Mr. Cully,
Thank you for sharing this draft framework for review and consideration. I would like to provide comments on the chart provided in the County Risk Level section of the draft. While I have personal opinions on the balance of public health and governmental overreach, arguing them will likely accomplish little so here is a pragmatic approach to the proposed restrictions. My recommendation is to identify the level of restrictions will allow people to bend without breaking. For example, a restaurant may be able to provide safety measures and operate in a reduced inside capacity for a short time; however if you severely limit their capacity or restrict it to curbside pickup only, you may break the business, forcing them to choose between failing or operating in defiance of the restrictions.
In order to approach the "bend but don't break" level of restrictions, I believe we need to start by completely removing the Columns marked as "High" and "Extreme Risk" from the chart and renaming the "Moderate Risk" column to "Moderate/High Risk." The restrictions in the currently drafted High and Extreme Columns put too many businesses and people into an untenable position. I also believe that the limits on the social gatherings and faith based gatherings be labeled as recommendations as opposed to requirements. If government limits freedom of assembly and freedom of religion (or is even perceived as limiting), many people will outright reject all of the guidelines.
Thank you for your time,
Steve Deller
Molalla City Councilor (Elect)
