The County has moved into Tier 1 B for vaccinations which will allow City staff including preschool, public works, emergency operations, and community services, and those that serve meals, to now receive vaccinations, ensuring continuity of services in the event of an emergency and adding a layer of protection to staff that have direct contact with the public.
