Special equipment was purchased and installed in the HVAC syste m in City facilities, which
filters out airborne pathogens (including viruses) from the environment. This equipment
was purchased to mitigate the effects of the pandemic by reducing the risk of the
Coronavirus within City facilities.
TELEWORK
Equipment was purchased and installed in the Development Building in the former Council
Chambers to permit virtual public meetings to take place. At the time this equipment
was purchased and installed, City Council was conducting virtual meetings due to the
pandemic.
COMMUNITY NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS
In 2020, staff identified non-profit organizations serving the needs of Dublin City residents
that have had increased expenditures due to the pandemic. These organizations provide
the types of services that are eligible to be paid using money from the Coronavirus Relief
Fund. They provide food and other assistance such as utility and rent payments for
families with a loss of income as a result of the pandemic. Council approved the
distribution of funds to these organizations in December 2020 in Resolution 73-20 and
the funds were provided to the organizations in early 2021.
These organizations are the Dublin Food Pantry, the Dublin Welcome Warehouse, and
Dublin Bridges. A total of $60,000 was divided among the organizations and all three
were able to utilize all of the funds to help citizens of Dublin who needed assistance
during this trying and stressful time.
