FROM: INTERNAL OPERATIONS COMMITTEE
Costa
DATE: April 8, 1985 County
SUBJECT: Shower Facilities for Female Employees
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION•
Agree to use of the shower facilities in the Public Health
Building ( 1111 Ward St. ) for use by female employees; direct
the County Administrator to publicize the availability of this
facility, and direct the County Administrator to report back to
our Committee in three months on the utilization of this
facility.
BACKGROUND:
For some time, concern has been expressed about shower
facilities for female employees, and rotational use of the
shower facilities off the men' s restroom in the Administration
Building has been suggested as one possible remedial measure.
Staff has been examining alternatives for provision of shower
facilities for women employees and has determined that there is
a women' s shower in the laboratory area on the second floor of
the Health Department building. It is now used by some female
employees and can accommodate additional use. This would
appear to be a satisfactory, immediate remedial measure, and
the availability of this shower should be publicized for the
information of female employees upon concurrence of the Board.
Another alternative, but one which would require further
exploration and some remodeling costs, is the development of a
shower in one of the several county-owned residences along
Escobar for use of female employees. If use of the Health
Department building shower does not satisfactorily resolve the
problem, we would suggest this alternative for further
consideration. In order to determine the need to explore this
alternative, we are requesting a report back to our Committee
in three months.
