be forwarded to the Riverside County Public Health Officer (PHO) in
accordance with state law; chain of command; importance to stay at pace and
uniformly follow the PHO’s health and safety orders and quarantine regulations
to flatten the curve; the PHO is specifically qualified and experienced in
handling situations that affect public health; the City has already consented
to a similar designation of the City’s animal control officer to the PHO; the City
is expressly following PHO’s directives and issuing local Executive Orders if

to use other County resources if needed to enforce compliance with health
and safety orders, and provides for an engaged and collaborative regional
approach to implement and enforce health directives.

City’s authority to the PHO, an unelected official.
Mayor Evans and Councilmembers Fitzpatrick, Peña, and Radi noted that
maintaining local authority is always Council’s first priority, but the COVID-19
pandemic is unprecedented, and expressed general support to consent to
designate the PHO because it would be in effect for the duration of the COVID-
19 local emergency only, and it would be limited to specified purposes related
to the public’s health and safety.
