Alderman Jette
Could we just have a brief explanation as to what the policy is going to do?
President Wilshire
Sure, Mayor Donchess.
Mayor Donchess
Yes. | believe Director Bagley may be on the call as well. | see Director Kleiner here who could also discuss this. But the
basic idea here is to create an incentive for people to get vaccinated. What it says is that if you are absent as a result of a
COVID-19 infection and you have been vaccinated, you will not need to use your sick days during the period of your
absence. But on the other hand if you get a COVID-19 case and you are not vaccinated and need to be out as a result of
you're having contracted the virus and you are unvaccinated, you will be charged sick days. So it creates a distinction in
terms of use of sick days between those people who are vaccinated and those who are not.
Alderman Jette
Thank you.
Alderman Klee
Thank you. | just have one question and maybe you said it and | just missed it. What if there was a situation where a
person medically could not have the vaccine and then they did get it? Would they still have to sign for leave?
Mayor Donchess
| don't Know that we have gotten into that level of distinction. | would suggest if that does happen that - now in order to
not have your sick days used, you have to produce medical evidence. In other words, a vaccination report from a medical
provider. | suppose if we received a medical provider’s opinion that someone could not get vaccinated for some reason,
we would take that into account.
Alderman Klee
Thank you.
