    • Communications/Outreach

    The full City Council meeting can be watched on the City's YouTube Channel.
  • Recovery Task Force Ready to Meet: On September 21, 2021, the City Council approved the list of 55 member organizations for the Recovery Task Force, as part of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2021-2022 City Roadmap "Build Back Better + Task Force" Initiative. In follow up to the City Council action, staff conducted a nomination process by contacting each organization requesting selection of a primary and alternate representative to serve on the Recovery Task Force. The Recovery Task Force web page includes the list of Task Force members, meeting materials and other resources.

    The first Recovery Task Force meeting will be held Thursday, Nov. 4, at 6 p.m. via Zoom. All meetings will be open to the public and interpretation will be available in Spanish and Vietnamese.
  • Modified Operational Hours at Lake Cunningham Action Sports Park: Effective today, Lake Cunningham Action Sports Park is open from 3 to 7 p.m. Wednesdays through Fridays and from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. These changes will be reevaluated approaching the winter holidays. For more information, please visit Lake Cunningham Action Sports Park's web page.
  • Community Centers Welcome Back Active Adults for Fun, Safe Classes:  Registration for online and in-person Active Adult (50+) classes is now open. Residents can register online or at one of the 14 participating community centers. Classes are available as early as the week of Nov. 1 and will follow all county and state health guidelines. Community centers offering a Senior Nutrition Program (SNP) will continue the current curbside pick-up model until appropriate next steps are determined. To help make this determination, each participating site will evaluate the capacity and the Active Adult comfort level of returning to in-person congregate meals by administering a brief survey to participants in Nov. For more information on Active Adult programs at a center near you, visit the PRNS Active Adults web page.

    County test sites provide COVID-19 tests free of charge, regardless of immigration status, and no doctor's note is needed. For people without COVID-19 symptoms, the County currently offers indoor and drive-through sites. People with symptoms are directed to drive-through sites to reduce the chance of getting others sick.

    All healthcare systems are required by the County order to offer free testing to symptomatic persons, persons who have been exposed to a confirmed COVID-19 case, and all essential workers. For more information on testing rights, see our Frequently Asked Questions page.

    All test sites are mapped on the County's website at www.sccfreetest.org. The site is available in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese, and Tagalog. Information is also available by calling 2-1-1.
