BUILDING USE GUIDELINES and USAGE AGREEMENT
as of 5/16/2020
To Friends using PLUC for recovery meetings in this time of Covid-19:
PLUC intends to maintain full compliance with:
Executive Order 2020-77 (COVID-19) Temporary requirement to suspend certain
activities that are not necessary to sustain or protect life
https://www.michigan.gov/whitmer/0,9309,7-387-90499_90705-528460--,00.html
The most recent executive order provides an exception to permit participation in
recovery groups:
“7. Exceptions. a. Individuals may leave their home or place of residence, and
travel as necessary: 16. To attend a meeting of an addiction recovery mutual aid
society, provided that no more than 10 people are in attendance.”
PLUC will continue to monitor future executive orders and revise these guidelines as
required.
Portage Lake United Church understands the importance of the recovery groups that
utilize our space. The church views supporting recovery meetings as a priority and
important part of the church ministry. We are blessed by the presence of so many
groups being able to use our facilities as a place of healing and growth. Members of
PLUC benefit from the availability of these important meetings held here.
Group Conscience Agreement
PLUC requires that all groups that want to resume meeting at PLUC enter into an
agreement concerning covid-19 policies and procedures. Each group should engage in
a group conscience decision concerning its willingness to agree and commit to strictly
adhering to the guidelines established by PLUC. This is for the protection of all groups
that intend to use PLUC and for the broader community which could be impacted as a
result of transmission of the virus.
