I am writing to express support for the work the city and county are doing to protect public
health and the safety of our citizens during the current coronavirus pandemic. I urge the cityto implement strong proactive measures, including declaring a state of emergency, within this
context. Quick, decisive action is needed to ensure emergency funding is accessed and thatthe city has tools on hand to enact appropriate planning without delay.
I strongly encourage the city and county to heed the counsel of local health care leaders in
local decision making. Public safety is our first priority. Please protect our citizens byencouraging decision-makers to keep school closed and to give our local medical community
the resources they need to serve us in this crisis.
We are already in a state of emergency; please continue to act accordingly.
Thank you for service.
