Reopening plans

Last year, we closed city facilities to protect public health during the COVID-19 pandemic. Essential city services like public safety, emergency maintenance and child care continued in-person. Most other city services changed format to virtual, online and curbside pickup.

Join the millions of Californians now vaccinated. Do it for yourself, your family and your community. Safe, free, and effective COVID-19 vaccines are available to everyone age 5 and up. Check out the COVID-19 Vaccine resources and let’s end this pandemic!
