City Manager’s Update (pdf)
June 18, 2021

Greetings, all.

Not to state the obvious, but it is HOT out….Please be careful working outside. Drink lots of water, seek shade, and don’t overexert yourself. Heat illness prevention information is below, along with tips on how to help conserve energy during peak times and avoid rolling black out during Flex Alerts.

COVID-19 Are we there yet?”

Woot! Woot! We have lift off! Starting June 15, the following COVID regulations are in place:

  • Capacity limitations: No restrictions!
  • Physical distancing: No restrictions!
  • Masking: Individuals who are fully vaccinated do not need to wear a mask in most settings. Unvaccinated individuals must continue to wear masks in indoor public settings, including businesses. All residents must continue to wear masks on public transit and in the workplace, medical facilities, K-12 schools, correctional facilities and shelters, regardless of their vaccination status.
  • Travelers: Follow CDC recommendations.
  • Mega Events: Proof of full vaccination or of a recent negative COVID-19 test is required for persons attending indoor mega events (consisting of 5,000 or more attendees) and is recommended for those attending outdoor mega events (consisting of 10,000 or more attendees).
  • Please note that businesses can require additional restrictions. At City Hall, please wear a mask in our public lobbies and at public counters for the health and safety for our employees, not all of whom are able to be vaccinated.

Please Note:

  • Swim team registration is open! The City has partnered with Solano-DART to manage the team. Please click here for more information. Practices begin on Monday, June 21.
