I’m a Councilman for one of Los Angeles’ neighborhood councils. Last night our Executive Meeting moved a question of mine on to next weeks General Meeting.
This is most of the paper I wrote and got passed to the General Meeting agenda.
Due to the impending medical pandemic, I am asking the xxxx to declare a medical emergency in order to move with great speed and if necessary, cut some corners. Our speed and the speed of other higher levels of government will save lives.
Los Angles City and County Alcohol Based Hand Sanitizer Stations:
1) All businesses with five or more employees, multi-business complexes, businesses with direct public access or foot traffic and schools will be required to place alcohol based hand sanitizer station or stations in prominent locations for all persons to use. These stations will have proper signage.
2) The city and county will prominently place public access alcohol based hand sanitizer stations with proper signage, at exterior locations where people foot travel or congregate. These stations will possibly be placed on sidewalks, corners of major intersections or venues, for all persons to use.
I suggest we allow city or county medical authorities to establish the necessary requirements.
