A. City Manager COVID-19 Update.
Mr. Brown reported the Governor’s Stay Home Order Executive Order has
been lifted and phased out the vast majority of executive actions that were
put in place beginning in March 2020 as part of the pandemic response,
leaving a subset of provisions that facilitate the ongoing recovery. This
means no more physical distancing, no capacity limits, no county tiers,
and relaxed mask guidance for fully vaccinated people.
The California Department of Public Health has issued new guidance for
several industry sectors including schools, c hildcare providers,
c orrectional/detention facilities, disaster shelters, transportation, mega
events, and businesses, churches. The State has switched to a more
intuitive system for identifying when face coverings are required
depending on exposure risk and in light of fully vaccinated individuals
hav ing less risk of contracting COVID-19. Unvaccinated persons are still
required to wear masks to protect themselves and others in most settings.
95
Minutes of the City Council/Successor Agency
Moorpark, California
Page 5 June 16, 2021
This means if you are fully vaccinated, masks are not required and if you
have yet to be fully vaccinated social distancing and face covering
requirements remain in place with regulation enforcement up to
businesses and individuals.
This means Moorpark Businesses can fully reopen now although return to
100% capacity will take time depending on the business sector. Also, we
may see different signage on businesses outlining their face covering
policy. Businesses are permitted to require its patrons to be masked
when they enter and in certain business sectors such as health care,
public transit masks are still required. Businesses are encouraged to call
the City with questions.
The City has already resumed in-person meetings and opened City
facilities to the public and staff will still be required to don face coverings in
certain situations regardless of vaccination status. Cal OSHA will be
issuing further guidance on masking tomorrow as their most recent
guidance conflicted with the CDC guidance.
The City has returned to planning events for the coming fiscal year
including Country Days, Holiday on High Street, Movies in the Park, and
the 3rd of July fireworks. Capacity will to be limited to less than 10,000 for
the 3rd of July event based on State guidance for “mega events.” Such
events are allowable but have significant requirements that we cannot
meet for this year.
COVID-19 metrics continue to improve, with the County seven-day case
rate at 1.2 per 100,000 and test positivity rate at 0.7%.
Please go to www.venturacountyrecovers.org or the City’s website for
information updates, and business are encouraged to subscribe to the
City’s M -Powered newsletter.
