Greetings!
As we move into the 4
th week of COVID-19 Response Health Orders for Sheltering in Place and Physical Distancing, I want to emphasize the importance of doubling down on these practices. The Countywide cases continue to increase – 638 cases and 21 deaths as of today. With Easter weekend upon us, and some decent weather, many will be tempted to have fun outdoors. I urge you to do so in the safety of your yard or immediate neighborhood and to not crowd public spaces or the beaches.
As this pandemic unfolds, the City has been focused on its crisis response efforts, but we’ve also had to take stock of disruptions to the City’s priority projects and initiatives. I have prepared an
Update on the Coronavirus’s Impact on City Priorities for Fiscal Year 2019-2020. This unprecedented long-lasting pandemic has created, and will continue to exacerbate, disruptions to once previously normal routines in the community for residents, visitors, businesses, non-profits, and local governments. The City of Pacifica’s operations are no exception; program and service enhancements and special initiatives and projects that were underway and planned during this time have been and will continue to be disrupted while the City is focused on essential work only during Shelter in Place and Physical Distancing Orders. And uncertainty about the future curve of the Coronavirus, combined with the beginning of an economic recession, make budget and project timeline planning for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2019-2020 and into Fiscal Year 2020-21 challenging. However, we will get through these disruptions and continue forward, as soon as it is safe to do so, with all the major planning and infrastructure projects and program enhancements so critical to the City’s future that will enable the Pacifica community to thrive into the future.
On a different, but very important, topic: Please make sure to complete your
Census 2020 Survey. Local funding depends on this information.
Take care and stay safe.
Sincerely,
KEVIN WOODHOUSE
City Manager
