· Parking office told someone that if they work 24 hours or less per week on campus then they can get the part-time rate: $8 instead of $16 without losing spot in line
· Working 1 day a week or less at South Street, can cancel parking
3. COVID Booster Shots

· Trying to get am exemption for booster but EHS is backed up: write to Theresa Kane and Sharone Green
4. Public Service Announcements:
· Fair Share Amendment – on the ballot in the fall
· 2 days ALT time for SHARE members – key dates
o Employed by 9/10/21
o In compliance with vaccine mandate by 11/11/21
o Must be used by 6/30/22
o Can check in HR Direct after that they did it right
· Testing: Need to test if you are on campus even for ½ hour, and no more walk-ins, have to have an appointment. Can test on the day you are coming in, but if you have been fully remote and are starting to come back to University campus then you need to test the week before. If South St, come to Univ the 1st time. If I stop for 90 days because I was tested positive, will I get dropped off the list. Employee health totally overwhelmed. Testing for covid after vacation out of MA, 3-5 days after returning
