NOR]'][CkR LINA <br /> 5 <br /> 6 <br /> 7 Commissioner Hamilton said the decrease in utility and operating costs seems to be <br /> 8 based on the recent experience of decreased operations, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. She <br /> 9 asked if the County will still have decreases if the economy gets back to normal. She asked if <br /> 10 there is a chance the costs will go back up. <br /> 11 Travis Myren said the County is going through an analysis of what a return to work looks <br /> 12 like. He said he does not anticipate offices being as densely populated as they have been in <br /> 13 the past. He said there will be a survey to determine staff preferences, productivity and <br /> 14 efficiency and flexibility during the COVID-19 pandemic. He said he expects a hybrid work <br /> 15 model to continue. <br /> 16 Commissioner Hamilton said at a recent meeting at the Chamber of Commerce there <br /> 17 are many companies trying to determine if they will return to the office or continue working in a <br /> 18 hybrid fashion. <br /> 19 Travis Myren said personal mileage will also decrease due to a ongoing hybrid work <br /> 20 environment moving forward. <br /> 21 Commissioner Bedford thanked Steve Arndt, Asset Management Services (AMS) <br /> 22 Director, and his staff for their efforts to keep staff and public safe during the pandemic. She <br /> 23 said there was a lot of work to be done so the public could have some interaction and <br /> 24 employees could stay safe. <br />
