Aside from having to deal with some slightly uncomfortable sunburns, my family and I are feeling great and we're not exhibiting any signs of pathogen infection. However, out of an abundance of caution and in keeping with the spirit of the City Manager's directive to city employees, I'll be self quarantining for the next 14 days. I will be attending all city council meetings from home by way of video conference. I'm taking these precautions for the safety of my coworkers and my neighbors."
