Catherine
That will work. I will most likely send out an email extending the verification submittal date because of the virus. Glen

Good morning,

Effective March 17, 2020, the Pinellas County SQG Program has been directed to stop in-person verifications of businesses to limit potential exposure and maintain social distancing.  As a result, we have developed a plan to address how we will proceed until further notice.  This includes:


  *   Conducting phone verifications of facilities that have not been verified in 5+ years so that we can use the previous verification as an interview guide.  A follow-up email with be sent to each facility outlining their opportunities for improvement and providing informational pamphlets.
  *   Conducting drive-bys of facilities that were last listed as out-of-business to determine what business now occupies the facility. Then notify them via mail and enter them into the database as a notification.
  *   Database clean-up through drive-bys and GIS/Google sleuthing.

It is also possible if this situation continues/worsens that our staff will be pulled from the SQG Program entirely and assigned to critical operations.  If that happens, I will notify you.

Thank you,
Catherine
