LEARN ABOUT LIVERMORE'S PUBLIC BUILDINGS |
The City owns 42 buildings that are maintained with your tax dollars, including historic buildings, fire stations, libraries, and City Hall. Each building is made up of components that need to be maintained like flooring, roofing, windows and doors, heating, cooling, and electrical. Imagine having to do all that for more than 40 buildings at a total price tag of over $3.5 million per year!

Bay Area Health Officers urge the public to take precautions as COVID levels rise.
The Bay Area now has California’s highest COVID infection rates. The current wave is fueled by highly contagious Omicron subvariants. Bay Area counties are seeing increases in reported cases, levels of virus in sewer sheds, and hospitalizations. Actual case rates are higher than those reported because of widespread use of home tests.
These health officers reiterate their continued, strong support for people to mask up indoors, keep tests handy, and ensure they are up to date on vaccinations by getting boosters when eligible.
“Daily reported cases in Alameda County have reached levels seen during the Delta wave. If you’ve chosen not to wear a mask indoors recently, now is a good time to start masking again,” said Alameda County Health Officer Dr. Nicholas Moss. “Fortunately, cases remain far below what we observed during the Omicron surge, and hospitalizations have shown only modest increases so far. A little caution can help keep it that way.”

From May 23 to June 5 the Livermore Police Department will have additional officers on patrol actively looking for drivers and passengers who are not wearing a seat belt. This includes vehicles where children are not secured in child safety seats.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 10,893 people killed in crashes throughout the country in 2020 were not wearing seat belts. In California, 756 people killed in crashes in 2020 were not wearing seat belts, or nearly 20% of all traffic deaths in the state.
California law requires a child to be secured in a safety or booster seat until they are at least 8 or at least 4 feet, 9 inches tall. Children under the age of 2 must ride in a rear-facing seat unless the child weighs 40 or more pounds or is 40 or more inches tall.
California has a primary seat belt law, which allows law enforcement officers to ticket someone for not wearing a seat belt without committing another traffic violation.
