Other: I walked by a city parking enforcement official this afternoon, idling in his vehicle while socializing with a second man leaning into the open driver's side window to converse with the parking official while his own vehicle idled across the street. Neither man was wearing a mask despite their proximity. The official was driving Parking Enforcement vehicle number 250, and this was at about 1:25 PM on Hawthorne, just north of Hunter near campus. It would be good if city employees could be encouraged to take pandemic precautions more seriously, particularly when on the job, to prevent unnecessary danger to the community and other city personnel during this dire point in the crisis.
The parking officer will be advised to wear the mask at all times while working.
Please remind staff of importance of following all COVID-19 precautions.
