City of Faribault issued the following announcement on May 29.
The City recognizes this pandemic has had a devastating effect on local businesses, and we want to help.
Starting June 1, the governor has allowed the reopening of outdoor seating for bars and restaurants, with the following guidelines:
➤ Develop and implement a COVID-19 Preparedness Plan
➤ Open for outdoor dining or curbside pickup/delivery only
➤ Ensure at least 6 feet of distance with maximum on premises; capacity to no more than 50 persons
➤ Limit table service to 4 persons, or 6 if part of one family unit
➤ Require reservations; do not allow walk-in customers
➤ Require masks or face shields to be worn be workers and strongly recommend masks for all customers
➤ Establish regular disinfection routine and train workers
To help businesses navigate this new hurdle locally, and with the idea of “temporary outdoor seating” helping business, find the City’s checklist for submittal requirements here.
