Minutes of the City Council/Successor Agency Moorpark, California Page 5 June 2, 2021 Effective at 12:01 a.m. on June 2, Ventura County moved into the Yellow Tier, the least restrictive tier in California's roadmap to recovery. Ventura County's adjusted case rate improved from 1.5 new cases per 100,000 people to 1.2 with overall test positivity rate remaining at 0.7%, and in health equity areas the test positivity rate dropped from 1.4% to 1.1 %. Currently, 66% of the County aged 12+ have received at least one dose and 54% of the those 12 and older are fully vaccinated. Also on the vaccination front, Moorpark Unified School District partnered with Ventura County Public Health to offer a walk-up/drive to "pop-up" COVID-19 vaccine clinic on June 1 at Chaparral Middle School from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. open to anyone in the community with those families with children aged 12 and up specifically targeted to be vaccinated. A second "pop-up" event will be held at Chapparal in the coming weeks (at least 21 days) for second shots. Moving into the Yellow Tier allows for increases in capacity in many sectors and will also allow bars to begin providing indoor service at 25% capacity. Sectors with increases in capacity limits include amusement parks and fairs, gyms and fitness centers, yoga studios, private events, bars, hotels and short-term lodging rentals, private gatherings, breweries, indoor playgrounds, restaurants, cardrooms and racetracks, indoor and outdoor live events and performances, wineries and tasting rooms, family entertainment centers, and museums, zoos, and aquariums. Ventura County made the shift to the Yellow Tier two weeks in advance of Governor Newsom's June 15 re-opening date, which he has signaled will be an end of the current color-coded tier system. It is unclear exactly what the plans are for after June 15 and further updates will be provided as information becomes available. 8. PUBLIC HEARINGS: A.
