SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. — South Lake Tahoe will be getting outside help on pandemic management after City Council on Tuesday evening approved a one-year contract with Ongoing Pandemic Assessment Team Specialists.
OPATS is a third-party risk assessor company that is owned and operated by medical professionals. They will help the city stay compliant with new and changing mandates, offer vaccine education, work site risk analysis and staff testing.
The city’s risk manager, Becky Penado, said the time spent staying up-to-date on mandates and compliance has been a “burden to city staff.” So the contract with OPATS will allow staff to shift their focus from COVID-19 back to their regular duties.
