New York from a state with a positive test rate for COVID-19 higher than 10 per 100,000 residents, or higher than a 10% test positivity rate, over a seven day rolling average, will be required to quarantine for a period of 14 calendar days consistent with Department of Health regulations for quarantine (the "Quarantine Order"); and Whereas, it is anticipated that during the pendency of the Quarantine Order, Town employees may elect to voluntarily travel to a state that is included in said order for reasons unrelated to his or her employment with the Town and thereafter return to New York; and Whereas, the Quarantine Order authorizes the Commissioner to issue additional protocols for essential workers, or for other extraordinary circumstances, when a quarantine is not possible, provided such measures continue to safeguard the public health; and Whereas, notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the opinion of the Town Board that whether or not an employee is "essential" cannot outweigh the need to protect those employees who have not traveled to a state that is subject to the Quarantine Order from the heightened risk of infection; and Whereas, the Town Board must balance the health and safety concerns of all Town employees with the rights of those employees who elect to travel to states subject to the Quarantine Order; now, therefore, be it Resolved, the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca hereby establishes the following policy with respect to non -work related travel to a state listed on the Quarantine Order by all Town employees and officials: 1. Any Town employee or official who voluntarily travels to a state listed on the New York State Department of Health website as being subject to Governor Cuomo's Quarantine Order No. 205 shall not be permitted to return to work in person at Town premises or other assigned job locations until fourteen (14) calendar days after the employee or official returns to the State of New York and self -quarantines. 2. If, upon returning to New York from a Quarantine Order state, the employee or official is able to work remotely, as determined in the discretion of his or her Department Head, said employee or official will be paid for the number of hours worked during each business day that said employee is required to self -quarantine. 3. If the employee or official is unable to work remotely during the required fourteen 14 calendar day self -quarantine period, said employee or official will not be paid any wages by the Town, but an employee may elect to utilize all available accrued paid leave time to continue receiving a paycheck during said period. 4. The employee or official must be asymptomatic with no fever, and provided a negative test result, upon return to work following the self -quarantine period. 5. This policy shall remain in effect for the duration of Executive Order No. 205 issued by Governor Cuomo.
