Item No. 16 <br />memorandum <br />TO: Mayor & City Council <br />Grayson Path, City Manager <br />FROM: Gene Anderson, Finance Director <br />SUBJECT: COVID-19 DRIVE THROUGH TESTING CENTER <br />DATE: April 21, 2020 <br />BACKGROUND: Through the efforts of Mayor Clifford, Dr. A.J. Hashmi agreed to oversee a <br />COVID-19 drive through testing center where citizens could come on a designated day(s) to be <br />tested. At the City Council meeting of April 9, 2020, I was given direction to move forward with <br />the purchase COVID-19 test kits from Phamatech Laboratories through their distributor <br />MDamerica Supply Group. <br />At that same meeting, City Council indicated that once the test kits were received, they would <br />provide direction concerning the procedures and processes for a drive through testing center. <br />STATUS OF ISSUE: After discussion with MDamerica Supply Group, we were able to place an <br />order for 5,000 test kits at the cost of $ 25.00 per kit. As of this date, we have received 1,500 test <br />kits. <br />BUDGET: Funds for this project are in the amended City budget. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Provide direction to the staff concerning the procedures and processes <br />of the proposed drive through testing center. <br />
