Dear Rancho Cordova Residents and Businesses,
I’m providing a second update today to let you know about two important items:
First, the City Council met at 4 PM today in an Emergency Council Meeting and voted to declare a state of emergency in the City of Rancho Cordova. Declaring a state of emergency does not mean we have a more serious situation; what this declaration does is it allows the city to be eligible for federal reimbursement of funds used to respond to the coronavirus.
Second, the city activated its Emergency Operations Center this afternoon to ensure that the city has the most coordinated, efficient and effective response to the coronavirus.
As I mentioned in my update earlier today, the County of Sacramento issued an important “stay at home” health directive designed to mitigate the spread of coronavirus. I ask that you take this health directive very seriously.
Your city continues to monitor this situation closely and is working with other cities, Sacramento County, as well as state and federal agencies to ensure we have the most up-to-date information.
Thank you for doing your part to help mitigate the spread of coronavirus. We will continue to update you.
Sincerely,
Cyrus Abhar
City Manager
