Mayor Clifford asked Ms. Ellis if she had received any e-mails from the public about this item, and she said she had not. Mayor Clifford said he called this meeting because the ability to do mass testing was being made available to the City. He asked Dr. Hashmi to explain the purpose of mass testing. Dr. Hashmi explained the goal was to determine the status of individuals so they could go on with their lives. He said these tests would be done through blood and would reflect COVID positive prior to an individual exhibiting any symptoms. Dr. Hashmi also explained a person who previously had COVID would be able to possibly help a seriously ill individual, if that person had the antibodies. He said this test would reflect those antibodies. Dr. Hashmi reviewed the process of testing and three different stages, including IGM and IGG. Mayor Clifford inquired why these tests were difficult to get and Dr. Hashmi said every city and State wanted these tests. Mayor Clifford explained the pros and cons of mass testing and gave different scenarios. City Council discussed additional details with regard to how soon the City could get the testing, the county not wanting to contribute, whether or not to charge individuals for this service, the amount of money that would be spent from reserves, and the effect on the budget. City Council also discussed the process of how testing would be administered, and that the total Special Council Meeting April 9, 2020 Page 2 process from beginning to finish would take approximately fifteen minutes, which included getting the result of the test. Mr. Anderson, as did City Council expressed concern about the company's request for payment prior to receiving test kits, and discussed different options for dealing with that request. Mayor Clifford said he had done some research into the company and they had 25 or 30 tests which were approved by the FDA. Interim City Manager Gene Anderson said he was just made aware of all of the information a day ago, but that he had also done some research and the company appeared to be a reputable company. It was a consensus of City Council that Gene Anderson do further research and negotiate with the manufacturer, specifically find out if the City could order a lesser number of test kits, and if the City could pick the kits up from the warehouse. A Motion for Gene Anderson to proceed with further research, purchase test kits and keep the Council informed was made by Mayor Clifford and seconded by Council Member Hughes and Council Member Knox. 3.
