A. City Manager COVID-19 Update.
Mr. Brown reported the Stay At Home Order has been lifted by Governor
Newsom. He noted Ventura County’s highest average daily cases seen
throughout the course of the pandemic occurred in January with Ventura
and Riverside counties having the highest case numbers in the State . The
surge experienced in December is beginning to subside and case rates
have dropped which provided for an unexpected lifting of the statewide
Stay At Home order by the Governor.
During the December and post-holiday surge in cases, a small number of
employees became infected resulting in City Hall closing completely and
switching to a complete remote model on January 11 in an effort to protect
employees and ensure the City could still provide critical services to the
public. All employees have fully recovered, and employees will return to
work on February 8, but City Hall will remain closed to the public with
limited appointments, and to provide business assistance and grant
