Background
The Governor of California proclaimed a State of Emergency on March 4 , 2020, due to the
introduction of COVID-19 in the State of California. On March 8, 2020, the Riverside County
Public Health Officer declared a local health emergency based on an imminent and p roximate
threat to public health from the introduction of COVID -19 in Riverside County, which
declaration was ratified by the Riverside County Board of Supervisors on March 10, 2020.
On March 17, 2020, the City Manager , in his capacity as Disaster Direct or, proclaimed a local
emergency throughout the City of Lake Elsinore , finding that conditions of extreme peril to the
safety of persons and property existed in the City related to the COVID -19 outbreak and that
efforts required to prepare for, respond to, mitigate and recover from the increasing spread of
COVID-19 imposed extraordinary demands which exceed the City's resources and are
beyond the control of the services, personnel, equipment and facilities of the City.
On March 24, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2020 -18 Ratifying The
Proclamation Of Local Emergency And Proclaiming The Existence Of A Local Emergency
(COVID-19), and on June 9, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2020 -52 finding
and proclaiming the continued existence of a local emergency (COVID -19).
Under the State's "Blueprint for a Safer Economy," every County in California is assigned to a
tier based on its test positivity and adjusted case rate. The four tiers are yellow, orange, red,
and purple. Yellow indicates minimal COVID-19 spread and allows nearly all businesses to
reopen indoor operations (as long as physical distancing and face-covering requirements are in
place). Purple means there is widespread COVID-19 transmission. Exhibit "A" shows the
metrics and activities associated with each tier.

Discussion
The City of Lake Elsinore is subject to State and County public health orders that restrict and/or
impose guidelines to conduct certain activities. These restrictions apply regardless of the City's
proclamation of a local emergency. However, the declaration of a local emergency provides a
legal basis for requesting and obtaining County, State, or Federal government disaster
assistance. The declaration also activates the emergency operations plan's response and
recovery aspects and authorizes the City to furnish or receive aid and assistance under existing
mutual aid agreements.
Following the adoption by the City Council of the Proclamation of Local Emergency, State law
and the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code require the City Council to periodically review the
necessity for continuing the local emergency until the emergency is terminated. The City
Council found the continued local emergency existed at is February 9, 2021 meeting. Since that
time, Riverside County remained in the most restrictive "Widespread (Purple) Tier" until March
17, 2021, when the County transitioned to the "Substantial (Red) Tier." While key metrics are
trending downward, COVID-19 remains a severe threat to public health in the City of Lake
Elsinore, County of Riverside, and the State of California.
As of March 14, 2021, California reported 3,528,795 confirmed cases of COVID-19, resulting in
55,330 deaths.
