<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif">Please refer to this email exchange between Melanie Hingle and myself regarding some concerns recently expressed by an Extension faculty member based at MAC. This faculty member
is expressing concerns regarding sanitation, cleanliness, and safety measures being provided for off-campus facilities, such as experiment station sites and all of our county Extension offices.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif">I know that we all easily agree on the importance of cleaning and sanitation measures that will be necessary whenever we begin to transition back into work in our facilities
for the safety of all employees. We do not know when or how these transitions will take place but we do know that it will likely be coming soon and we all need to give some thought on how to manage this process.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif">For now, I encourage each of you to give this consideration and begin to communicate immediately to all faculty and staff in your units that you/we recognize the importance
of workplace safety and we will make sure that all appropriate measures are taken to ensure that. This message should be included in the communications to your unit’s personnel beginning this next week.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

for that session if they would like to do so. Kristie Gallardo will provide the contact information for the Zoom session for us all.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
