On November 13, 2020, Governor Kate Brown announced a state-wide Freeze from November 18, 2020 through December 2, 2020, to help curb the rapid spread of COVID-19.  The two-week Freeze measures have had a significant impact on eating and drinking establishments which have been restricted to delivery and take-out only and to gyms/fitness facilities/indoor entertainment businesses which have been forced to close.

As a result of the Governor's Freeze order, all city facilities will be closed to the public starting tomorrow (November 18th) through December 2nd. City staff will still be working as they have throughout the pandemic, but contacting them by phone or email is now the best route. Like so many, we hope to reopen after this two week period. Stay safe everyone and practice those important steps to reduce the spread of the virus.

The Metropolitan Mayors Consortium, comprised of the Portland Metropolitan Region’s 26 mayors, stands in solidarity with our residents as we mourn the murder of George Floyd at the hands of those entrusted to protect him. We also recognize that Mr. Floyd’s tragic death is not isolated, and that no community is immune to systemic and historic patterns of racial injustice. As mayors, we are uniquely positioned to convene our communities—particularly black people in our communities—to listen and examine our processes and policies with full transparency and advance meaningful reforms.

Today we are in unchartered waters as we as a country, a state and as a community work together to slow the growth rate of Covid-19.  Everyone has a role to play and I am thankful I live in Oregon, in Sherwood specifically, as I know we are all up for this challenge to help protect those at greatest risk.

The experts say we are at the beginning of this pandemic so the more we do to put the brakes on it–the better.  It likely also means doing things differently for longer than we might expect.
