Below you will find the 1 hour 20 minute video segment of yesterday’s Board of Sups meeting covering COVID-19. In the video you will hear verbal reports from Emergency Services Manager Don Ryan and Public Health Official Beta Matyas, followed by Supervisor Q&A. At the end you will hear the Supervisors’ unanimous vote on a motion to approve moving forward with opening of “green” (lower risk) businesses this week. They will consider moving forward with “yellow” (medium risk) businesses next week Tuesday, May 12.
I am unable to locate documentation at this time as to the specifics of “green” or “yellow” business definitions and the pertinent guidelines and regulations that will govern their openings. I have requested such documentation from Benicia’s Supervisor Monica Brown.
Understanding the Economic Disruption to Benicia as a Result of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has created new obstacles for business, employees, elected officials, job seekers, and everyone in the Benicia community. The City of Benicia engaged Dr. Robert Eyler, PhD of Economics, to help us understand what this extraordinary event means for our local economy and our recovery.
Below is the powerpoint Governor Newsom used at his noon press conference today to outline the process for California’s road to modifying stay-at-home orders and re-opening the businesses and workplaces. A good summary can be found at CBS8 San Diego. (A print version is likely to appear soon on the Governor’s coronavirus page.)
The City of Benicia is sponsoring a free, 30-minute webinar on Tuesday, April 28, 2020 at 6:00 p.m. titled “Understanding the Economic Disruption to City of Benicia as a Result of COVID-19” with speaker Dr. Robert Eyler. Details below. Register here.
